1st gen Prius

tntna · 11-29-2004, 10:53 AM

The cd player is located lower on the dash, behind a door. Not really hard to get to at all. We have two prius, the 2001 and a new 2005. While I can't say anything bad about the 2001, the 2005 is loaded! 2001 didn't come with cruise control even as an option. I'd say make sure you get cruise. That's the only thing bad I can say. The 2005 is more of a travel car. The 2001 is a great commuter car. Hope you can get one!

It is behind a door below the climate control knobs. You push in on the top of the door lightly to unlatch it, and it'll fall open.[/b]

Did all radios come with the disc button whether or not there is a CD player? or is it only for ones with CD? Sorry, I worded parts of the question badly. Thanks for any info you can provide about this. BobA: 10 points back to you because on every other automotive board I'm on (1 other) think I don't know much...

I'm pretty sure that all models came with the disc button whether the cd player was installed or not. As I recall our 2001 model had the Nav button available as well. We did not get the nav option. The CD player was one of the only options available on the 2001. The nav was the other option.

You are playing it smart by reviewing cars instead of just wanting one. Good luck with your search and keep posting the ?s.

the next couple of months its either high mileage 01 prius or a new sub compact like the fit, versa or yaris... tough decisions. So creature comforts or high mileage smooth car? (Shame only the versa is offered CVT, something I really wanted)
