    <_< I just got my net Prius a little over a week ago and have found this site very useful. Anyhow, with virtually no description of the stereo/CD player in the owner’s manual I am left with many questions. My two biggest ones right now are:
    1. is there a place where you can get a real manual on how to use all of the features that this system holds.
    2. why does the cd screen come up with an info line if it never gives you info, am I doing something wrong, is there a way to get the info in their?
    Thanks for your help!

    Do you have the basic system with single CD, or the package with the 6-disc changer? Sorry I don't have any info for you at the moment, but just wanted to say, "welcome!" (greenrev, me too!)

    Since you list pkg #5, I'm guessing you have the 6-CD Changer. Which feature were you interested in? I thought the manual did an OK job of explaining the sound system and I was able to access all the functions I needed.

    The info. screen depends on the CD. If the title and track info is burned to the CD then it's displayed on the MFD. I've only had one such CD though. Most of the time there's no info displayed.

    That explains it, it is the CD's. At least I'm not doing something wrong. I guess I was thinking the system did more "secret/insider functions" but I guess it is just straight foward. Grated I am still in the mode where I'm afraid of breaking the thing.

    Thanks!

    If your radio has the "MP3/WMA" symbol on the lower right then you can play CD's you burn yourself.
    If you burn CD's with the Artist & title information included, then you'll see it on the screen.
    Regards
