Up down up down left left...

Just turned off the annoying reverse beep on the Prius, and the process totally felt like I was entering a video game cheat code. It was amusing enough that I figured I should share. Check it out:

  1. Power on (not necessarily ready, IG-ON will do).
  2. Set Trip/ODO to ODO (if it's already set to ODO, you still have to cycle through the options: ODO, Trip A, Trip B, and back to ODO).
  3. Power off.
  4. Power on to ready (brake on).
  5. Within 6 seconds, press and hold ODO for 10 seconds or more.
  6. WHILE STILL HOLDING ODO *after* 10 seconds, Shift from P to R, then back to P. Now release ODO.
  7. You'll see in the trip display "b on" or "b off".
  8. Press ODO to toggle.
  9. Now power off.
Totally awesome.

Damn! You said it was complicated, but that is so far beyond what I imagined.

Sounds like its time to start trying codes of your own.
Who knows, you could enable ludicrous speed.

Ludicrous speed would be a great feature to unlock, especially if it came in plaid. One thing I'd really like to get is a code that alters the electric/combustion balance to use the electric-only option a little more aggressively.
