    So I have traded in a 2015 Prius 3 for a 2017 Prius 3 touring blizzard pearl. I very much like the improvements across the board.

    I really like the performance and graphics upgrades of the touch screen, but it seems less functional overall than my 2015 Prius 3 navigation(with the small resistive touchscreen and entune, not premium).

    For example on that system I could go to navigation, choose Contacts, and it would show all the contacts from my phone that had addresses. Click the contact and go. I could also use the voice recognition to say "navigate to Carl's house" and it would go.

    This system does not even seem to transfer contacts addresses at all.

    One other question, is there any way to do a "search along route". With the old system I could navigate to my dads house and then "search along route" for ATMs and it would show me the ones that were the least deviation from my route(usually some somewhere on the route itself).

    1) Yes, it's odd - I've noticed the same, the Contacts button is greyed out occasionally, but not all the time. Last time I noticed it, I hadn't started driving, pulled my phone out of my pocket, hit the dial screen - and the contacts list appeared on the PRIUS screen - so I took over that way. Later the same day, it worked fine again. I don't make many calls, so I'm not an expert on it - someone who phones a lot might have worked out the solution.

    [ 2) - sorry I don't have Navigation]

    Since you traded in the 2015, please update your profile.

    There is an "along route" option in the nav. I think you have to be stopped to access that feature.
