There is no option from Toyota, AFAIK. BT music streaming didn't become available until the 2010 model year.

Yep, there's no aux jack. The cheapest solution for you is to use a cassette adapter (since you have a tape deck). Don't bother w/FM transmitters.

 

welcome, all the best!

 

Totally agree!
And get your second key ASAP. If you lost the only one, it will be very expensive to get the new one.

 

OP, any chance you can squeeze the other key out of the seller?

It's been quite annoying to hear of used Priuses coming only w/one key. It makes me think that sellers/middlemen are "losing" one by pocketing it and selling it.

 

My 07 has a aux jack inside the middle console... not sure what year that started, but we use our MP3 players that way. works well.

 

The aux input jack first appeared as an option on the 06 Prius. It was still optional from 06-09.
It didn't exist on the 04 and 05 models. 06 was a mid-cycle refresh that brought on a lot of changes. See 2006 at 2G Prius (2004-2009) Standard and Optional Equipment (Some Countries) | PriusChat.

(I have an 06 model NL, so I have every option except leather, which also didn't exist as a factory option until o6. There's no tape deck on mine so Toyota must've ditched it.

I have been in a former coworker's very stripped down used 08 or 07 and it had no aux input jack (I double checked) as well as no SKS, the old low-res MFD and graphics, and no backup camera.)

 

Welcome! Many happy miles to ya! Spend time lurking here. There's a LOT of information. And everyone's super friendly!
And really, get a key ASAP. I shopped specifically for a car with multiple keys.

 

Your car takes the "silver" logo key if you have the SKS system on your car. You will have the best luck if you buy a new key fob rather than a used one. Most folks here on PC have had difficulty with used one's off of Ebay, but had little or no problem's with the new ones.

You might find one cheaper than the links I am posting here if you Google

Here is the cheapest silver one I found after looking at a few sites.

You can get the "Emergency" Key cut at any locksmith, just have them copy your key.

Note: Any key you buy will have to be programmed. Toyota can do that for you for a fee, a locksmith may be able to program it also. Some folks here on Prius Chat have been sucessful programing the key themselves using the "chickendance" method that is discussed on Prius Chat.

Where did you buy your new chicken danceable KEY FOB, please? | Page 2 | PriusChat

I agree that you need to get a second key quickly. If your existing fob quits working, you will spend a lot more money getting a new key fob key without having a working one in the first place.

Also welcome to Prius Chat!

If you do decide to go with it, try to do what cwderna said - push the seller to get you the second key. I had the same problem when we bought ours for the wife. In the end, the seller did pay for the second key. I just had to push some buttons and make a few phone calls for it to happen. If you went with Toyota and had to pay for everything, your bill would probably be in excess of $350 US or more. That is why I suggested you buying the key yourself and doing the programming on your own. I haven't done the chickendance thing, but other member's here on PC have had success according to their post's. IIRC, they even paid for the new OEM floor mat's. When we bought the car, there were no floor mats in it.

Good luck to you and again "Welcome to Prius Chat".

Congrats! And I think it is a pretty good price for the mileage.

What do you mean by bluetooth volume adjustment? Could you post a link on this subject?

 

It's accessible via the same hidden menus as Weird stuff happening? MPGs dropping? Test The Battery | PriusChat. If you have HIDs and don't want to put unnecessary cycles on the bulbs, just toggle between off and the parking light position.
