Toyota Prius Navigation Speed Lock Override (Camry Hybrid and Prius)

V1V or V3V for both vehicles. I don't have any installation instructions for the Camry. However, the Camry uses the same speed signal as the Prius. I think the 2012 Camry also uses the same plug as the 2012 Prius.

 

I just got a 2012 Prius 3. How hard is it to put in the Navigation override package? Is it doable as a weekend mechanic? Does it void any warranties? How much is it?

 

The override is made to as install friendly as possible. You can download the installation instruction and see for yourself if you can tackle the installation. I can do the install in 20-30 minutes but that's just me.
The Magnuson-Moss warranty act of 1975 made it illegal for auto manufacturers to void a warranty because the vehicle owner added after-market products. Auto manufacturers have to repair the vehicle UNLESS they can prove the problem was caused by an after-market part.
Bottom links in my signature can answer more of your questions.

 

I'm considering getting this model for a Prius V 5 -- where are the instructions you refer to that I can download in advance? Also, the description online says "the switch for the override installs into any of the available 'blanks' that you have in your dash." What does that mean? I'm not sure I have any... Finally, what is the difference between the on-off model and the on-off-timed model (besides $50)?

Thanks for all your help!

Costaltech makes plugin and play override for the 08. Override FAQ 2010-2012 Prius Installation instruction If you're looking for plug and play, I suggest Prestigious Society. Their plug and play bypass is $309.99. The V1 override for 2012 6.1" screen is $80 and The V1V override for 2012 7" screen is $100.

Read the Override FAQ
Blanks are blank covers for switches that not are not installed in your vehicle. For example, Parking assist, solar fans, and heated seats require a push button to activate them. Since not all Prii came with those options, the push button switch is replaced by a blank filler panel. If you know of a better word to describe it, please let me know.
I have not installed the override in a Prius v so I don't have any instructions. However, once you've remove the nav display, the plugs should be the same as the 2012 standard Prius.

 

if you ordered the override, please check with [email protected] because I didn't get any orders today.

 

Just curious... why is this switched and not permanent?

 

Permanent bypass would render the map screen and navigation useless because the position would be stopped.

 

Bummer. Figured it was something like that. I like my Audi that leaves all nav and entertainment fully functional at all speeds. Too bad it can't be disabled permanently.

 

I just installed Prestigious Society's kit on my 2012 Sienna (as well as their AV input system). The kit works great and is 100% plug and play. Their system for the 2012 Prius (and Camry) now no longer has a switch and instead using the volume controls to activate and deactivate the system. I wish they have the non-switch system for my Sienna but I hide the switch anyways.

 

I just installed the V1 on my Prius Plug-In Advanced. Ordered from the PC store and manufactured by CPROAudio.

Worked like a charm and was a very professional assembly. Instructions were straight forward. Delivery from the store was timely too.

Thanks guys for a great product!
