Mystery sound?

Dang, I didn't know the car had that feature. I'm going to drive my wife nuts with this.

 

Sounds like fun - but remember, I'll be keeping a close eye on you if you come over for another Prius Work Day!

 

I would never see fit to experiment on you Andy. I want to be welcome at your shop, and I would not want Leo mad at me.

I had my own mystery sound to solve. It took a 3rd thump from the back to remember that I put my daughter's soccer ball in the cargo area. That is what the cargo envelope net is good for, when you remember to use it.

@Tanasit; Make sure you press address book, options(top of screen), delete and then select entry to delete. While in-route there is a delete destination button that just deletes the location from the route and stops navigation if it's the final or only destination. Maybe set a new home location to clear that if sound persists.
Mysterious indeed.

 

I don't recommend deleting your location while in-route. I thought that might be what you did and only ended up deleting it from your active route. Sounds like you did everything right.

I just found another way to access & modify the Nav locations from the Nav Owner's Manual via Setup instead of Destination here - http://www.toyota.com/t3Portal/document/omnav/OM47675U/pdf/03-3.pdf

Maybe this will help to delete the home location with sound.

Are you still seeing the sound icon on the Nav screen near home?

 

Hi --- I have the same thing!!! It sounds like a music box, and it's coming from the driver's side console. It is a very distinct little song. Today I heard it THREE TIMES!!!! Before that, I heard it one time as we were taking a long road trip, far from home, driving on the freeway. We thought: "ice cream truck? Kid's toy hidden in the console? did we imagine that sound?"

Well today amazingly it has happened (so far) three times. I have a 2008, it has about 58,000 miles on it. It is so unusual I called my dealer (they'd never heard of it), and I googled it as soon as I came home -- and found this forum talking about it.

The second time today, it occurred shortly after I turned the car on. The third time I was recording with my phone as I turned on the car to catch it, but it didn't happen..... until about 3 minutes later!

I don't think it has to do with location/navigation system, as the first time I heard it was in the middle of a long road trip -- not anywhere I would have set any kind of navigation tag. As for mileage, don't know what t he significance would be of 580000 + about 30-40 miles (and I don't know what it was the first time.)

No other problems or warning lights on the car. In fact, it was just serviced about 3 weeks ago...
Definitely not a cell phone or anything under the seats.

A joke by a Prius engineer????

Would love to find out what this is, and especially what triggers it!

 

UPDATE: It's the nav system's sound alerts indeed.

Looks like I had set up location and it has a sound associated with it... I was indeed close to that location 3 times today (but not on the long roadtrip. who knows why that one happened, but this is a sufficient explanation for me.)

In fact, the sound is even called "Music Box".

Mystery solved!
