      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi guys<br />
<br />
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with the push pins for the splash guard and fender walls that they sell on Amazon. Can anyone suggest an IMPROVED version to the OEM push pins/clips?<br />
<br />
I usually have my local dealership do my oil changes and I believe they either forgot to reinstall them or they came loose so the splash guard is just hanging there and it sometimes rubs.<br />
<br />
PS meant to post this in gen 3 forum mb. I guess it doesn&#039;t really matter in this case]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello all....<br />
<br />
I like to have the driver side door open when working on the car with car power on. That incessant beep drives me crazy to the point where I&#039;m considering disabling the push-button sensor on the door (yet that would then also disable the lighting.) <br />
<br />
Anyone know of ways to disable that maddening beep?]]></content:encoded>

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Has anyone here used <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BH4G1NW/?tag=priuschatcom-20" target="_blank" class="externalLink" rel="nofollow">this product</a>, or something similar? It would be great not to have to run a wire down to either the 12v port or the fuse box, though it&#039;s not clear to me how the cable exits the mirror housing.<br />
<br />
I guess it would pay to also get a very short USB cable? That is, rather than the long cable that comes with the camera, meant to reach the other power sources.]]></content:encoded>
