Prius Plug in Gen1 relability

I've many questions about this car regarding

an interior trim that i want to remove to install an additional 12v socket
swapping oem 15" for a bridgestone japan made 15" light weight wheel model se-10
buying a spare wheel off gen2 or normal gen3 and secure it in the car
a screen shot of Dr. Prius app that shows my #3 cell seems much lower than others, should i be worried?

 

congrats on your new pip!
not sure i've read anyone using doc prius on the pip yet, but if you're not getting a code, its still within parameters.
i know a gen 3 wheel will work, not sure about gen2. check the sticky threads.
all the best

 

Enjoy your new PIP. I just upgraded from an '07 to a '12 PIP. I believe that the Gen 2 spare wheels will work on your new car. I haven't tried to fit mine yet but everything 'looks' the same. I took my spare out of my '07 when trading it in (along with the jack ) I haven't found a way to secure it yet but wanted a spare since we use the car as our towed car on our RV trips and want to have a spare for it just in case.

 

i thought 2012 pip jack is right under the front seat. covered by a rectangle plastic

 

correct

 

You are probably correct. I just assumed since there was no spare, there was no jack either. Oh well, I've got an extra scissor jack to add more clutter to the garage now. lol Now, not only is the poor person who buys my car at auction going to need a spare tire, he/she'll need a jack also. Oops! I'll have to check on the jack when I go outside late to unplug the car.

 

they still provide a jack because you have to take the weight off the tire to use the goop

 

i found it by accident.. wondering why the fk would u put a cover here... tugged it a little and it came off showing the jack, tyre iron and the jack handle..
