    I have an 07 Prius with the JBL mp3-compatible 6-disc changer audio system.
    I burn my mp3 discs in iTunes and usually fill them to capacity (about 180 songs).
    When I'm stopped, the touch screen can display all sorts of details--scrolling lists of folders, artist, album, song, etc. As soon as I start moving, I can no longer display this info.
    Is there any way to get this info while moving?
    Thanks.

    Yes. Do a search on Speed Sensor Defeat.

    There is no standard way to do it. As pointed out above, you can hack the system to do it, if you don't mind cutting wires and such.

    Funny how they took that feature out. You can see the details on an 04 or an 05 Prius.

    In my 07 you can see the Folder and Track title, but not the Folder List.

    BTW, do we know if this restriction has been moved forward to the G3?

    Nobody @ PCD got to drive the G3, so it's hard to give any impressions of what's restricted now while driving and what isn't. However, given Toyota's stance on safety, I'd safely assume this "annoyance" did carry over.
