The Prius doesn't heat up fast enough, time for an engine block heater!

Wayne, I finished the installation per your instructions/pictures and it worked out fine, thanks.

I would like to use the block heater without having to open and close the hood every time. Have you tried a solution like installing an external plug mounted underneath the bumper or in the fog light panel? For a simple fix, I could extend the existing plug out the lower grill or one of the lower shroud openings too.

Normally I run the plug out the lower grill. Easy to do, but be aware that the plastic of the front nose doesn't like to be bent in cold temps.
