I'm in Colorado. When I tried to build a Prius IV, it required the Solar/Nav package. The Prius III allowed a choice of Solar/Nav or not. Is this something to be concerned about? I want 3 door SKS/Leather but not Nav.

Door sill install instructions were up on TIS when I did my download last week. The install process is rather trivial - it involves a couple of T-connectors on a wiring harness on each end, then routing wiring.

It's already becoming clear that certain regions are only allowing specific combos. Despite there being 10+ flavors of Prius, each region will only get specific combos.

Looks like eBrocure is available too.

The lower rocker molding takes a cue from the Lexus hybrids... I kind of like it but want to see a picture of it on the full in full view, not just at the bottom like that.

how much does Toyota figure out installation prices ? Do they charge a flat rate or by normal per hour charges?

Well, if they stick to it, this region will lose a customer and Pacific Northwest will gain. I was already thinking of giving my present car to my Daughter in Portland this fall. So, maybe I'll drive out there in my old car and drive back in a new prius!

When I put in east or west coast zip codes, IV is available with or without Nav or Nav/Solar.

As Jabber has mentioned, the remote start price shown is if you order the car with it and its installed at the port. He says you can expect it to be a little higher if installed later at a dealer.

In one image I saw it looked like there was a remote which had a button to activate the remote start, similar to the remote the people get who opt for the solar roof option. But this I am not 100% sure about.

I've been trying to build my choice - A 'V' without Nav - every time it forces the Nav. Thought it was an appl build error. If this is forced upon me in this region (SE) I will buy elsewhere. For the life of me - I cannot understand the rational behind this....is this temporary, during inventory buildup - or standard practice?

Confusing, and if correct, frustrating. Like being in a frenzy.....argh! - different 4 letter word almost eeked out.

Can't add either in the configurator at the moment, so no pricing on the decal (not my thing) or the lower moldings (not so sure on those either).

Accessories I'd pick if I could pay < MSRP:

Paint protection film (3P)	$395
Rear bumper applique (EF)	$69
Carpet Floor Mats & Cargo Mat (CF)	$200
Illuminated door sill (G4)	$359
Cargo net (GN)	$51
VIP RS3200 Plus Security System (V5)	$359

• Application film is probably like 3M. Not sure if Toyota's warranty or installation would be any better than 3rd party. With the number of dings on my '04's hood, this item would definitely have value regardless of where I choose to get it.
• Bumper applique looks nicer than the hard shell and has saved many scratches.
• CF Comes w/ Priority orders (built into the price)
• Illuminated Door Sill just looks sweet. I'd probably save the $ on the install and do it myself for less as they're not hard to do.
• Cargo net is quite useful, though $51 is kinda high for it.
• Security system built into the car that doesn't require a 3rd party fob is always a bonus if it's just as "effective" (essentially a noise maker w/ an insurance discount).
