Does this car have an aux input / ipod input!?!?!?

    If it does, I can't for the life of me find it!
    2013 Toyota Prius. I just (30 minutes ago) purchased it. I believe it's the 'one' model. Basic - doesn't have navigation, sunroof, heated seats, but it's dang near impossible to buy a car these days that doesn't have an auxiliary input or ipod input.

    Am I just missing it? I did a search and looks like third parties (Neo, etc) are providing that functionality, but it's a module i'd have to buy, wire, and so forth. If I have to, I will, but I can't believe that a car that supports Bluetooth streaming doesn't have an aux input somewhere!

    What am I missing?

    If its a model 1 it wouldn't have that, but I thought that is a fleet car more for rentals. I bought a CPO 2010 Prius 2 that had bluetooth installed. The original invoice was $299 for the Toyota bluetooth. I didn't see how much installation was, but that might be a better option than adding an Aux.

    Signed up on the Toyota website. Looks like what I have is a Toyota Prius TWO. Sorry about that, and thanks for the clarification.

    Can't see the service history on the car though. It lets me add a new service record but not view all service history. Of course it's a 2013 model with just a few thousand miles so it may have no service history.

    Look inside the center console in the forward wall of the box. Didn't it come with a owners manual?

    Sure enough. It was in that console. I swear I looked but all I could see was the 12v power outlet.

    It doesn't have an owners manual. But I paid $7000 less than msrp for a slightly used car so I couldn't complain :p

    Cheers guys! Thanks!
    Lovin this car so far. Wondering why I didn't do this 10 years ago.

    Tire rotate @ 5k miles and oil @ 10k. I changed my oil at 1200 miles ;-)

    You can access manuals on the Toyota Owner's site, too.

    Don't like the location nor the stupid cover. It forces you to hold it open and plug it in. My arm is just long enough where I can angle it without kneeling on the seat.

    My model 2013 also has a USB port on the front under the "bridge" containing the shifter. But it only charges as far as I know (mine is defective and does not work, so am not sure yet).
