    Hi. I have a 2017 Prius Prime Advanced. Toyota stopped posting navigation data update a few years ago. So I read the posts online and figured out that third parties are selling annual(?) updates on Amazon. I bought one for 2024. It seemed to have uploaded the new map, but when I drive to work, after a few miles of driving away from my house, the screen stops showing any streets. Is this because the upload from the microSD card is still in progress? Or did I not update the map correctly?

    You might want to disconnect the 12v battery for a few minutes. This will reset all the systems in the car. It's possible the update left some bad data in memory.

    But in general, now that your car is seven years old, it'd be wise to switch to Apple or Google maps, which get updated in real time based on traffic congestion data and construction projects, which is way more reliable and safer than an old car's map system.

    Thanks for your suggestion. How do I disconnect the 12V battery?

    Also, how do I connect Android Auto to the big screen on this car? I tried before and failed.
