    I have a 2011 Prius 4 without the advanced technology package. Is it possible to add those parts onto my car if I get them? The heads up display, lane keep, radar etc.? I would like to add them or what is at least possible to add.

    You actually could but I'm going to tell you something that happens that I've seen for the last 40 years in the car business and that is usually these projects get started and they never get finished and are sold off on whatever for pennies on the dollar because life happens and these cars the ones you're working on right now they're not the ones that will come to light later and then all the above but good luck with it and you can absolutely do anything in this world you want to The question to ask yourself is it really worth your effort

    And remember you'll need bumper covers that have all the little pre-drilled holes in them for the sensors to go in so that'll have to come off of another car or buy new possibly front and rear bumper covers or get them off the technology wrecked car which would be tricky for all those little sensors to go into some of those sensors are problematic if they've been near things that have been crunched like in a fender bender then of course all the wiring and what have you It looks like a lot of these prii Do not come pre-wired so everything can just drop in apparently. Every little piece of wire and other pieces they can keep out of the car I guess saves them the penny or two here and there so they don't build like that anymore apparently.

    It's theoretically possible.

    If you can afford to put an ATP-equipped vehicle next to your car and spend about four solid days taking them most of the way apart and moving over the different things? Then yeah, it can be done.

    But for most people, it's way cheaper and easier just to go buy the version of the car they really want.

    Agree with everything posted so far. That said, I have the AT package and would not purchase a Prius without it.
