Anybody know where to get a trailer hitch for the original model Prius (this one's a 2003). CoastalEtech sells one but it's for bicycle racks and not for...

You can use a "Lockpick" solution like this: http://www.coastaletech.com/LOCKPICK_MAIN.htm I have the Lockpick 3 Ultimate, but I think all you need is the ...
According to the lock pick site, their lock pick will not work with later versions of the maps. I'm Gen 4 at version 8.1. (05 Prius) Is there anyone else out...
You can install a switch for about $5 ($20 if you don't own a soldering iron and other soldering supplies). Just search PriusChat.com for "NAV lockout",...
You might give the nice folks at Coastal Tech a call. I have a '09 Prius that works well with the lock pick. I am a bit confused by your reference to Gen 4...

To easily monitor hybrid use, you'd want to stick with 2004-5, as the 06-7 have a digital display, so a CANView needs a separate screen for 06-7. "stronger...
