    Does anyone know an *easy* way around the rediculous Toyota decision to keep my mp3 files hidden while I'm going over 5 mph?
    I wonder if they thought about those who might slam their brakes on to see the titles to their songs? :lol:

    According to Coastal's Application Guide, the Lockpick won't work for the 2006, just the 2004-2005.

    You can cut a speed sensor wire and install a switch. This will take care of the BT and radio lockouts. When switched "off" the car thinks it's stopped. You have to switch it back on again when done as that wire also takes care of the the 5-minute bars on the Consumption screen and the wheels of the Energy screen.
