    gone is rear door tweeter in Three*

    050705 313.jpg

    I had a good listen the base audio, 6 speaker system in the Three. Good CD source, had volume up to 40. How is it?

    2012 Three audio at 40 volume: It's ok, it plays the music, but turn it up, not too much happens - lows, highs, presence and clarity are lacking compared to 2011 JBL. I'm sure it's a good base system to upgrade and maybe surpass the JBL. Forgot to look, but the base system doesn't have the audio amp under front passengers seat in 10/11 JBL.

    10/11 JBL audio at 34 volume, same CD : much stronger lows and highs, more presence, punch and clarity.

    Do you, like, work at Piercey or something? Oo"

    That screen looks like it'd get washed out in sunlight easily.

    I remember some others who have played with it say that too but maybe in the pics the brightness wasn't turned up all that much on the display? It does seem quite a bit more washed out then I remember it looking back in September.

    Sun was behind car. Photography is tricky. They have 'covers' to block sun.

    I like the radio display. It appears one can see their 6 preset buttons and the song name and artist. Amazing!!!! I bet it shows more than 16 characters on the display, too.

    Those two things are the biggest disappointments I have with my Prius.

    Correct me if I am wrong, is the 2012 Nav screen smaller than the 2010/11 screen?

    There are now two screen sizes. A 6.1" which is new and the 7.1" which is what the 2010/11 had but now it has a high res screen. The 7.1" comes with the upgraded system.

    You can visit this link to see the difference between the Display Audio with navigation and entune and the Premium HDD navigation and entune:

    The red and blue buttons would be temperature adjustment (up/down) for the climate control.
