Prius T4 Audio Lock Out

[hjt333]

Hi

I've just got a 2006 Prius T4 with 12,000 on the clock (yes that's 12,000 not 120,000 and still has that new car smell!!) and I love the car. Coming from a much loved Ford Galaxy diesel it's very different to drive.

My question is, is there any way to disable the audio lock out on the CD system. I have put in several MP3 discs and it's really annoying to not be able to just select a different track from the list once the car is moving. I know why they've done it, it's to keep your eyes on the road but it's actually more distracting trying to go through the tracks one at a time to find a particular track you want using the track up/down buttons.

My apologies if this has been covered before but I couldn't find it and Google searches only show how to access the navigation lock out which doesn't help with the T4 as it doesn't have Satellite Navigation and therefore no Menu button.

Many thanks
