Disabling Safety Warning at start-up

Hmm, I've never seen it in my '07. Does it have Navigation?

 

Yes, this is the message you get on the navigation screen.

You can:

a) Buy a Version 7.1 DVD to replace your Version 6.1 DVD. It will replace the "I agree" screen with a different screen that will dismiss itself after about 3 sec. That is what I did. I bought a used DVD taken out of a 2008 Prius.

b) Coastal Tech sells a device called Lockpick which is supposed to automatically "press" the "I Agree" button for you. It does this in software, I believe. I don't have direct experience with this device. I think it goes for about $100. Coastal Tech has kind of a spotty record for customer service, so I was hesitant about buying from them.

c) If you already have a 7.1 DVD, you may be able to burn a copy for your 07 Prius. This, of course would violate copyright, but if you search, you will find others that have done it.

 

i was under the impression that a 2007 prius will run the 7.1 nav dvd without any kind of modication to the disc layout, and it was older prius cars that needed the dvd changed.

theres nothing there to justify a service fee, you just buy the $300 disc and pop it in the drive, i think

 

My recollection is that the 7.1 DVD from an 08 Prius will work for the 06 & 07 Prius, but not for the earlier Nav systems. I think some people have figured out how to make a "hybrid" DVD for earlier systems.

I bought a used DVD from C. Rickey Hirose; see here.

I believe the list price for a new DVD is somewhere around $250. Edit: Rickey says $300 in the other thread.

Yes, you eject the old DVD from the slot by removing the NAV ECU cover (under the drivers seat, push seat all the way forward to see the cover). Then slide the eject button over to the left to eject the DVD. Put the new DVD in the slot and return the button and cover to previous position.
