Don't be too scared about opening up the car. It really is very simple, and took me about ten minutes - most of that time spent referring to the...
You know what - I did overlook that you said you didn't have the JBL system. I do. So you may need a different (and possibly cheaper) harness. If...
I just upgraded the factory stereo - actually, still working on it. I did buy everything from Crutchfield, because the Web site shows you all the...
One interesting question here is how much longer you are planning to keep the car, and how you drive it. In my Prius, the battery lasted 300,000...
This post is a bit older, but since it came up with my Google search, I'll add my two cent's worth anyway in case it helps the next person. When...
About a year ago, my Prius started showing symptoms of old age, and for a while I suspected the battery. At the time, I shopped around just to...
I know. Fortunately, I drive 50,000 miles a year, so I don't expect the next 05 to last more than four or five years before *it* hits the 300,000...
There are basically four sources for replacement batteries, and in the end, they are all more or less the same. The actual batteries are, as far...

Thank you! And it seems entirely possible that the engine issues might even be responsible for my ABS issue, too (I asked about that in another...
Thank you, Patrick. Your expertise is a godsend! The spark plugs were replaced about 20k miles ago, and didn't help with the problem. I just...
My symptoms may well be different from most people's because of my driving pattern (I live at 4000 ft and commute almost daily to sea level and...
Well, the car is clearly performing below specs, so some component has gone bad even though according to the codes, all components are "within...
Thanks! Yes, I looked at that option, and decided against it for various reasons. My question is specifically about how to test the battery, and...
I am reasonably certain that the traction battery in my 2005 Prius is failing (among other problems, some of which might well be caused by the...
Thanks, northwichita! I'll take it to the shop again, and let them sort it out. It did look like there actually was quite a bit of fluid flow, but...
