    My used 2013 Prius 3 didn't come with a nav manual and it doesn't look like any in the manuals online. I'm sick of screaming at it! Please help.

    Is it possible the previous owner did not have factory navigation and bought something online (e.g. ebay) and installed it?

    Take a photo and upload it so we can assess it.

    I did just find this picture online which is the same as mine. The couple from whom I purchased the car said that they weren't able to get the manual when they purchased it from the first owner.

    It was formerly owned by a leasing company. That concerned me, although everything I was told was confirmed by Carfax.

    I hate buying used cars!

    Thank you for your patience. Bad day.

    To echo @bisco what exactly are you confused about?

    Setting up the Nav via the Setup menu?
    Setting up the Options?
    Creating a Destination?
    What?

    I found that on Google. Those that are shown in the pdfs that'are downloaded from the Toyota site, have completely different interfaces.

    So, I've yet to find a proper manual for my not-so-nice interface.

    I can't even find the damn Home button! Grrrr

    How do you set HOME? I can't do anything with it!

    It's not.

    After dealing with that thing, if I had a gun, I'd probably shoot myself. Going to pop a Valium instead. Grrr

    I have the manual and it still wasn't easy. I never got my navigation to work to my standard. There are lots of new addresses (including my home) which aren't recognized and the graphics are severely outdated. I read that many others here were as frustrated and decided to stick with my Garmin.

    You might very well end up using your Garmin/iPhone/google maps/Waze after you figure out how poorly (IMO) the navigation works. The fact that you think the online manuals are for another model, or that you even need one to figure out basic stuff (like setting home) can be an indication that you won't be happy with your nav, either.

    Ok first, stop freaking out :)

    Second, the physical buttons on the side may not look the same, but the onscreen functions should be the same because the photo you attached is the "6.1" Display Audio System w/ Navigation" head unit.

    Setting HOME,
    1. Press APPS
    2. Press Maps
    3. Press Destination
    4. Press My Destinations
    5. Under the "Stored" tab, there will be an entry for HOME (Although I think the system asks you if you want to set a Home address if you haven't done so before)

    Thank you. Something is obviously wrong with it.
