I can DVR my radio - whaaaa?

There may have been unintended confusion but there was no need to harass a new Prius owner who is clearly just excited about some new found functionality and wanted to share. Sharing learnings and experiences about our cars is what this forum is all about and we should encourage it.

 

Full moons and eclipses bring out the "other side." Who knew.

 

I doubt it.
People who are looking for a conflict will find an excuse to create one in just about anything.

I am sorry if I offended you. Really.

 

can you give us any details on the dar?

 

how far back can you go, and do you have to pay monthly for entire or whatever to get it?

 

If it's like a DVR it would be recording a buffer, say 15 minutes, AND be able to record a program in it's entirety, if you specify. And as long as you start it recording within 15 minutes of the program start time, you'd get it all.

 

This is not new. Entune in my 2014 4Runner TEP and 2014 Camry hybrid have this.

 

The way a DVR works, it's constantly recording that buffer, 15~20 minutes, whatever the design calls for. But there's also a much greater recording capacity, IF you intervene, tell it you want a specific program, either in advance, or within the buffer period (within 15~20 minutes of the program start). Then it switches from just recording that buffer, to recording the program, utilizing more of it's recording space.

 

Yeah but we can hope, lol.

 

haven't heard anyone else with a prime mention it. maybe no one's impressed.

 

Maybe few owners have noticed.
It took me a while.

 

I tried it once when I found it in 2014, but I never found anything on radio worth pausing.

 

that's how i feel, but i'm sure some will use it. i rarely listen to the radio, usb mostly.

 

Same here. Worthy for sports events I suppose. I like the iPod integration even though I'm not an Apple person. I've spent a decade or two accumulating a couple of terabytes of lossless max bit rate FLAC files for all the music I like from day one to current with all the album art, complete ID3 tags, etc. It's a great way to eval new sound systems because the input is flawless. I'm always amazed by people that eval sound systems based on how the "radio" sounds. Lordy . . .

 

I love this. Ive been waiting for this feature for like 10 years. Just a simple pause , grab some gas , not miss anything. Or Wth did he just say ?.. Rewind.

Thats all you need. Neat. Ive never seen this on any radio. My 2009 chrysler town and country has a pretty fancy radio that plays dvds and has a hdd for uploading folders of your own music. But i never saw any mention of a pause / rewind radio. Now though my hdd is out in that and ive not spent the 100.00 to get a new one.
