Hi everyone.
Just got a black '04 Prius and absolutely love this car.
Before I go into the details of the subject of this post, F.Y.I. let me just tell you a bit about what we get in the Prii available down here in Puerto Rico, USA.
The Prius is sold in a one model confinguration with a base price of US$23,645. That means there are no "packages" and no options; no DVD navigation, no side or curtain airbags, no JBL premium audio system and (sniff, sniff) no Bluetooth.
The things we DO get (which may or may not be options in the continental US) for the $23k are: Intermittent rear window wiper, cruise control, Dual non-heated color-keyed power outside mirrors, smart entry and start system, single CD player and the auto-dimming electrochromatic rearview mirror with HomeLink universal transceiver.
What I'm dying for is a way to add either a CD or MiniDisc (MD) changer for '04. I understand that there is a way to integrate an iPod to the system but I just love the multifunction display and would not like to lose the elegance of having the artist name and song title displayed on it.
Googling around I did find somebody who successfully added an MD changer he had shipped from Japan...but for the '03 model. Does anybody know any info about something like this but for the '04?
I also have lying around an old Kenwood KSC-WA801 powered subwoofer but haven't installed it because I just don't know enough about the electrical system of the Prius to install it. If anybody knows any info about adding a sub, let us all know by posting the info here.
Thanks everyone!
