Just got a new silver Prius!

Thanks. Maybe you didn't notice but the (last 3) leather pics are my 2010 Prius (now crippled sitting at a dealership).

 

Hi Ashley.... As a matter of fact the dealer called me this afternoon and said the heated leather package is in! I can drop off the car tomorrow morning!

After thinking about it, if Toyota doesn't sell these packages for after-market it must be a third party. I can remember that both salesmen for this Prius and my 2010 said they were color-matched and complete factory packages not just covers. For safety reasons they have to work properly for the airbags to deploy, etc. My 2010 was the 'misty grey' interior which is a two-tone scheme dark grey and light putty. It included the seats, headrests, padded leather on the door panels, rear armrests and even the console lid. The dark sections even had beautiful contrast stitching. And like I said before, it held up well after 5 years and almost looks new. A few years later Toyota went to softex which is thinner, cheaper and not as durable. I sat on it in Prius three and four that I looked at. It was not as impressive.

Tomorrow I will find out the details and post back here with pictures. I'm looking forward to getting it done.

 

My leather heated seats are finally in!

Sorry everyone that it took this long. It's been a crazy couple of days and there was a mixup about when they'd have my car ready.

I did not get to ask my salesman about the leather because he had to run out to deliver a vehicle when I was there picking up my car.

Nevertheless, I am VERY pleased with the results. I have concluded that this leather package is NOT a Toyota accessory. Reasons - the power switches are toggle ON/OFF only, no level settings and don't auto turn off, you have to remember to turn them off. The leather itself is REAL leather of a thicker and more durable quality than the softex. Like I said in my earlier post, my old Prius leather lasted over 5 years and still looks good! It has never ripped or had the stitching unravel.

Anyway, here are some pictures. I apologize that they're not that great, I did them with my phone.

Hi. Thanks. That part of the steering wheel is black. I didn't know others were not.
My 'urinal' is black also. I think that's why I liked this model so much.
I would like to replace the other white plastic pieces with black because it looks so classy.

 

Thanks for that picture. I think I would like the shiny black around the shifter because with mine the white looks so odd.

Where can we order it?

 

No these are NOT Clazzio. Although Clazzio are okay for what they are (consumer installable slip-on seat covers). I had Clazzio in another car years ago and they did not look factory and were not as durable.

I found out from the dealer's installer that these are Roadwire which is a very respected brand. My old Prius's seats by them are now 5-1/2 years and still look almost new. Here's Roadwire's statement from their site:

Roadwire leather seat kits are specifically cut and sewn to fit the year, make, model, and trim level of your vehicle. These are not slip-on seat covers, but rather they are designed to replace the existing factory cloth or leather seat covers in your car. No other factory style replacement leather seats look as good or are as easily installed as a Roadwire custom leather interior, and all at the lowest prices in the industry! Each leather upholstery kit is manufactured from automotive grade, top grain leather and includes: seat covers for all rows of seating in your vehicle, headrest covers, armrest covers, and in most cases door panels. Roadwire leather seats are built to last, which is why each leather interior kit comes standard with a 3-year or 36,000-mile warranty.

 

Thanks for that. I definitely am going for the all black look. I think it is classy and high tech.
This afternoon I called my local Toyota dealer near work where I usually get service. They said they can get it in for me by Monday. $72.20
