    Danny, glad ya love your car... and dont worry CPS is not looking for you.

    i am also wondering if my Satellite is working up to snuff as well. seems that sometimes i get a lot of signal fades and losses in places i should not be having issues. out on the freeway, relatively flat terrain etc.

    its hard to judge because i have never had satellite before, but one friend also mentioned she had a lot of audio dropouts as well so wondering if its a regional thing although a few from Seattle have already chimed in that they were not having any issues so dont know.

    anyway...wandering a bit. keep us posted on your observations

    Congratulations, Danny! The car looks gorgeous. The pictures and commentary almost make me wish that I was getting a 2010.

    Now all you need to do to improve the looks is to remove the dealer badge from the rear hatch! :)

    Best wishes,

    Frank

    I'm so glad you were able to be swapped to a dealer who treated you right. Congrats on finally getting her home.

    Sadly, with all of my car-on driveway playing and A/C usage, I have no hope of seeing 60mpg. I'm filling up this morning at 2 pips and 3'something on the ODO, so we'll see how it goes from there. Will <cough>pump those tires</cough> today as well.

    Congrats! (you dog!) :)

    So no signal lights on the new sideview mirrors, eh? Can you swap them out?

    Yeah, it looks like the signal mirror installation should be as easy it was on the Gen II. Just pop off the mirror cover and do the wiring.

    @yardman - Don't worry, I'll be taking it off soon. Just thought the dealership should get their recognition on PC.

    you big showoff

    I want to know how you got yours before I got mine. What, are the roads to Asheville better than the roads to Lancaster?

    But seriously, congrats. It's a beautiful and almost as nice as mine (when I get it).

    I am a new member to PriusChat and also the proud owner of Danny's 2006 Prius which looks and feels just like a new car. I'm thrilled that Danny bought himself the 2010 Prius because I have his other baby now. The bonus is that I also have a couple of new friends.

    I just purchased 2010 Prius package II. Noticed when I turned on the headlights the MID was unusable in normal daylight. I have called Toyota to complain as I believe this is a safety problem. My 2005 did not have this problem. The sales man said the car came with daylight running lights,but am unable confirm this.It does have auto off. Does your car have DLR lights? I may take the car back to the dealer and let him figure it out.
    So far I like the car very much except for the beeping when in reverse.

    you have it in "night" mode. there is a roller button on left next to steering wheel that controls display brightness. just turn it until it clicks and the screen will stay in permanent "day" mode
