#654 of 1971 Leasing a Prius by 10538h Apr 16, 2007 (2:09 pm)
Is this a terrible idea? I love the Prius but don't know if I can spring enough to afford financing and purchasing. I have learned a lot so far but am still rather inexperienced in regards to buying/leasing in general.   Is this not the best car to lease?   Thank you Replies to this message: carlstraub (Apr 16, 2007 7:33 pm)

#656 of 1971 Alarm activation on new 2007 Prius by wooha2000 Apr 17, 2007 (12:59 pm)
Firstly - OFF TOPIC but related to new car purchase.   Does anyone know if you can still get alarm (RS3200) activated via following instructions below... supposed the Alarm system comes equiped in all of the PRIUS but is not activated. There are a couple of Toyota PDF available but I can't seem to get them. If someone has them can they PM me and forward me a .PDF copy.   My dealer that I am buying the my 07 Touring Prius will activate my alarm for free, I am wanting to validate the instructions.   They are absolutely wrong from a technical perspective. A poster, Kyle, who is a TOYOTA MASTER TECH has done it. Now from an ethical perspective, they could refuse, but they should state that they refuse due to ethical reasons and not hide behind false technical reasons. Doing that makes them look ignorant and incompetent to be techs. What do they call the TVIP V5 RS3200, chicken liver? It is part # 08586-47840 as opposed to part # 08586-47840 on the GBS install. Hey! Notice they are the same part number? Fancy that! the former was taken from w141rs32.pdf, the latter from w141gbs.pdf, both obtained from TechInfo. QUOTE" Have them humor you and follow the following steps. These steps assume GBS has NOT been installed yet. I have bolded the parts that actually enable the alarm, skipping through the dull details. If the GBS has been installed, then again, a yellow wire has to be removed. The installation instructions mis-labels the connector to the body ECU. I believe the correct connector number is 1K rather than 16P shown in the instructions   H. Security Setting Procedure. NOTE: Check for the latest version of the software on Toyota Information System (TIS) before setting up the security system. NOTE: Ensure the software is the latest version (Production Version 10.2a. (07/18/03) or later.) NOTE: Download the latest software from Toyota Information System (TIS). 1. Connect the scan tool connector to the vehicle's diagnostic connector in the lower dash area. (Fig. H-1) 2. Insert the remote key or smart key (as appropriate) into the key slot. Press the power button once to select "ACC" position. i. Verify the shift position is in "N" position and LED on "P" switch is illuminated. 3. Push the scan tool main switch "ON" and then press the ENTER key. (Fig. H-2) "SELECT VEHICLE PROCESS 4. Select the correct vehicle application, Prius MY2004 . "SECURITY FUNCTION ON" PROCESS 5. Verify the connection of the DLC3 Cable. Press the "YES" button to continue. (Fig. H-3) 6. Select "OPTION SETUP" in the customize menu with the scroll key, then press the "ENTER" key. (Fig. H-4) 7. Press the "ENTER" key to select "DOP SECURITY" in the Option Setup menu. (Fig. H-5) 8. Select "ON" with the scroll key, then press the "ENTER" key. (Fig. H-6) 9. Press the "YES" key. (Fig. H-7) 10. Press the "ENTER" key. (Fig. H-8) END QUOTE"
#657 of 1971 Factory Rebates by johnsond Apr 18, 2007 (4:00 pm)
When you negotiate a price with the dealer, should the factory rebates they are currently offering on certain packages be included in the price or since this is a factory rebate, should you expect to get this in addition to the dealer price?

Hi, They're included in your deal. You should VERIFY with the dealer. Carl
