    So I've read through tons of threads on EV mode and just don't see anything about the 08 Prius and EV mode. Even on Costal's site it only gives the option for 2004-2007 accessories. I assume the 07 and 08 is interchangeable as far as EV mode is concerned but I just have to ask to see if someone can confirm this.

    The Costal method of using CC stem wouldn't work for me anyway as I don't have CC. So I will probably have to go the I'm thinking install a button to me sounds like the only option with no drawback. Someone correct me if I'm wrong there, it just seems with the flasher method you get into flashing your lights at people for no good reason, and the CC doesn't apply to me as I said anyway.

    Then you need a 2006+ button (note that it is different from the 04/05 button).

    The programming and all are identical on all '04-'08. As Tideland said the OEM button is a different size for the slot than the '04 & '05, but that's the only thing that's different. Choose your favorite method.

    Unless there has been a big change (for the worse) in the '08, you should have Cruise. ALL Prii packages have had cruise since the '04 came out.

    Toyota has just started this year offering the Prius with absolutely NO package on it. To make it as cheap as possible so they do offer it with no cruise.
