    I’ve got a 2013 Prius 3 with the factory touchscreen radio. 57032 is the number in the bottom of the radio. I’ve managed to get it stuck in software update mode. Is there a way to get out of this? I can click a button on the side to choose audio type but after a few seconds, the screen turns black and the “in software update mode. Please insert valid software update stick” message pops up.

    Switched to a smaller flash drive and able to load 5.2 update however, after getting update loaded, I no longer have am/fm/xm/cd inputs listed in audio source. I can still access them with the mode button on steering wheel but would like access to them on radio

    Were there any problems before the update?
    Why did you choose the update?
