    Had a great time running some errands with the girls this morning. We had a CD in, all 3 of us singing along (a fun family moment fit for a Prius commercial) when #1 daughter claimed it was "Karaoke-enabled." Not sure if that is true or not (or really what that means technology wise), but we decided that what we wanted as a family was the ability to pop in our Karaoke discs into the Prius and have the words pop up on the MFD.

    Any ideas if this is possible? I'm going to send in similar requests to the makezine.com blog, but wanted to check here as well...

    (PS. screw the lawyers and that stupid "I accept" button on the MFD. Long live hackers (or however you 1337 guys say hackers))

    I would guess possible. Look at he Mac in Prius posts. I would guess that you could tease the data out or even play it as a DVD. If it works on a Mac then you can get it to work on your Prius.
    Build Me Up Buttercup:

    Why do you build me up buttercup baby
    just to let me down and mess me around
    and then worst of all you never call baby
    when you say you will
    But I love you still
    I need you more than anyone darling
    You know that I have from the start
    So build me up, buttercup,
    don t break my heart
    I ll be over at ten you told me
    time and a- gain

    But you re late I wait a- round and then
    I run to the door I can t take anymore
    It s not you you let me down again
    (Hey Hey Hey) Baby baby try to find
    (Hey Hey Hey) A little time and I ll make you mine
    (Hey Hey Hey) I ll be home

    I ll be be-side the phone waiting for you
    You are my toy but I could be the boy you adore
    if you just let me know
    Until you do I m attracted to you all the more
    why do I need you so
    Baby baby try to find
    A little time and I ll make you mine
    I ll be home I ll be beside the phone
    waiting for you
