Imagine my surprise when I was googling for prius auto lock and came across this: www.evnut.com/prius_auto_lock.htm

This is identical to what is being sold here, even the instructions for installation are pretty much the same. It cost the author < $35.00 and he had parts left over.

I would say that if you are handy with a soldering iron and can follow a schematic, this would be the way to go. If not, then drop the extra cash and get it from Chad.
Lets do the math on this one.........

I earn 3 digits per hour. I drive around burning gas and time gathering up all the parts. Hopefully they are in stock (doubtful) and I don't have to drive to two or three places. I pickup all the parts and then spend half my Saturday assembling the parts. We must also remember the part for sale here supports this website (pays the bills). Lastly EVNUT has links to Anti-American websites.

All that for $35.00.........

Someone posted a review on the Prius shop page. I thought I would paste it in here for people to check out....

I purchased the auto door locking module for the Prius shown here. First let me say that I am a reasonably handy person, but not a mechanic. The unit arrived exactly as promised with instructions and color pictures illustrating every step of the installation procedure. Since this was the first one I had done, I was probably a bit more careful and slow than I needed to be. Exposing the wiring harnesses and getting to the power plug was quite straightforward. Some of the spaces where you have to insert the ends of the wire were a bit tight. I had a couple questions and called Chad who provided the unit; he was very helpful, responded immediately and walked me through exactly what I needed to do. About 20 minutes later I tested the unit - but I had not gotten the connector inserted far enough into the power switch, so initially it did not work. After re-checking all my wiring, it then immediately worked and has worked flawlessly since. A few minutes later I had everything back together and with no cutting or splicing of any wires I was very pleased with the job I had done. Since my wife drives the car frequently, I really like the idea that the doors lock automatically when you start the car. Highly recommended!

Here is a door lock solution that costs nothing.

After you close your car door, slide your hand down and using one finger, press the door lock button. Then press the start button and drive away.

WOW! I can't believe the heat's been laid on Chadster for his "design flaw" of 'instant locking'... I just returned to this site to see if there was a unit like this out yet. Now, $55 is too steep for me, and I'll tell you why in a second... but lookit where he's at--he's in the San Fernando Valley--why wouldn't he design it as a cheap "anti-Oakland" device?? L.A. ain't all that safe just because it ain't Oakland. As for me, I taped a big sign--"LOCK DOORS" across the power button when we first bought the car two years ago--it helped break the habit of relying on the electronics. Where we live, there ain't no crime to speak of (hell, we still leave the house doors unlocked, and the garage with its' golf cart and riding mower, too)--however, if we were still living in CA, I'da spent the $55 like that (snap!!), built-in inconveniences and all.
