I would like to know how I can update my GPS system on my 2008 Prius. It can't find my home which is 6+ years old. Can it be upgraded and if so, how and at what cost?

I was told that it costs about $300 dollars to get your GPS updated and basically they just put a disc in the car. I believe most toyota dealerships can do it for you.

I am told that the toyota prius gps can be programmed so that you can make changes while you are driving. When purchased you can not make changes unless the vehicle is not in motion.

The discs are available in uk for approx £120 dealerships only I think.

When I inquired as to how to update the GPS on a Toyota Prius we were considering to buy, the saleman at a Toyota dealership near our town said it automatically updated by satellite. DUH! Needless to say we did not buy our Prius there. He also told us the tax break was still in effect...this was in December of 2007. You have to really watch out for what you are being told.

yup, you can do it manually. some systems with plug and play or in-dash allows you to update the maps on the system, it is either by loading the new ones into the "built-in memory" or by purchasing updated map discs.

Where or how can you update a Toyota Prius Nav System..do you have to buy from a dealer for $350.00?? Or can they be purchased elsewhere

I was quoted $279.00 by the dealer for a GPS database update CD for my `08 Prius. I have found that my Garmin 350 Street Pilot fits nicely in the cutout for the small window on the dash of the Prius. The database download is much cheaper for the Garmin.

The system sits under the pasenger seat ad is driven by a CD.

You have to buy a new CD for the system.

My Toyota dealership quoted $265 to update the GPS system on my 2006 Prius. Is there any other source to obtain the disks other than the dealer?

When I bought my 2008 Prius I got everything but the gps system. I had a Tom Tom at the time and still do, but I would like to give the Tom Tom to my son and have the GPS Toyota GPS

system installed in the Prius. Can that be done and what is the cost?

Thank you,

Bob

I think the Nav sys is put in at the factory. But forget it!

And updated DVD is worthless. even at 2-year intervals!

The system is unfriendly - been using it for 4+ years. Stick with your Tom Tom, save your $2000 and up-date expenditures.

Love my Prius, hate the Nav system!

I have a 2008 Prius and I went to a junk yard and lucked out and found a 2010 Prius with Nav. I got the DVD (which is a dual layer) for free, the scrap yard did not care. My old NAV DVD was 7.1, this one is 9.1. On my 2008 the DVD is under the drivers seat, on the 2010 it is in the dash behind the radio. Funny thing is, I can read the DVD from the 2010 in my PC, but the car will not read this disk. I even made a copy, without any errors, and it will not read the copy either, but it will always read the 7.1 version. I have heard I need to remove a fuse or something, but I am not sure. The screen says "cannot read DVD", but only on the 9.1 version? Any ideas?
