    When I purchased my 2016 in November the SD card was missing. I noticed this durIng the delivery inspection checklist because the navigation did not work. My salesperson said "no problem", opened the door to the nearest Prius on the lot, removed the SD card from that car and put it in my car. I almost started to protest. But it works, I've had no problems whatsoever.

    Side note: it is absolutely amazing that all of this information fits on a scrap of plastic and silicon smaller than my thumbnail!

    I have a really old full height 80MB HD the size of a shoebox. I love to put a 16GB microSD card on top of it for comparison. 200x the storage in /200+ the size.

    that card is a 16gb card... I have a 128GB same size in my dash Cam... I remember the 5Mb size of a shoe box hard drive that was in a IBM PCXT... Cost a bargain price of $5,000 usd with PC DOS .. you could warm bread on that monster

    I had a Seagate 20MB in my XT clone. The 80MB shoebox was the same Seagate technology but with 4x the platters. Came off of a server. Those things were prone to head drift due to thermal environment or how it was mounted.

    Can I ask where in the car that is located? The reason I ask is that today my 2017 Prius Prime had a message that it could not find the maps SD card and that I should check it. I turned off the car and restarted it and everything is now working, but I could not locate the SD compartment and the owner's manual does not mention it at all.

    Their profile says "bay area" so, I assume California. Why? do you think you got the car that was robbed? :eek:

    For the Prius Prime Advanced, with the 11-inch display, the microSD card slot is on the bottom of the head unit, as shown on page 274 of the Navigation System Owner’s Manual (PDF), which is separate from the main Owner’s Manual for the car.

    For Prius and Prius Prime cars that have the 7-inch display, the microSD card slot is on the front of the head unit, as shown on page 261 of the corresponding version of the Navigation System Owner’s Manual (PDF).

    Thanks for the information. I didn't actually search through the manual, but only looked at the contents and index and SD card is not listed either place.

    I have a 2018 Prime. I bought an updated micro SD card (86271-0E073). The first card did not work but was replaced by the vender. It contains over 37,000 files but took several attempts to get it inserted properly. However, the nav does not work properly. The map appears but I am unable to select a destination. I have been working this problem since last November. Any ideas? A major nav system updated was requested recently by the head unit, but it neither helped or hindered the situation. No "Installation" process was started when the card was inserted. Could the card be installed improperly, but the system fails to detect the problem? Any troubleshooting suggestions would be appreciated.
