Type of Prius

The best way is to look at your MFD screen... the illustrations, I think, show the buttons... get to know what your MFD looks like.

I have a base model, so I think I'm type 1 (I'd have to go look to verify),.. it has to do with whether you have the navigation, or are touring, etc.

 

type 1 = navigation, bluetooth, or cd changer
type 2 = handsfree bluetooth with no navigation
type 3 = base no cd changer no aux in

type 3 is the "low resolution", 1 + 2 are the "enhanced resolution" displays

type 3 does not have steering wheel controls

Odd, the one I rented a few weeks ago had no bluetooth, no nav, no CD changer... but it did have Aux In and steering wheel controls for climate/audio.

That sounds correct - The ones I mentioned were on the left. On the right the rental was missing the upper set, and had only the Recirc and defrosters.

This pic shows the wheel with all the buttons:

I have a base unit, no CD changer, no AUX, no navigation.
On my steering wheel, on the left, I have climate controls and audio controls
On the right, I have Defrost, Rear window defogger, and the Recirc button.
