got me an 05..saying hello

hello all,

i bought an 05 prius about a week ago, and i found this place and had to say hello!

i have many other cars, but this on is right at the top of them all as far as a fun car to drive!

i bought this car for a work car for the most part, but found myself driving it all the time while i was at home (i work out of the country).

i have done alot of reading on here in the last few days, and have most of my questions answered already from the great threads on here.

i dont really know what package i have (if any).
it is a white 05 with 22k miles on it (which i only gave 15k for).
it has no jbl system, no nav (i have one), no bluetooth, no back-up cam.

it has fllormats, curtain airbags, i dont know about seat airbags, cloth seats, cruise control.

the car was owned by a 70 year old man and his wife. i guess it was to high tech for his wife, so they wanted to buy something else. i think i got it for a steal!

i have found some things that i want to buy, but i have to figure things about my car out first.

i know i want the okely (sp?) seat covers, but i dont know if i have the airbag in the seat yet (have to wait till i get back home to see). and i dont know what the split is in the rear seats (60/40?).

i want the bluetooth for my phone, but i am still looking into which one will be the best. i am not really worried about price as i am worried about it working the best. i have found some units on here that i am looking into.

as far as the nav. goes, i have a garman nuvi 350 that works just fine.

i want the ipod hook-up, but i am still looking into it also. have found a couple on here that i am looking at.

i do have a question though,

if i dont have nav. and i want to hook up video (ex dvd), is it possible? i would like to use the screen that is already there instead of having to mount another somewhere.

anyway, i look forward to getting to know you guys, and getting to know this car!

 

oh i see, the screens are not the same. i guess i will just build a mount for my umpc and be happy with that then...lol. thanks!

as for the seats, i just learned of the side airbags while i was at work. i will check them out when i get home. i wish i would have checked before so i could have the covers sitting at the house when i got there.

i will buy the dash cover and the wheel cover now though, that will give me something to play with when i get home.

 

well, i took michgal007's advice and looked up my package.

best i can tell, it must be the package #5 with the prefferred accessory pkg.

 

ya, that is the ones i am going to buy. i am just going to go solid black with the half piping. i saw it on someones car on here, and i like it.

i am going to go ahead and get the dash mat also in black suede from dashtoppers.

as for the camera, i am fine without it.

out of all the options, the only one i really want it the bluetooth, but i can get aftermarket and will be just fine.

as far as the outside of the car goes, i am happy with it. i just want to do some things to the inside to make it a little more user friendly, and look a little better.

 

ya, i got lucky, it has every piece of the paperwork from new, and they took it to the dealer for all the work (oil etc).

 

lol, ya, i have been reading thread after thread on here to learn all i can about the car.

thanks!

 

yes, i have been trying to contact coastal tech thru emails and phone calls, but thru reading on here (and now with my own experiance), i have found they are very hard to get in touch with.

i will keep trying! thanks for the great info and links!

btw, thanks for all the welcomes. i am very good with motors (spare time hobby), and i hope once i figure the prius setup, i will be of some help to others on here.
