    Can I swap the upgrades from the five trim level to my three trim level. Such as led headlights, heated seat, proximity key fobs.
    If not what after market accessories are best for getting apple car play, led headlights, better backup camera, any other suggestions

    Thanks

    Hello new owner of a 2014 Prius v three. Can I swap the upgrades from the five trim level to my three trim level. Such as led headlights, heated seat, proximity key fobs.
    If not what after market accessories are best for getting apple car play, led headlights, better backup camera, any other suggestions

    Thanks

    Yeah if you want to keep busy, heed the sage advice first, bells and whistles later. More info in top two links in my signature (on a phone turn it sideways to see signature).

    what’s the miles?

    155,000 miles. Yeah I took it to the Toyota dealership and had any mechanical issues addressed. It just had head gasket replaced and tune up. Now looking to upgrade comfort. Is there a way to reduce road noise.

    Did the dealership clean (or replace) EGR system.

    If not I’d highly recommend you get it done, to avoid blowing the new head gasket in short order. And repeat every 50k miles. It’s necessity for 3rd Gen. Toyota “quality”, and more importantly, their response to this mess, has been abysmal.

    some people use dynamat or equivalent to one extent or another.
    inside doors, floor, rear spare area, wheel wells and etc.
    and tyres can make a difference
