Pulled the trigger new prius coming

Well it got on the boat today so i guess i will see it shortly…
Guardian gray limited awd with limited package. This is the first prius that is not red but they are currently in real short supply in this configuration.

coming off a gen4 4-non touring, does anyone know if the map can be split or tri-split with other displays like gen4 or is it map only? Is there a splash screen you can override with your own startup again?

Is seeing the cluster over the steering wheel as much of an issue as all the reviewers say?

 

on the gen 4 it was not explicit but you could override the startup screen. You had to have a picture in the right resolution saved as a specific file name. Then there was a way to import it and set it as default. When i started up my gen4 it would flash my avatar. I found out how to do this override from this forum, no manual discussed.

look at post 9
Custom startup screen prius prime | PriusChat

Granted the system was a little different in my gen4 with the larger hdd screen but it was possible.
If i had the new prius in hand i would check to see if these options were there

 

the other thing I need to see is if you can change the color of the light accents. The dealership messaged me today to let me know the "car is in port and they are awaiting processing and scheduled delivery". Toyota tracker said the car finished production like 3 days ago. I am not sure what port the dealer is referencing. If it is a port here (long beach or seattle) then the tracker site is really slow to update. If it is a port in japan then it still is going to be quite a few weeks before I see this.

 

Well, I took delivery!

The pickup was very smooth* This is the first time in negotiations I secured an "out the door" price. I got it for the exact price I was expecting. Now that being said, When I looked at the original listing on the dealer website AND the original window sticker that was made available on the dealer website, the dock addons were called out:

All weather mats including trunk
Door edge guards
Mud flaps
Rear bumper protector
Door bumpers (I could have sworn were also there).

As you can see from the picture, lots are things are missing! I had the foresight to print out the dealer listing when I first left the deposit but I think it got cut off and did not list the door bumpers. When the car arrived at port, the listing on the dealer website disappeared! The dealer said they could not recall it when I was there. I called out the missing items and provided my printout. The window sticker on the car only called out the mats and trunk liner and they were indeed there. Anyway, having provided the printout from the dealer site they gave me an IOU for the edge guards, mud flaps, and bumper protector. As it did not clearly say the door bumpers, they did not provide an IOU for that.....

The car was originally listed for $6k over MSRP dealer protection plan, not for the supposed dock addons. I offered on paying a max of $2k over MSRP providing they gave me $20k trade-in for my 2016. My 2016 had an accident on record from what the coal roller scraped my bumper (posts on prius chat), hail damage, was up on tires, but only had 30k miles on it. It was a fully loaded gen4 four (with heads up) that I added a spare tire to with all the toyota parts + had the appearance package installed + had the OEM foglights installed with a second switch to activate fog\daytime running lights.

We "negotiated" and settled on $2700 over MSRP.

 

PS had things gone bad and they tried to tack on more fees in the finance office, I would have given them the choice: remove the fees and I will finance, keep the fees and I will buy it outright and come back when the check cleared. Thankfully I did not have to pull that trigger.

 

One strange thing though, on the valve cover it looks like it melted a bit. Seems superficial but I guess i will need to watch it. Anyone else detect this?

 

by fog lights do you mean the daytime running lights?
