![]() Trust me, you do NOT want to brick the Touch and Go when doing this. If I was being really paranoid (and I'm afraid I am when it comes to doing this upgrade now) then I'd sit in the car and make damned sure it stayed in Ready mode by switching things on and off to keep it thinking it needed to keep powered up. As a failsafe I'd turn the heater on, just to be absolutely certain the car doesn't shut down part way through the upgrade. I can confirm that not only does the car have to be in "Ready" mode, but if it's a PiP then it also has to have the charge lead unplugged and the charge door closed, and have eco and EV mode switched OFF (by default the PiP starts in Eco and EV mode normally, irrespective of the mode it was in when turned off). I just hope that in future, Toyota provide a facility for selecting which map updates are needed - I don't see myself taking the car across Europe, so I'd have been happier just updating the UK map. (unless, of course, you have a memory stick just for doing software updates! I don't - I bought a 32GB USB for the car - to do map updates AND to hold my iTunes library).Īs mentioned above, I've copied a 23GB iTunes library onto a USB stick - the car has no trouble handling this (claims to be able to see about 1100 different music tracks). The car takes time mounting and reading the ISO file whenever it starts (just in case there are any new updates) - so I'd recommend, once you've done the update, copying the ISO file from the USB stick and onto your computer and deleting it from the USB. Bear in mind that it takes several hours to download 4GB if you only have a 2MB internet connection.Īfter the map update, the toolbox decided that it had further updates to apply (quick download this time, and not much to load) HOWEVER this seems to put an ISO file onto the USB (swdl.iso) - this is a disk image that contains any software updates for the car. Fortunately the Toyota Toolbox software was keeping track of how much had downloaded, so did not start from the beginning again at each restart (though this could have been because I'd ticked the "advanced option" for "keep download cache"). When I re-mounted the USB, the toolbox software insisted that "Something has changed" and so I had to repeat the download from the car (which seems to take ages!). To do the update, you first have to download details from the car onto your USB stick.ĭuring the download, for some unknown reason, the USB stick dismounted from my laptop so the download stopped (three times!!). ![]() Just applied the update to my new Prius Gen 3 T-Spirit.
