    Thanks for the complements...I almost went Bisque also.

    The USB light is plugged in the USB port under the center dash..next to the 12V outlet. The USB light is white, and works GREAT! I found the center dash area to be TOO dark..

    The dash cover I bought from Dash Covers of AZ..Great fit! Dash Covers of AZ

    I like it jdtechtalk00.

    Your bio says you have a 2007 Prius and you are posting in the Prius v (wagon) forum.

    I'm not complaining, I'm just saying.

    I'm at it again....I love the new Super Bright LED interior lights! Just remove old bulbs and plug in the new!

    http://store.ijdmtoy.com/Toyota-Prius-SMD-LED-Car-Interior-Lights-p/pkg_toyota_smd_21.htm

    Just an update! WOW! - I need sun glasses now :) I just love the new Super Bright LED interior lights..Installation took about 20 minutes for the kit!
    The little cargo light was the most difficult to install. I couldn't figure out how to pop that sucker out!
    Here's how: To remove the rear cargo light I used a small flat screwdriver and place it on the RIGHT side of the housing (between the lens frame.) Then GENTLY push the light housing to the LEFT as you pry/pull out on the light. You have to pop the right side out first and it comes out pretty easy after that....

    Hope this helps..if so click on the THANKS on the bottom right.. :)

    Does the Shark Fin Antenna work with Sirius radio?

    The OEM mast probably provides the best signal for the GPS, the radio, and the sat.

    I would expect at least a minor degradation in performance with the shark fin antenna. Whenever you go from mast to stub you are giving up something.

    I see the illuminated door sills for the 2012 MY Prius..think the Prius v has the holes already drilled and ready for illuminate kit? Not thinking its coming out.

    I just ordered the lights, you were right the OEM are worthless! I would like to replce that little bulb that is amber between the LED's with something blue...know what that is? Also, did you do your license plates lights and which ones are those?

    The Shark Fin Antenna works Great! I believe the Sirius antenna is in a different location..I believe its located on the rear view mirror post.

    I'm not sure which ones you're talking about..are you talking about the headlights? If so..no.

    I did not order the License plate lights...I thought about though ... but then I asked myself.."Do I really want to make my license plate more clear/bright for the Cameras?" :)

    Cactus does the armrest cover damage the armrest in any way? I suspect my armrest will take a beating if I'm not careful and this seems like a good idea. W

    Also does it offer any extra padding, my 2009 Venza center console had deep padding and I got used to resting my elbow on it. The one in the Prius v5 is very hard.

    How about a pic of the dash cover, only generic pics on the web sites, which are not specifically for the "v"?
    Thanks, Jim

    The cover does not damage the armrest at all. I bought it because I wanted to protect the cloth covering. I think Toyota dropped the ball on the armrest completely..It should have hinged in the rear and should have been softex to begin with..

    The cover is over priced in my opinion..it's just a small piece of leather with velcro on the ends..but it does the job..

    I will post pics tomorrow..
