We know they've been busy, but glad to see that they're still working on it!

What do you suppose that means?

From another thread, it sounds like something that would indicate whether you're using regenerative braking, or actually using the brake pads.

Those are the two biggies for me. Now, if the latter can be done without voiding the warranty...

Tells you when you are putting your foot on the gas or the brake?

Coastal Dave's mod will be the same as far as warranty as if you do it yourself. Only when Toyota puts this out in the US cars and offers it as a dealer mod will you be 100% protected.

In any case, I think that unless you do something completely wrong you'd have some strong arguments against it being a warranty violation.

Looks like Dave's almost there! There's a tab on the 2004 Prius page for the Brake/Engine Run Indicator Kit. Nothing behind the link yet....

Well, now ecoastaltech has links with photos of the brake/run indicator and the EV switch....

hmm, dunno if I like where the display is for the brake/run indicator - hopefully there's another place to put this so it doesn't constrict the already tight view out of that extra window?

You're joking right, you actually try to look out that little window? I absolutely can't see through it at all....I didn't really think it was intended to be viewed through, but rather to allow more light in and to break up the lines of what otherwise would have been a VERY thick column there.

Now, I do, generally, agree with you that I'd like a better location...maybe over by the speedometer (just above on that lip) or even just behind the steering wheel.
