I personally find the voice commands more distracting, and I also hate reaching for a button, going from 0 to 2 MPH, and then seeing the options all greyed out.

View 24 RepliesOne random day the back light on my 10 Prius III touch screen went out, so can't use features effectively. Screen does a QuickFlash when I turn the car on and most of the functions work on screen when I get lucky enough to touch the right spot. Radio works. CD check! Nav works, just can't really see it. Warranty is long past expiration.
View 2 RepliesMy 2010 Prius' touchscreen went from working perfectly fine one day to not working the next. When I try to tap one of the virtual buttons, it will trigger something else, leading me to believe it is misaligned somehow. Anything I can do without having to take it into the dealer or purchase something new?
View 7 RepliesFor the second-generation Prius : I was wondering if there is some way to make the screen stay on the mode that you are in and not switch back to consumption/ energy by itself all the time? For example you push audio to see the radio station info or the CD track info and it will stay in audio mode until you change it. Or if you want it to stay in climate mode and not Have it change back to energy/consumption after about five or 10 seconds.
View 2 RepliesWe religiously wear seat belts on the road. BUT, on my 4WD Tacoma, driving around a farm they are not needed. Can you simply unplug the underseat sensor to defeat the annoying chime and yet not disable the airbag system?
View 3 RepliesI've been noticing some issues with the touchscreen on my 2007 Gen2. Sometimes when I touch the screen, the unit doesn't respond. Other times, I need to touch slightly above the area I am supposed to touch in order to get the correct response. It doesn't happen all the time, but more than just occasionally. I asked my local dealership about it and they say the screen probably needs to be replaced. I've also heard that perhaps recalibrating the screen could work.

How to disable the 12v DC-DC converter or what fuses I can remove besides the fusible link in the fuse box? I cant even find a writeup on how to remove that fuse...
View 19 RepliesI have a new 2015 Camry SE (Without the premium Audio) and yesterday drove from Ohio to Florida and during our trip the TouchScreen would "go out"/lock up/freeze (whatever you'd like to call it) about 5 times. When the touch screen goes out, all the audio controls would also go out. This means all the audio controls on the dash AS WELL AS all the audio controls on the steering wheel.
In order to fix the issue, you need to turn the car off, then start it back up again. Once doing that, everything will work anywhere from a few minutes to hours. I was wondering, I was going through the options on the screen and found an "update software" option, but was unsure how to actually check for an update.
I've had my 2015 SFS for a month and have been using Siri on my iPhone to send texts with no problem. Then yesterday, after doing just that, the cars touchscreen was frozen on the phone. I couldn't switch back to music, couldn't exit out of phone, couldn't use the cars voice activation. Nothing! Only went away after I shut off the car and opened my door.
I thought it was a one time glitch...but nope. Just happened again today. I had to pull over during my commute to work and shut the stinkin car off!!!
i have a 04 f250 cc short box 6.0 and im installing a 7" indash dvd/radio player along with a 9" universal monitor, 12" kicker sub, and amp.
my question is i have matched up all the speaker wires no problem power ground and illumination wires good.
now on my ford end of my harness i still have a pink wire a black/green wire and a red/black wire.....what are these wires for?
I've owned a 2014 Prius Four (not IV, Roman numerals were for model year 2010) w/o Nav for just about a year now. I've encounter this mysterious condition three times now where when I turn on my car, all I see on the front displays are the READY light on the far left and the mini-display that shows the shift pattern.
* Both the speedometer/fuel gauge display on the left of the shift pattern display and the "Hybrid status" display on the right of the shift postion display are OFF.
* The car operates normally (it's not in a limp-home mode).
When I first encountered this issue and reported it to my local dealer, they suggested I take a video of it with my smartphone. I did so the car (and a copy of the video) is now at the dealership.
The second and third times this issue came up, I took videos and did some additional testing.
- When these two displays are OFF, there is no backlight to the climate control LED display underneath the stereo...
- I normally drive the car with the headlamps in "AUTO" mode. When you shift the headlamp switch to "DRL off", the two missing displays automatically power on. In any other position (Auto, corner marker lamps only, or headlamps ON position) the two displays in question turn off.
- The issue isn't with me accidentally turning the dimmer switch too low. When the dimmer switch is set to max low and the dash light sensor is covered (emulating complete darkness outside), all three displays on the dash (including the shift position display) are barely visible/look off. As the service advisor saw in my video, that's not the case.
This is clearly a safety issue ("you cannot tell how fast you are going" and "you cannot tell easily how much gas you have left without going through the infotainment display) so for now the dealership at least seems to be on my side in that something needs to be repaired. The good news is that now that the issue has been documented in my service history, they did comment that it will get fixed eventually even if the issue comes back after test. For now, the dealership is stumped so they asked Toyota for guidance on what parts to try replacing.
The touchscreen for radio, navigation, etc. stopped working. Completely locked up. My truck is a 14 with less then 3000 miles.
View 9 RepliesSo I've been driving around with ESP switched OFF which basically only turns off ASR and slightly dumbs down stability control. What I used to think was turbo lag was the damn ASR! It's like I've got a whole new power band that was stolen by the traction control system. What a joke! Who needs traction control when you've got 4motion?
Is there any way to permanently disable the ASR? Stage 1 is so much better without it. I had to pull a U-turn in the rain on an empty back street today and from a stop, I whipped an 180 from rear end wheelspin. It was awesome. Stage 1 has crazy torque.
I am considering a few different Touaregs with different options. Two near the top of my list happen to have the nav system. One thing I noticed when I test drove a car with the nav is that every time I powered the car on, I had to dismiss a warning on the nav screen. This looks to be really annoying, especially since the UI for the radio is on the same screen.
View 1 RepliesI searched Vortex and Googled for quite a while, and already ran through VCDS for a good half hour, but I can't seem to find the option to disable the beep when we lock the car. I have a 2014 1.8T Wolfsburg.
Based on some of the other threads, it looks like it may have been possible to disable it via VCDS in previous years. However, the option is gone for me when I go in now, and I'm wondering if it's no longer possible?
Let me start off by saying I have removed the TFL pin and I am doing it on the euroswitch. But the suckers still keep coming here is the catch I have Xenons installed on my car and the bulbs are not the cheapest to replace. I installed the Xenons from an audi TT. Also if I need a VAG computer or tech I got acces to that too.
View 2 RepliesOn the MKVI Golf, is there a way to disable the DRL logo in the dash without having the DRLs off? I don't mind the headlights turned on....but the logo in the dash bugs me.
View 5 RepliesI've got a 2012 base model Golf. The key fob does not work and I have to lock the car manually. The issue is when I unlock the car, the alarm goes off. Quite annoying in early morning hours or in full parking lots with people staring at me. I'm looking to either disable the honking portion of the alarm, or just completely disable it.
View 4 RepliesMy 2013 Jetta lease goes back to the dealer tomorrow. There was absolutely no way to disable the daytime running lights with VCDS. Yanking the bulb was the only way to disable them. Luckily, yanking the bulbs didn't present a light bulb error on the dashboard, so I was fine with that.
I will be getting a 2015 Passat to replace the 2013 Jetta and was wondering if it is possible to disable the daytime running lights with VCDS? If so great!
If not, does yanking the bulb present a light bulb error on the dashboard?
