Prius Prime map update

whoops. no problem.

 

So…maybe I was wrong in my previous post saying the ANSIKE card didn’t work. The car did report a card read error on first power-up, as I said. But I’m thinking now it was a functioning card and I should have just left it. I say this because I ordered another similar card from Amazon (this one), based on reviews and "A" Fakespot score. When I installed it yesterday, I got the same "cannot read SD card" pop-up on initial start-up. But this time, I checked a few map functions before removing it and things seemed to be working as expected, despite the error message.

Today, I did not get the error on power-up, and I used navigation without a problem for a couple local drives. My maps, which were dated 2017-4-1, are now dated 2022-5-1, and I am seeing local roads for new housing developments I know did not exist in 2017, so it appears to be a newer map.

I’ll report back after I’ve had more time to play with it, but thinking now that error message is just a one-time hiccup and not a real problem.

 

Hi Sorry to break in
I have a 2017 Prius Prime Advance
When I go to Toyota parts check the standard monitor show the Nav SD upgrade card for about $200. However when you enter you vehicle info or Vin# it breaks down the parts list and indicates the SD is different for the 11.6" screen and far more costly- cheapest I found was $600 and as much as $900+ ? So I guess I'm asking was the standard SD totally compatible the Prius Advance 11.6" nav system. I having the SD installed this week and they quoted $200 but I concern it might screw something up. I belief it's 86271-GN8PR-23. However every Toyota part selling site indicates to use a another version at a steep price.
Your feed back will be much appreciated . Did you search and come across the same thing? Search for 86271-GN8PR-20 or 23 and you see what I mean when you check model compatibility. See PDF I attached.
Thanks Mark

 

Was you display the 11.6"
Thanks Mark

 

Also did it the new SD work the same with all the same features as the old card(Voice guide - Etc.) Thanks Again

 

Looks like there are 2024 map cards out now. I'm looking to update my 2017 Prime Premium (11.6 display) because they changed all the exit numbers around here a few years ago, but it isn't clear to me what card is supposed to work - they all mention 2017-2018 Primes, but not a specific model, and I see cards labeled as 86271-0E076 and 86271-0E075 - is that just the difference between the 2024 and 2023 cards? I'm leery because I know there are differences between the 11.6 head units and the smaller ones...

 

I just installed the 2024 edition (86271-0E976) from Amazon Canada into our 2018 Prius V Tech with Nav. All good as it quickly got through the loading maps message and the map date updated to 2023. Our old breadcrumbs and labeled addresses were all there afterwards.
The first one we ordered wasn’t marked Amazon delivery and never showed up. We got a refund on that and by that time, there were versions available with Amazon delivery. Showed up quickly this time.
When we bought this used from a Toyota dealer, I asked for a map upgrade with our deal. They gave us $200 off instead.

 

About a week ago I successfully installed the 86271-0E075 into my 2017 Prius Prime Plus with small screen. The Amazon seller was Kimlion. My review of it on Amazon is under username NikonF7. I paid $8.99 after $1 (or 10%?) off coupon. That was about 1/3 of what the 1 year newer 0E076 was going for at the time. So I upgraded to probably 6 years newer than what I had, versus 7.

I just pulled open the little door at bottom right of screen, and with car off, replaced the chip. After that, I just followed instructions on the screen.

Turned car on, it gave instructions to turn car off and on. I did that, then the progress bar chugged along for about 10 minutes until done. Once the car was happy, and appearing to have the new maps (May 2022) I turned the car off and on again, all was well. One more time for good measure, all was well. Cleaned dust out from behind the door before replacing it.

It does find some slightly different and better "shortest route" and "fastest route" results compared to before, and does display the 2022 map date in the car's settings. No new roads around here to test it on, but it sure seems to be updated, to me. I put the old chip in the glove box in case this one dies.

Nothing went wrong. For $9 it is a no-brainer to do this.
