Gen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: MP3 File Size Limitation For USB Drive Audio Playback?
I presently use a 16GB USB drive that has about 240 MB of 2 to 10 MB mp3 files and it works well. The reason I ask is that SirisXM is going to drop my favorite channel (69) and I was thinking of making some large files of audio capture before it goes away. Large because its easier to make and play a few than many. There might be a file size limitation (not USB storage limitation) due to the amount of memory in the audio system.

Is there a special type of thumb drive that I need to use to maximize the use of the USB port in the arm rest? I have a ton of songs on the thumb drive but the stereo only recognizes only 40 of them.

View 11 RepliesGen 3 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: USB Drive Folders Slow Navigation
My biggest convenience complaint is the awkwardness of navigating a large set of music folders on the USB thumb drive I use. The display screen scrolling capability is very slow, even if it were not disabled at any speed. When driving, I have to hold the up or down steering wheel buttons to move between folders one-by-one, which is very slow because I have about a hundred folders. At least it wraps, but if I am on, say, folder 20 and I want to get to folder 60, I have to hold and click the button 40 times.

I just noticed today that I can't switch to Aux in my 2006. I remember using it at some point last week and it has not given me any issues before.
When I tried to switch to aux this morning I hit the CD/Aux button and heard a CD start, so I hit it again. It did not switch from CD to Aux. So I tried hitting the mode button on the steering wheel. It cycled through every single option except for Aux. I tried to turn the car off and on again and my ability to switch to Aux didn't come back.
Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2006 - FM Radio Doesn't Come On Sometimes
I have a 2006 Prius with about 53,000 miles on it. For some strange reason, about 2 times a week there will be no sound at all from the FM radio. The AM radio works, the CD player works, and the AUX in works fine, but complete silence from the FM stations (not even static or a hiss). If I turn the unit off and back on again over and over, the FM will eventually come on and work fine.

Gen 2 Prius (Audio/Electronics) :: 2006 Toyota - AUX Button Not Working All Of A Sudden
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.

I have a 06 JDM prius with hard drive-based audio and navigation system. Today the car was parked in a ready mode with the stereo playing and the audio cut off abruptly. I investigated and found that all of the audio and navigation controls on both the steering wheel and center console were unresponsive. It is impossible to switch between modes I.e. CD, HDD,radio and the CD drive no longer rejects. Bluetooth pairing works but no sound coming from the driver side speaker when in a phone call. When the car is started the MFD shows that it's playing audio from the hard drive as shown below but there's no sound and its impossible to change tracks.

Can Display Audio's phone interface accept pauses or waits (P or W) in the phone number? My phone uses them for voicemail passwords, eg dial the number, pause a few seconds, and then dial the password. So far it does not work at all through the bluetooth interface when initiated through voice command ("call xxx xxx xxxx pp yyyy#") or through the car's screen. I tried to directly store a similar number into the Display Audio "stored" numbers but could not find an option for the P pause.

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.

I've been using MP3 CDs in autos for some years. Now I have a 2014 Prius 4 with whatever audio system is standard in that model. Generally all is good. But there is one odd thing: Whenever I stop the car, or it seems even pause the playback, it seems to restart so as to replay a few minutes I listened to on the last session.
