I am just so greatly disappointed with Toyota's quality. Prius 2008 Gen 5 9.1 update DVD Navigation Map, North America, U34, 86271-53024, 464210-1380, Data ver.09.1 is one I was looking for and I was able to 'google' it to locate a download. Colored circles printed on the DVD show the specific generation navigation system. I now always depend on my iPhone instead of the Prius GPS. I just tested and successfuly burned and updated my U91 to U92 10.1 dvd from this place Gen 6 DATA ver.10.1 Navigation from a 2011 Avalon DVD Navigation Map NORTH AMERICA U 92 D Toyota Motor Corporation C 2010 DENSQ Corporation C 2009 NAVTEQ C 2010 Tele Atlas North America, Inc. It's because the Prius has no concept of many streets (which I don't even think are that new, but I can find out for sure), so the Prius continually insists on taking me back to freeways, even though I have told it not to take me to freeways. Thats very cheap indeed - and pretty much worth it too - especially if you dont want to stick standalone NAV Units to your windscreen with the accompanying trailing cable. I am not joking and can replicate it for you. Our local dealerships happen to be having upgrade navigation specials at 149 -169. I'm comparing the Maps feature on my iPhone, which takes me DIRECTLY to a location 6.2 miles away, as opposed to the Prius' way of navigating to the EXACT SAME LOCATION, which takes LITERALLY 14.1 miles when following the Prius. I personally don't think it's fair that Toyota charges money for this, especially such an exorbitant amount of money, but I will probably pony up for it just to see if there are any improvements in my area.Īlso, I wish that some of you wouldn't assume things: I actually do NOT know my way around, which is why I'm using the GPS.

A flash-memory based system would have been a fiftieth the size and could be updated more easily, not to mention accessed far quicker.Thanks so much, everybody, for the information on the 11.1 update. I saw a lot of latest Gen 6 U96 14.1 navigation DVD listings popped up on eBay recently, I thought they are just Lexus current special reduced MSRP for 99 until Dec 31st, 2014. NEW 2010 2011 Toyota Prius 2019 Navigation Map Update DVD Gen 6 18.1 U9A. Why did Toyota (Denso, actually) go for a DVD-based system? That adds space and weight, is slow, and adds more mechanical parts that can break down. Were getting close to the end of the life cycle of GPS updates (Toyota just discontinued the Gen 5 map updates 2 years ago - thats for the 2006-2009 Prius). With the stand-alones, on the other hand, Garmin and TomTom and Magellan, and others, are aways trying to one-up each other, because there the choice basically *is* a direct comparison. Why would they bother? It's not like there's any competition-very few people will base a car purchase on the Nav system, and once you've committed to that company, it's either buy it or not (and a lot of people won't know how poor they are compared to the stand-alones). Definitely not worth the extra bucks for the car manufacturer nav systems. Hey folks, Ive just spent an absurd amount of time on this site, with Professor Google, the Yahoo Prius 2G Group, EBay, and various Toyota groups trying to figure out precisely which DVDs are compatible with our Prius. I wonder if any of the car manufacturer will develop a nav UI that has any of the features the portable nav systems have been using for the past 10 years.
