Beeps backing up and ?jpegs on touch screen?

Just got a new package 6 2004 Prius, ordered it in mid May. Enjoying it. Some questions: is there any way to turn off the reverse gear beeping?

Also, is it possible to upload some of my own images to the touch screen? I'm rapidly tiring of the boring graphics....

Many thanks.

Yes.

  1. Power on the car to READY.
  2. Using the Trip/ODO button, set the Trip/ODO display to ODO (not Trip A or Trip B) If it is already set to ODO, you don't have to change it and set it back. If it is already on ODO, you can skip steps 3 and 4.
  3. Power off the car.
  4. Now power the car to READY (brake on). This is required so that step
6 works correctly.
  1. Within 6 seconds of powering on, press and hold the Trip/ODO button for 10 seconds or more. If you miss this time window, go back to step 1.
  2. WHILE STILL HOLDING ODO *after* the 10 seconds, shift the "gear" selector to R, then press the P button. Now release the Trip/ODO button.
  3. If the last step was successful, "b on" or "b off" should be displayed in the location where the Trip Odometer or Odometer is normally displayed. "b on" is beep on, and "b off" is beep off.
  4. Press Trip/ODO to toggle the mode.
  5. Now power the car off to exit the toggle mode.
  6. Power the car on to READY and confirm the reverse beep status by shifting to R. The beep should not be audible if "b off" was selected, and should be audible if "b on" was selected..

If you ever figure out how to do that, please let us know.

Instructions for disabling reverse beep. Works only on US & Canadian models:

  1. Power on the car to IG-ON or READY. IG-ON will do for this purpose.
  2. Using the Trip/ODO button, set the Trip/ODO display to ODO (not Trip A or Trip B)
  3. Power off the car.
  4. Now power the car to READY (brake on). This is required so that step 6 works correctly.
  5. Within 6 seconds of powering on, press and hold the Trip/ODO button for
10 seconds or more.
  1. WHILE STILL HOLDING ODO *after* the 10 seconds, shift the "gear" selector from P to R, then back to P. Now release the Trip/ODO button.
  2. If the last step was successful, "b on" or "b off" should be displayed in the location where the Trip Odometer or Odometer is normally displayed. "b on" is beep on, and "b off" is beep off.
  3. Press Trip/ODO to toggle the mode.
  4. Now power the car off to exit the toggle mode.
  5. Power the car on to READY and confirm the reverse beep status by shifting to R. The beep should not be audible if "b off" was selected, and should be audible if "b on" was selected..

Note: The Repair manual page states that if the the 12v battery is disconnected, the beep will reset to the default of on, and this procedure will need to be performed again. The repair manual also isn't clear that Trip/ODO should remain depressed while shifting.

Additional Note: The driver and passenger seatbelt reminder chime can be disabled or enabled (respectively, defaults appear to be driver on and passenger off) using similar steps. Instead of shifting from P to R to P in step 6, simply buckle then unbuckle the appropriate seatbelt while continuing to depress the Trip/ODO button.

Also, is it possible to upload some of my own images to the touch screen? I'm rapidly tiring of the boring graphics....

Many thanks.
