Thanks all for the help in connecting a solar charger to the 12 volt battery. Just a few thoughts on improving mileage. I read that the 12 volt eats up 30...
Dave, Nominal voltage on the '01-'03 HV pack is 273.8v. You would need something higher than that to charge it. I'm not saying it couldn't be done but there ...
Hi Dave, I have a full set of manuals plus the New Car Features for the 2001 Prius. I think I paid over $150 for them, but could let you have them for $50 plus...
I like your idea about solar charging the high voltage battery. I don't think your proposal is a smaller step than the CalCars proposal, though. CalCars is...

... I'm pretty sure it's for the Auto-Park feature in the Japanese model of the Prius. Part of that system is a rear-facing camera that displays an image ...
I agree it is much simpler to use the grid to charge the car at night. I installed a solar system with inverter at my home connected to the grid (no...
The rear view camera is an option in the Sienna XLE with Nav, the 4Runner Limited with Nav and the Land Cruiser with Nav but NOT in the Prius. If you look...
Does anybody know a way to switch the fuel consumption indication from l/100km to km/l on the european Priuses? The option is not to be found anywhere on the...
The center console on my '02 Prius has been a sore spot for awhile. Why is it so pathetically designed, and worst, so low as to be useless as an armrest? Now...
I just got home with my new '04 Prius. We got the leather seats and it makes such a difference. It really feels like a luxury car!! So, I was talking to the...

Classic or 04? You might also want to note exactly *how much* of the dash you want to remove. In either case, you can get a $10 one day TIS sub, and download...
I agree on the no armrest problem. I have an '01 and I went to the local foam outfit and ordered a block of quite firm and hard foam rubber to fit over the...
thanks. got the dash apart with instructions from nice guy at the toyota service dept. '04 prius now looking at changing out stock speakers. any tips on door...
Jed, You should really spring the $10 for a one day TIS subscription if you have highspeed dialup. You can download the entire set of 04 manuals (though it is...
... I sent an extensive response with my solution, but for some reason it never got posted. To summarize, I'm using a rear armrest from an '86-'90 Accord (with...
I came up with an excellent solution for $3, in the form of a rear Accord armrest, at a local DIY auto salvage yard: U Pull R Parts, in Rosemount, MN, whose...
There is a dvd mod for the 2001 Prius. From what I hear, there are no plans for that in the 2004 Prius. Bad idea anyway. You do not need that kind of...
I have a 2003 Prius that I want to mount an amplified subwoofer (Bazooka type)in the trunk. Is there a wire on the 12v battery harness that has switched 12v...
About the HV battery losing charge while just sitting there: Yes, it does. One thing about NiMH batteries that that they have relatively poor self-discharge...
... Don't forget that it's the hybrid traction battery that actually starts the gasoline engine when you start your car, so it's to be expected that the charge...
