Prius V w/ Nav IPod Interface Experience ?

I'm trying to track this down as well. I was told at a dealership today that you can't use the IPod adapter in a vehicle with Nav. Apparently there's some conflict with the XM radio. I'd like to get this verified one way or the other. I haven't finished searching the board yet to see if someone else has addressed the issue.

 

I just found this in another thread:http://priuschat.com/forums/gen-iii-2010-prius-main-forum/62770-no-standard-ipod-interface.html

Per stream:
For Prius III - V, there will be a USB / iPod adapter standard with the nav package beginning in September, and available as an upgrade for those model cars purchased prior to September.

There's more info in the thread too.

 

That is the correct info. However, someone with a V and nav posted somewhere that they had had the ipod interface installed. I assume both the XM part and the ipod interface part bot plug into the same port on the back of the head unit, so they gave up their XM. Obviously not a big deal if you don't intend to subscribe anyway.

 

Welcome and congratulations on getting such a great car!

I'm using the bluetooth streaming audio with my iPhone 3G (newly-installed OS 3.0). The sound quality is great. The down side is the only steering wheel controls that seem to work are volume and mode (to select the audio source).

Yep. The iPhone works very well, but with the limitations noted above.

 

i use my i pod all the time, but still have to use control on the ipod itself. not that big a deal for me. now if we had the option to control it via screen interface, that would be cool, but to be honest with ya, i either play podcasts (talk radio, sci- fri, etc) or have it on shuffle, neither requires much user interface

 

My posts regarding the IPod connector that was installed by the Southeast Toyota Distributors in another chain may be useful:

I just got my second Prius a 3 with nav and blue tooth. I plugged the usb port and expected my Ipod to work. Sometimes it does and other times it freezes.......what does one do? Someone told me there are problems with all toyotas and the Nano Ipod

 

I also have a III w/ Nav, using a Nano. The system has worked perfectly for me except for the issue cited by some people that when you scroll, the Ipod begins playing the song you have paused on, in scroll. Not a big deal. Otherwise, the USB port works like a charm.

Now that the 2010 is a year into production, I wonder if Toyota has solved some of the issues that we've seen posted here.

 

Just picked up my new V today and my iPhone running OS 4.0 Beta 1 works great. No problem as you have described. BTW I'm running the OS Beta because I do some iPhone Dev. work.

 

I have no problems w my IV w/ nav interfacing w/ my Ipod touch. However when scroling through the song/artists/albums lists, the highlighted song at the top of each new screen will automaticly begin playing. Very annoying. Anyone have a fix?

 

I am having the same experience, the first song on the top of the new screen plays when scrolling. It is super annoying. If you scroll real fast it wont do this but if you want to read the song titles your out of luck.
Any Fixes?

 

i also have "autoplay" issues when connecting by BT. i stream Pandora from my Droid, but every time i connect BT it starts playing my MP3's on my phone instead. i have to manually press play on the MFD or the phone to start Pandora.

i even shut down the "music" app on the phone first (which sucks because i use the MP3 for alarms, etc. so it stops all that from working) but music automatically re-launches so that did not work either
