    Replaced horns with Fiamms. The factory horns are terrible. Those should be illegal!

    Plus springs next!

    Two things...

    I'll go with the Curt Hitch like yours, but is that Euroball the same as any ball that you can buy or?

    Second...what's the model number on the Fiamm? My wife needs those horns...lol

    I got Euroball as part of the Curt kit. Euroball is basically ball incorporated with hitch. The tradition ones are 2 pieces.

    I bought 72012 and 72112. Sounds like a mix between an US and German car's horn. The dB are ok but can be louder. Airhorns perhaps? That will certainly get their attention.

    I hope this is in fact the case... So far I have seen one other Persona in my area although I know there are a few more. I wonder what the total production numbers were?

    I have gotten compliments on the color (black cherry)... and on the wheels. It's funny, I only heard of the Persona the day before I got this one last week.

    I had not heard o the Persona unit I saw a post by Dianne. What a great ride: quite, smooth and it really sticks to the road. I, too, have had man compliments on the Black Cherry Pearl color. I have yet to see another Persona on the road. Got a great deal from Dianne.

    Even numerous Toyota sales reps didn't know what it was.

    We'll see if it's true that they stopped production. The black interior is growing on me. Intially I thought it was too dark but my wife talked me into it as that's her fav. color interior.

    The Softex so far is great, very easy to clean.

    I've seen a black cherry in Santee on Mission Gorge and I saw a Blizzard Pearl yesterday on 15 north approaching the Border Patrol Checkpoint before Temecula.

    Relocated front plate for a cleaner look. I didn't even need to drill any holes and just used zip ties. Covered up the holes with white electrical tape.

    Not impressed with Fiamm's on the freeway. I might have to go with air horns!

    No need to worry about tinting a Prius. It's not something that's gonna trigger a cop chase! Also helps if you're over 60 years old.

    1.5 months in and feel like I'm getting settled in with the Persona.

    A few comments;

    Entune with Pandora interface is sweet. Sounds system using the right source is quite good.
    Back up beep setting changed is 1 beep should be default!
    Blind spot larger than I thought.
    Driving 400+ miles per tank is fantastic!
    Driving more than expected.

    The low fuel warning light blinks when it gets down to about 3 gallons left. I really wanted to push to get a 500 mile tank.. but that light is unsettling. Furthest on 1 tank so far is 430 miles on 9.4 gallons. Maybe I should carry a gallon of gas and go for that 500 mark?

    I own a Persona for a month and a half now and I absolutely love it. Great updates you have on yours. I was wondering how were you able to disable the reverse beeping sound.

    Thanks

    The persona is the new name for the Plus Package , but without the suspension upgrades.

    The dealer can handle that easily. The default setting for US is on. They can change it to off which then it only beep once.

    How did you connect that? 2013 Persona's has nothing from the Plus package. I wish it had the forged wheels.

    The main features that distinguish the Persona SE are the 17's black chrome wheels, Softex and only available in 3 colors. None of these are part of the Plus Package.

    With all the posts of complaints with the stock system, I am wondering if our speakers are perhaps different than the non-JBL's? I think they sound pretty darn good for stock. I guess someone with access to Toyota part numbers can check?
