In the Prius 2004 #9, the voice recognition is quite comical (and frustrating). I'm curious, what is the "default" response you get whenever the system just doesn't want to understand you? I would have to say that most of the time, the system displays government offices on the map. How it gets "Government Offices" from me saying "Zoom In" or "Heading Up", I'll never understand. And just when I think I got it, something will happen and she'll not understand a thing I'm saying.
I've actually gone through the entire help menu and typed in what it says I'm supposed to say. Attached is that file for your reference.
So if you're buying a Prius with hopes of having a cool voice recognition vehicle, better wait another 10 years until they get it right. I think it's actually safer for me to push the buttons on the screen rather than get frustrated at having my audio turn off or switch from CD to FM radio when I'm asking it to Zoom out.
However, if you're bored on the road and want some comical entertainment, you can start speaking to your car and see how she responds. Start a new game with the kids - take bets on what she will do when you say "Home".
The GPS, however, is outstanding, once you figure out how to load multiple destinations into it.
Enjoy....
