    Anyone ever register with "MyToyota" website? I did this for my Honda, and didn't find it of any value, not sure if its worth the time for Toyota.

    With the Honda site, it was kinda a disappointment as the user (me) would have to enter details about any service the car had and was not automatically updated (was the main purpose of the Honda website). Not sure what the Toyota site has to offer.

    Only ISSUE... I've tried registering my 2009 Prius with it and it won't let me go past 2008. I've emailed them about this and they said begging October 1st any 2009 would be available to update... Just checked and still not available. Guess they really love keeping us all waiting :rolleyes:

    I registered on there when I had my Tundra. I didnt see a real benefit but it was cool that I check back in and they had added my Prius automatically to it and taken the Tundra off as my primary.

    Yeah, I registered that and also for the Buick site for my wife's Regal. I tracked oil changes and the service work from time to time. Eventually I fell out of using it.

    ditto, just seemed more of a way for Toyota to have an address to send ads.

    I went there hoping to download a user's manual to study while I waited for my Prius order to come in. I needed a VIN to register so no help here. I did find John's manual from this site. Last week when we finally got our car I went in with the VIN. Big disappointment. Nothing of use. Just adds for service.:(:(:(

    I think I signed up at the Toyota site, but never found any reason to go back.

    You will find a lot more useful info here at PC. For new owners, John's Stuff - Toyota Prius User-Guide is very useful.

    If you are interested in the tech stuff, check out Hobbit's link farm : Prius links

    I just registered but now I wonder if I should have even bothered. I found the Echo we sold on the site and our 2010 Prius. But I tried to register our 2003 Prius and it reports 'invalid VIN.' If I have a bogus VIN, there sure are a lot of copies stamped and printed all over our vehicle and the registration. ... Weird.

    It looks like they have some way to track 'service' but nothing for fuel or other costs. It is a shame ... this would be a great way for Toyota to get direct feedback on total cost of ownership and early reports of potential weak areas.

    Yeah, I signed up. Mostly because I bought my Prius used and the previous owner signed up and logged her maintenance there. She had it all dealer-serviced.

    I'm putting my maintenence logs in there as well so I have a convenient, full record. However, I don't get dealer service.

    My dealer gives a discount on service for belonging to the site. You may want to inquire at your dealership.
