    hi there
    I have been driving my new Prius 2016 since a few weeks now... and I love it!

    the HUD is very cool, but I wish I could add navigator indications to it... the Youtube toyota USA channel gives nice instructions on how to set it, but unfortunately on my car the only option I see under "Vehicle Settings" is RSA, as well as "Maintainance System", but no HUD



    Any hints anyone?

    thanks
    Sergio

    Some of our European members have mentioned that that feature has been removed in Europe for the new Prius. We don't know why.

    thanks tideland

    it really bothers me when I see that something is possible with software but it is deliberately stopped, for whatsoever reason

    any chance to update to a different software version (i.e. US version)? I guess I would lose warranty though

    On the UK version, you can get the navigation turns to appear on the MFD (but not the HUD) if you set the MFD screen to compass from the menus.
    It only shows after you have set a destination on the Nav.

    That's interesting. Ours will show the turn guidance automatically (if you have the HUD turned off or if your car does not have the HUD) . We don't need to scroll to the compass screen.

    That is the reason why I avoided paying extra money for Nav option.
    Very dumb decision from Toyota Europe. :confused:
