    Hey guys. Got a 2025 Limited Prius in white last month. I upgraded from my 2016 Prius. Big upgrade. I did a search and didn’t find anything related but I’m wondering if there is an ongoing list of tip or tricks for new car owners? TIA

    I don't think there's anything specifically under "tips and tricks". If you have questions about specific features of the car you might do a search of titles and find a lot of what could be tips or tricks or at least very good information. Congrats on your new purchase!

    @1stPriusLA Here's a bunch of little tips that I used in my 2023 Prime.

    Use a gen 3 cargo net to store your cargo cover when not in use. It fits perfectly.

    Remove that ugly PRIUS logo at the back by carefully peeling it off. It's just double sided foam tape. Use a clay bar to remove any bits of foam that remains.

    Found some metal hooks covered with fake leather and red stitching that matches the trim of the Prime exactly. From Aliexpress.

    Add keyboard dots so you can feel the parking view buttons behind the steering wheel. Works with the overhead light touch buttons too. From Amazon.

    I tried many ways to mount my phone, and the one that worked best for me is ProClip. Atach mounts makes a similar one.

    I glued a magnet to the bottom right of the console, so I can use a magnetic clip to hold a small bag for garbage. Cheap, and works much better than any of the various garbage holders you can buy.

    It's a great car. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
