Toyota Prius Navigation Dvd Update - 2010

Updating the navigation DVD in a 2010 Toyota Prius is widely considered only worth it at low prices

  • Cost: parts + professional installation can be expensive.
  • Loss of OEM look and some vehicle-integrated features (steering wheel controls may need adapters).
  • Requires dash trim modifications or installation kits for a clean fit.

The Process

  1. Turn the car ON: Put the Prius in “READY” mode (green car light on dash). Do not put it in “ACC” or “IG-ON” mode. The engine will cycle on and off to charge the hybrid battery, which maintains the 12V battery.
  2. Disable Auto Power Off: The 2010 Prius has a feature that shuts off accessories after 20 minutes. To override this, while in READY mode, press the “DISP” button on the steering wheel or dash to keep the screen awake. Some models require you to go into “Setup” > “Vehicle” > “Auto Power Off” and set it to “Off” (temporarily).
  3. Eject the old DVD: Press the eject button on the map DVD slot. Remove the ancient disc.
  4. Insert the new DVD: Gently push the new update disc in. The screen will say “Reading DVD” then “Update” or “Copy map data to HDD.”
  5. Confirm the update: It will warn you not to turn off the car. Press “Yes.”
  6. Wait (45-60 minutes): A progress bar will appear. This is where most people fail. Do not touch the brakes, do not open doors, do not shift out of Park. If the car goes to sleep or the door is opened, the update cancels.
