Replying to: further (Jun 14, 2005 8:35 pm) I am sure that it can pull a wiener wagon. The catch is getting past the Prius warranty. I would not wire anything into the Prius without written approval from Toyota.

Replying to: vmccaul (May 01, 2005 11:44 am) Thanks for the command series-- it stopped the Reverse beeping! I still get the seatbelt warning beeps, and would love to disable those, too. Will keep looking for advice on that!
#45 of 353 Roof rack on a 2005 Prius? by flipperzdad Jul 03, 2005 (5:06 pm)
Has anyone found a satisfactory off-the-shelf roof rack for a 2005 Prius? I know there's a lot against it: the humped roofline and door gutters that don't look promising for securing strap hooks. Any suggestions? I would hope to carry a light boat or canoe, or perhaps some lumber from ye olde hardware store...

Replying to: flipperzdad (Jul 03, 2005 5:06 pm) Welcome to the forum. Both Thule and Yakima make roof racks with adapters for the Prius. Anything on top will knock the heck out of your mileage.

Replying to: gagrice (Jul 03, 2005 7:48 pm) Many thanx Gagrice. We found out about interfering with the slipstream and the resultant mileage dip when we carried two bicycles a couple hours to the beach on a rear bike rack. (Actually, the rack is a Yakima, so I shld have known to check them out anyway).

#48 of 353 Seeking aftermarket seat to lower my eye level by joshuarr Jul 12, 2005 (7:24 am)
I'm 6'4" tall. I want a Prius, but when I sit on the factory seat, the rearview mirror (with its extra 1/2 inch of gadgetry on its bottom edge) takes up too much of my forward view. (Try putting your head at eye level with the mirror and you'll see what I mean.) Can anyone tell me where to look to get an aftermarket seat with a bit of bucket to it so I can safely drive the Prius? Thanks.

#49 of 353 Baby/Child Seat by jacqueusi Jul 15, 2005 (11:13 am)
Are the ISOFIX/LATCH mounts setup for mounting a child seat in the middle of the rear passenger compartment?   What about airbag deactivation for the front passenger?   Thanks!

Replying to: joshuarr (Jul 12, 2005 7:24 am) joshuarr:   It would no doubt be less costly to skip the idea of changing seats. Instead, why don't you first see if you can adjust the inside mirror higher, using both balljoints. Secondly, if the "extra 1/2 inch of gadgetry on its bottom edge" is a concern, you might want to dump the OEM mirror and install a basic mirror that is not as high.
