Is there any real reason to have the calender? I keep wondering if I am missing something. Does it do anything other than tell me what day and date it is? It seems like I should be syncing my other "real" calenders with it. Is anyone doing anything with this feature? anyone using the USB port with it? How I do not know-but someone out there might have a great idea.... Thanks
I haven't played with the calendar, but, according to the Navigation Owner's Manual, it is just a simple calendar. I don't have any idea what use it is, since you apparently cannot store events in the calendar. I suppose you could look at the calendar to find out what the current date is. I usually look at my watch for that information.
Did anyone make any progress with this? I just purchased my Prius this evening and besides the scary HAL 2000 like actions of the recognition of my contacts by name without any voice training, I have to say that I am slightly let-down if it is simply a basic Calendar. Ideally, I would like to sync my iphone Calendar that is sync'd up with my Outlook on the Prius so I am on the same page.
Two years ago I would've said it's pointless because you can just look at your phone, but that has changed with the hands-free law. It should do way more than that in the future though, such as being able to enter a destination address on our phone and have it synced to the NAV once we get in the car.
I haven't found any other uses other than a basic calendar. I thought you go add memos but I guess not.
My previous car (Acura) let me add memos to the calendar. The Prius calendar has no functionality beyond telling you what day it is. You can enter a few reminders into the Maintenence section though. There are a few custom reminders that you an program to tell you anything you choose.
