What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

I guess there only making these for the standard Navi huh? I have the technology package which is a 7 inch Navi screen i believe so I wouldn't even have a option to buy one if I wanted would I?

 

Yes, oddly enough, they only seem to have one model. but I'm quite happy with the one I made myself: What did you do to ur Prius today???? | Page 221 | PriusChat

 

Please share drawing with measurement for us following your steps

 

• Simpler than that; for a 7" display, cut a strip of cardstock 13" long and 2.5" wide. Mark 2 lines, each 3" in from the ends, perpendicular to the long side leaving exactly 7" in the middle section.
• Draw a line diagonally across each of the smaller rectangles at each end. Using a nickel, trace 4 half-circles along the top edge, and one on each of the angular sides, making tabs, which will insert into the cracks along the edge of the display unit.
• Cut everything out, fold the remaining 2 lines to 90 degree bends, and attach to the head unit display. See the pictures in my above posting.

 

dang man! having my friend wire mine on the 7th when I return from vacation as there already on the car though. Don't have my prius with me as I'm gone for 2 weeks so I'm having withdrawals haha but that's not stopping me from ordering stuff every night lol

 

Thanks!!! Excellent work!

 

Had the dealer perform 20,000 mile service and recall today. The car came back with a clean bill of health but I'm sure I'll have to readjust my tire pressures. No noticeable difference from recall at this point but will continue to monitor.

While I didn't get hit up, it was amazing how many customers were get hit up by the service advisers for "fuel system cleaning." I was a little disappointed that they didn't recommend it to me as I had a response waiting for them .

 

So, what was your waiting response? (…just so that I (…and hundreds of others) will know exactly what to say next time they advise us to clean the fuel system??? )

 

I was going to ask the specific process that they were going to take to clean my fuel system (my hypotheses it is about a 15-30 min job and they'll ask $200). Then, as others have advised, I was going to have them show me where in Toyota's owner or service manual it recommends this type of service as proactive maintenance. Upon them not being to produce this documentation I would then ask if this will increase the length of my cars warranty. I'm sure they will respond, that no, but it will increase the longevity of the car and keep it a peak operating performance. My obvious response would be as to how many more miles could I go on a gallon of gas and could he calculate MY ROI of this service. Also, as to longevity, I would mention that I have two cars with over 180K on the clock with no dealer fuel cleaning and both run fine. So I would tell him that I am not going to pay you $200 to spray some cleaner in my throttle bottle and wipe it out.

I would also give them a very low score on their service survey. I may comment on this anyway as it is a shady practice.

Do you have any pics of your bake job or a thread link where u may have mentioned it as u were doing it? I have factory led headlights now and thinking of getting another pair to play around with... want to bake and remove and paint all the chrome flat black. I noticed u said u had a time baking.. would u say it's not as easy as this guy makes it sound or does he suggest some stuff to do that you weren't aware of?

Thankful to have my car back after a bad stealership service dept experience!!!


iPhone ?

 

It's easy, I just don't follow instructions well. I was prying them off too rough at the wrong section, I got the glue all over the lens. Used pliers to fix the distortion I made. Bought some goo gone and that took care of the glue that was on the lens. Bought extra sealant and it was fine.
I recently sold them though. No pics sorry.

 

Reminds me of when I did mine!

Looks good! u leave the amber reflector out?
