    Anyone install a CoastalTech AutoLock? (2007 Prius) I ordered one a week ago and just got it. It looks a little intimidating.

    I have. It's tricky, but not uber-hard. Unfortunately it doesn't work very well. It works about 60% of the time.

    I think that's the first mod I did in my 2005. It took about 30 minutes and has worked fine for me. As a whole Coastal has good instructions.

    I installed it into an 05 as well, but we also added just about every other coastal tech addon available. maybe ours has a conflict.

    I know that the EV mod from Coastal shares one of the same wires. If that got disturbed during installation perhaps the connection became intermittent.
