I can confirm Gen II and Gen III batteries are the same. I just swapped 12V batteries between our 2004 and 2010. I had bought one of the direct-fit...
If you've watched Mythbusters before, you may have caught the episode where they tested "old school" automatic transmissions to see if they could...
Thanks! I took a look and found it. I haven't read all 12 pages yet but so far it looks like I might be able to get a 2012 touchscreen and install...
As a follow up to my previous post just before this one, my MFD repair was a success. I re-soldered pins 59 and 60 even though I couldn't see...
Our 2004's MFD started having issues late fall 2012 once the weather turned cold (Minnesota). Through out the winter the MFD would work about 50% of...
Is/was the solar package on the Gen III's the only choice if you wanted a moonroof? I ask because I'm in the market to upgrade our Prius again (had...
Thanks! I was half expecting the 2010's Nav screen to include some hybrid information (e.g. like the 2012 C's did). Sounds like I don't need to hold...
Hello, we're looking at upgrading to a 2010 Prius (I have owned both previous generations already). I have yet to own any Prius with NAV, and I have...
Somewhere on this site is a set of instructions on how to test the 12V battery a better way, using the MFD screen (e.g. no multi-meter needed). I...
It wasn't immediately obvious that the 12v was going out. This started happening a few months ago, as we started going into winter (when we...
I just replaced my OEM black Nippon yesterday, date code of 2003 (forgot the month/day on date sticker) with an Optima--about $150 shipped to my door...
I've run several types of snow tires including Dunlop Graspic 2, Bridgestone Blizzak WS60 and WS70, and Firestone Winterforce. My favorites thus far...
I installed the EP100's about 2 years ago and have 21k on them thus far. I had to install them as soon as we bought the car because the previous...
We're pretty well snowless here in the upper midwest. Rather an unusual year, warm and hardly any snow. We were expecting a cold and snowy winter...
I would refuse, at all costs, to buy any Prius with 100,000+ miles. That's why I did the smart thing and bought the last one at 99,573 miles. I...
What's your tire pressure?
Most of the time, when I see vehicles in the ditches here in Minnesota, it's pickup trucks and SUV's as well. As an example, last weekend all 16...
For anyone who thinks the Prius is a little "front heavy."
If you haven't checked car-part.com yet, there are 25 pages of transmissions with prices, starting at the $200 mark. There are several more pages of...
Glad to hear you're ok. Just my two cents, but it looks totaled to me, or very near it. Where in MN were you? We were on I-35 last weekend and...
