    I was doing some work on my 2005 Prius. And I notice there was a wire sticking out and nothing connected to it. Any ideas what goes there? I recently purchased this Prius so don't know to much about it.
    Thanks

    This connects to a piece of electronics that is only in cars equipped with keyless entry system.
    Base models do not have Keyless entry system.

    Yes its the SKS amplifier. The Smart Key System is the best part of the car. Never have to take the FOB out of your pocket to arm or start the car. You have a base #1 car no SKS.
