2010 prius signal mirrors

[Tideland Prius]

Err... ok. Demanding won't get you anywhere. Just because your dealer doesn't have any brochures doesn't mean we're all lying or that Toyota sucks. The car isn't even out yet. Dealers usually order them a week before the cars are scheduled to arrive. Heck, up here, they don't arrive til AFTER the car is in the showroom sometimes.

In every society there are those that can't act in accordance with the general rules of society. Here, we have a person who is impatient, impulsive and unable to express their point of view without shouting. A true lack of maturity.

I can't get it when I want; therefore Toyota is going the way of GM...blah blah blah.

These forums should probably have a minimum maturity level.

Sounds a bit harsh the poor guy probably just posted before he realised he had caps lock on. I have done before as I am not a secretary I look at keyboard rather than screen when writing. I hope he doesn't think we are a bit uppety and if you are still here good luck in finding out what you wanted to know.

"THEY SEEM A BIT ON THE UPPTY SIDE."

I have a vision in my head of the OP in the dealer. In this vision he is an older gentleman. He approaches the dealer experience with fear and trepidation. That fear manifests itself in paranoia. All that he experiences in the dealership is magnified. Small, insignificant things are magnified and blown out of proportion.

When he inquires about the brochures and is told they have none yet, he doesn't simply ask when they are expected, his fear and paranoia and general way about him come out in a confrontational rant directed at the poor salesman who is the bearer of the news.

The staff in the dealership within earshot are alerted by the behavior to the presence of unusual person. Senses are heightened and staff is ready to react quickly should the customer go too far. The rant is over in several minutes and the customer stomps out of the dealership mumbling something about jeeps.

1. MAKE SIGNAL MIRRORS AVAILABLE THROUGH THE DEALER.

Signal Mirrors are currently available from Sigma Automotive for $199 per pair.

Wow- Most excellent. When I do buy a 2010 I will order the turn signal mirrors the same day I buy the car. I have these on my '05 and I love them. Traffic in the SF Bay Area is pretty heavy and anything one can do to make their car more visible when driving and changing lanes the better.

But how do you install them? Is the turn signal wiring already in the door so you just plug the new mirror's electrical in or do you have to run new wiring? The labor on that would make this cost much more than $199.

Yeah I'm waiting eagerly for someone to post who bought these and how the install was. I notice it said the harness may be included... 'MAY' If its not I am sure this can become more trouble than it's worth. Otherwise swapping out the old one with the new one shouldn't be too bad... It's the wiring if it's not there, no harness etc.

I KEEP READING THAT THE PRIUS BROUCHERS ARE AVAILABLE. WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALER THREE TIMES, NOTHING. SO I CALLED TOYOTA. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BROUCHERS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL MID MAY. SOMEONE IS GIVING ME THE RUN AROUND.

I HAVE PURCHASED JEEPS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, LOVE THEM HAD NO TROUBLE WITH THEM OR THE DEALER. BUYING A PRIUS WOULD BE MY FIRST PURCHASE OF AN IMPORT.

SO FAR I AM NOT IN THE LEAST IMPRESSED WITH TOYOTA'S LACK OF RESPONSE TO MY INQUJIRIES. THEY SEEM A BIT ON THE UPPTY SIDE. TOYOTA BE CAREFUL, PRIUS SALES FOR APRIL WERE DOWN 61%. YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO ANTAGONIZE YOUR CUSTOMERS.

Not directly related to signal mirrors, but side turn signal lights on the Prius.

I would have certainly preferred signal mirrors as standard or optional. Do not want to spend the $$$$$$$ for aftermarket mirrors even if the connector is in the door for install. So opted for an alternative, as shown in this thread - for those interested:
