Window Tinting? by jana6
Sep 01, 2007 (11:12 am)
Reply
Since I do have the navigation system in my Prius (Touring 2007), any comments or suggestions about tinting my windows? I live in NV and would love to better protect the inside but was told I need to be careful about tinting the windows-something about the tint not having metal in it (or something like that).
 
Thanks

Metallic tints can interfere with signal reception. Want to be sure you're not going to kill your nav.

I'd seperate the phone from the plan. Find a used bluetooth phone that you like, then pop in the SIM card for your prepaid service. If you ask around, I bet a friend has a last generation phone that will meet your needs. If the phone is not from the same carrier, you can get it unlocked to work with any carrier.

From other owners postings, the Nav doesn't seem to be affected much by window tinting. If you are worried, and want good tinting as well, go for the "Huber Optik" tint. It's supposed to be a ceramic tint, not metal.

Or just buy an unlocked phone to start with. Most are GSM units, so that would be AT&T and a few other service providers. Celluloco and others sell lots of different models. Just search on the internet. The Toyota site has a section that advises which are suitable for use with the Prius.

Household Power by miltjw

I've been hearing about configuring the Prius so that it can supply about 3kw of 120v power to household appliances in the event of a storm outage.
 
            Any takers?

Are you for real? The beeping is much more likely to cause distraction. The back up camera is another issue, it works. You can't really be that unable to think. Social workers....

creature comforts? by 02priusdallas
Sep 24, 2007 (10:08 am)

OK, you don't buy a prius for creature comforts, but in the 02, the cup holders and center console storage configuration aren't that great. You don't want to take a corner too fast with a hot cup of coffee in either of the cupholders, and the center storage is one big bin, which means you really can't sort anything, it's all in a vertical pile, and then where do you hang the plastic bag you use for trash and put the kleenex box??? Did I say we were a little high maintenance?
  We went to the local parts store looking for one of those aftermarket console things you set in the middle and put stuff in. None of them fit very well.
 
Has anyone found a good brand? It would be nice not to have stuff on the floor.

Coastal Tech has a number of options to access additional features of the installed options.
 
This link is for the XM radio option.

Its pricy, but it does work with the factory display, and the antenna installs inside the car.
I'm waiting for my order to arrive. Wiii update with additional info if can help.
