Audio on/off - found new method!

Well done
You know also if you keep pressing the "mode"button you can choose FM1,FM2,FM3,CD,AUX,and the up/down buttons below can choose stations/tracks in whatever mode you're in,
I'm in Ireland and my local Toyota dealer gave me a loan of a Prius for a day back in 2006[even before i had ordered one]to check it out,the phrase "like a child let loose in a sweet shop"comes to mind when i think back,i think my wife thought she was single again on that day

 

I suggest reading through the User-Guide. You'll find more tips like that, like holding the track/channel button to switch CDs.

.

 

I use press and hold also.

Voice command "audio on/off" works too.

 

I guess I should read the User Guide better. Thanks for the info.

 

There is a certain entertainment value to voice commands, trying to guess what the car will actually do with your command: "Showing sports stadiums", Jill says, but all I wanted was to suspend guidance.

She also thinks "drug stores" is "ski resorts". (The magic word in this case is "pharmacies", not drug stores.)

 

Tried the double click method this morning in my 07. Didn't work. Maybe I'm too slow?

 

You can do it, but it's not pretty.

You have to navigate to the "Audio" screen on the MFD. You can then use the "double-up" arrow on the screen to go forward and the "double-down" arrow on the screen to go backwards (or maybe it's the other way around).

I don't understand why the Toyota engineers didn't just implement what is the obvious thing to me: holding down the track forward and track backward buttons on the steering wheel to move around in the track.

EDIT: Errrr. . . rethinking this, I'm not 100% sure this works for CDs, but I know it works for my iPod with the DICE interface.

 

Same here. All I ended up doing was changing modes. Press and hold works to shut it off, but I was not successful with the double click.

 

Sounds like something that belongs in the "Most Obscure Facts" thread.

Because that action's already implemented for changing discs, which is a pretty nice feature. I use it often. I rarely have a need to fast forward or rewind a song, so the long method described above is a good compromise. (I didn't even know that method even existed!)

 

Ah. OK. That makes sense. I've never encountered this since we have a single-CD player. However, I agree with you; changing disks is something that one would definitely do more frequently than moving around in the track.

 

Would be nice if the fast forward/rewind feature was available from the steering wheel for non 6-disc changer. The buttons are there already.

 

I have voice command too but it only works intermittently.....coincides with the missus being with me........"turn the stereo on there love":tsk:
