Hi everybody, I'll having my Prius in a very short time! I'm really super excited for the vehicle! It's truly something else. I've actually got two questions not really answered by my dealer: 1. Is it possible to change the startup screen? It shows Toyota Prius right now and I would have my own logo on the screen. 2. What is the calendar functionality in the menu? Can I sync my MS Smartphone to the calendar? That would be a great function! If not, what is the function for? Love to hear the answer! Regards, Hugo Leijtens
Hi Hugo... and WELCOME to a superior source of Prius information. I have been on PriusChat for over a year and never seen any hint that you could change the MFD (Multifunction Display) signon screen. You might want to search the site on "MFD" Suggestion: Go to "Control Panel" on the "Navigation Window" (upper left) - Select "Control Panel" - then enter your profile information. It is always helpful when responding to a question to know where you are geographically. You can also enter a "Signature" and enable it and post an avatar (favorite photo edited to the correct size) if you want.
The calendar allows you to put in a memo on a date, including a destination. When you start the Prius on that date, it will tell you that there's a memo for you and gives you a button to push. When you do it will show you the memo. I don't think you can sync it with anything. I keep stuff in there that I would forget (like taking old car batteries in to recycle in January). I forget the pages, but the manual shows what you can do with that.
Wow... I just love people who are so enthousiastic about a subject! This whole forum is filled with passion about this car! Thanks for the quick replies. I was hoping to integrate my personal agenda with that agenda, but as I understand that's not what it is for. Just updated my profile by the way I will search the forum to see if it is possible to change the MFD for I very much would like the company brand for startup!
I just uploaded my Dell Axim calendar to my Prius MFD*. It looks like this: Monday Recycle Save the Planet Spread the Word Tuesday Recycle Save the Planet Spread the Word Wednesday Recycle Save the Planet Spread the Word . . . *No I didn't
With the satellite nav system, I'm not sure why they wouldn't do satellite date & time. And satellite weather, for that matter. At least that might make a nice option.
Actually I think they do. The calendar didn't need to be set up and there's a set up screen that has GMT.
