I am picking up my 06 today

hey kinged, thanks for the great pics. is that a little scratch and ding i see in the left front quarter panel?
(just kidding......) enjoy your new baby! she (or is it a he?) looks great.

 

I probably should have included this info in my last post, ties in with the DMV stuff that was just mentioned.

The dealership where I picked mine up from (up North from you) has one person that does all the DMV paperwork. You should be able to find out who that person is if you are really interested in making it go fast. When I talked to this person she told me she went to the DMV every Wednesday to file the paperwork. She was very happy to fax over the registration documents the next day. As soon as I had that, I sent in my FasTrack application (I don't think you need that down South).

It took about 4 weeks to get my stickers, just got them this last weekend.

I'm stuck at work, but its slow....

 

Don't worry about FasTrack. That only applies to the Bay Area.

To see if the VIN is in the system, call 800-777-0133 Options 1, 3, 2, 0 (as soon as the recording starts you can select the option)

Also, suggest getting in contact with the DMV clerk at Longo. Your salesperson might tell you things are really being rushed, but the DMV clerk might have their own timetable. If you can establish a direct relationship with that person and explain that DMV is getting close to the 50,000 mark, that might help.

 

What version is your NAV DVD?

Can we get a closeup of the resolution of your screen?

Thanks!

 

Wow, that gray interior is gorgeous.

 

I'm most concerned with how the mp3 player works and how it is displayed on the screen.

thanks.

Ken

 

congratulaions. by the way did they change the seats from the 2005 model?

 

Hi Kinged, you have a beautiful car! Nice pictures. What do the seats look like? Are they perforated leather?

 

IF you take more pics to post, I'd appreciate one from the front that shows the "chromed" bar in the grille. The tree cast too much shade on the front in the one pic you put up. Does it LOOK like chrome (bright)?

Thanks.

 

Well since you offered, yes more pics - Of seats, inside center consol, of nav and other screen shots like AC, speedometer, of emblems outside by lights, close up of front and rear lights, etc etc. Kind of like on eBay motors - they take pics of everything: engine, each door, buttons sutff like that. Thanks so much! The car is beautiful! Congratulations!!

 

What I`m wondering: Is the bluetooth quality improved over the '05 model? The half duplex just isn`t working really well.

(I`m seriously hoping I`ll be driving a prius for work in a few months )

 

Hi Kinged,
Congratulations again. Thanks for the pictures and if possible do send us some more pictures of high resoulution Navigation system etc., as requested by other members.

 

I know you're getting lost of questions on your new car... but here's one more

The 06's have mp3/wma capability, but is that with all 6 cd slots? is that compartment under the stereo filled with something or is it still available for other add-ons?

Thanks...

 

Hi Kinged,

Can you give us a pic of the leather interior? I'm curious how dark the charcoal grey is. On the Toyota website it looks almost black. Thanks and congrats. Rob

 

Kinged: Enjoy the new Prius!!! Did you notice if the leather seats are heated? Just hoping ....

 

Good luck with the new car and thanks for taking the time to take and post those great pics.
