Factory EV button in 2006 - done!

OK, my EV mod page has never been any great shakes, but it does have some pointers to the instructions that we all know and love by the guys who invested LOTS of time doing them for us (thanks!).

I've now gone from the high-beam actuation to the factory EV button (complete with dimmable LED light!) and love it. I took some pictures and did a limited write-up. Old news around these parts these days... but hey, I've been out traveling all summer, and this was my first chance to get it in. Works great, of course. Just like it did before I spent all this extra money and time.

PLEASE feel free to point out anything broken on my site! I've removed those links... they pointed to articles on PC that seem to be missing today.

 

Could be. Easiest to just remove them. I'll look for them again later... like when I actually get around to the mod!

In the meantime... how about that 2006 factory EV button!

Having this feature available was one of the compelling reasons I went with the Prius over the Honda, actually. Many times that I need to move short distances and don't want the cold ICE to fire.

Thanks for the compliments. I think I should take the top "totaled" picture off that page though. Scares too many people!)

Ha! Good point.
