Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2005 - Steering Wheel Control Button Won't Working
My 05 has a problem with the recirculate and defrost buttons on the wheel. The recirculate button will sometimes toggle the MFD between the consumption screen and the energy monitor screen like the info button does and won't change the recirculate light on the dash at all. Sometimes it will do nothing, and other times it works normal changing from outside air to recirculate. Also the defrost button will sometimes turn on the windshield defroster with 1 push then turn on the rear defroster with a second push and both will go off on the 3rd push.
Other times both defrost buttons will do nothing or work normally. When the wheel buttons are acting up the MFD will control both the recirculate and defrost functions normally so I don't think the MFD is the problem. The 12 volt battery has been checked and is good at 12.4 volts and there is no malfunction lights or codes set in the system. All the other buttons on the wheel function normally. What to check?
Gen 4 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Audio System To Reboot Itself By Pressing Power Button?
I Learned on a Toyota Avalon web page that you can force your audio system to reboot itself by pressing the power button for three seconds. On the Avalon, it only works on the "Limited" levels. I tried it tonight on my Prius Four and it worked. Great to use when your audio gets "confused" and you just want to clear it and start over.

07 Prius, 6 speaker NON-JBL.
This happened a couple of weeks ago and then again. ALL the buttons on my steering wheel work, AC, Temperature, Defrost, Recirculation etc , except Audio. ( Dash audio functions work fine! )
The last time, restarting the car and the functions came back to life.
Is there some kind of official "reboot" process for the computers?
Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: FM No Longer Receives Any Signal Just Hisses

I'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.

View 5 RepliesGen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Voice Recognition Button Won't Work
I have a 2012 Prius III and from the time I bought the car I have been having ongoing multimedia system and voice activation problems. I have taken it into the dealer numerous times, and they often say they were unable to duplicate the problems (so I started recording the issues with my iphone!). The third time I took it in with the videos in hand, they agreed to replace the multimedia unit...unfortunately, the problems persisted. They are outlined below.
1. Voice Recognition button doesn't work about 50% of the time. When pressed, it displays "Voice Recognition Not Available"
2. When plugging in my iPod, the multimedia system will often reboot
3. The touch screen buttons sometimes do not work (may 25% of the time, and only some buttons, not all of them, and they are different every time)
4. When my iPod is plugged in and I navigate to the playlist, the wrong songs will be in the playlist.
5. When plugging in my ipod, the screen will just load and load and load....forever...until I unplug it and plug it back in from the center console plug (not from the iphone side).
Turning my car off, then back on often resolves the problems.
Prius V (Audio/Electronics) :: 2013 - Bluetooth Connects And Works Then Stops After A Couple Minutes
This happened several times on my way home today.
Car: 2013 Prius v Three
Symptom: Bluetooth connects and works but then stops after a couple minutes. The Bluetooth Settings screen indicates "Bluetooth Off" at this point but will not turn back on if I press the button that should toggle it. All other options on the settings screen are dimmed out.
Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: Stereo Power / Volume Button Popped Out
Strange occurrence the other day that I have not been able to remedy. The volume/power button that can pop in & out on the dashboard hadn't been used of late but when I went to depress it, the button popped out. It is spring loaded and the knob itself has an end that is cut into quarters - persumably to fit into the female end within the JBL stereo unit itself. But can't figure out how to get it to stay in place as it continues to pop back out. Volume & power functions still work but button/knob won't stay in.

I always listen to my Ipod in the car, but about a month ago the AUX button doesn't do anything when I press it the button is like this [CD AUX] but when I press the AUX side aux mode doesn't come on, but the CD side works. I took those plastic wheel trims off , it looks way better. I was looking on here and found out how to get into system check mode on the display and it gave me these codes for the radio, can't figure out what they mean though.

View 19 RepliesGen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2010 - MAP Button On Navigation System Changes Radio Station?
In June my Grandfather picked up a used 2010 Prius (not exactly sure what trim package it is? I think it's IV? It has heated front seats, voice activation, bluetooth, navigation, XM radio, NO sunroof though)
He honestly doesn't like the car that much, I don't think he knew about the "PWR" button that would make the gas pedal behave more like a standard throttle, but he is away on a trip right now so I am borrowing the car. I love it, and I'm going to show him the "PWR" mode when he gets back and see if that changes his opinion of the car.
ANYWAY I noticed when driving it that pressing the MAP button doesn't actually make the map display and instead changes the radio station? I did some searching and found that this may actually be a known flaw although from my searching it doesn't look like Toyota has addressed this?
I'm guessing the car is probably out of the original manufacturers warranty? Not sure if there might have been some sort of warranty from when he purchased the car pre-owned? I definitely plan to talk to him about this when he gets back because it is very annoying to not be able to switch back to the map easily. The only ways I have figured out to work around this is use the voice activation and say "show map" or to press the "DEST" button, choose a destination, and then delete that destination and then it shows the map.
Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2009 - 12V Battery Died Second Time This Year - AM / SAT Button Not Working?
I have a 2009 with the iSimple Gateway installed. For the second time this year, my 12v battery died after the car was driven very lightly for about 6 weeks (taken out for 20 minutes or so once a week), and now nothing happens when I hit the AM/SAT button. It never changes from AM. How to keep the battery from dying in the future, and how to make the audio system recognize the SAT function again?

I have a 2002 Hyundai Accent. The press button inside the car no longer works so the A/C has been stuck ON for some time now. I don't live in a hot area so going without A/C wouldn't bother me too much. Is there an easy (read cheap) way to simply turn off the A/C from under the hood? My brother says he wants to remove the A/C belt but his knowledge of cars is often dicey. Might fix the problem, might blow up the car.
