List of known hacks / "easter eggs" ?

so there is 1 thing better about USA prii...

 

Two actually. We did not get heated mirrors on the gen2 even on the top of the range model.
This makes you wonder who makes these decisions at Toyota when they are fitted in Florida, but not in a country where the climate is prone to be damp, misty, or frosty. This makes the door mirrors more of an ornament than a functioning item. Fortunately this is a very easy add on.
However I still think we get the better deal with no thermos tank and all that it entails, and the dreaded bladder fuel tank, and all that that entails. This must make the UK versions somewhat lighter than it' US cousins by perhaps 40 to 50lbs. Plus we get rear rotor brakes "discs to us".

It may be different depending on your year and model.

Search the forums for unlock all doors, and you will find more info.

I don't know if either one of these work with EU models but they might be worth a try if you already have the equipment and apps for other reasons. I don't think I would buy anything hoping it might work for just the reverse beeper.

 

Cd recording has been stopped in my prius, Rec button has greyed. I've previously recorded many CD's onto it.
Would you help me in this regard.

 

I'm not familiar with your 3rd generation audio system but you might find something here that might help.

One thing they mention is that the recording doesn't work for mp3 CDs. What format are you trying to record?

 

Guys any hack for speed limiter? JDM's cruise control is limited to 110km/h and doesn't work beyond that. Any hack to remove this limit? Its a 06 JDM Prius.
