EV button installation
Just wondering if anyone has done the EV button modification? I am looking at buying the mod from Coastal Electronic Technologies. That website makes the mod sound simple, but is it? Anyone done this specific mod? Is it worth it?

Coastal has a retty bad rep when it comes to their customer service.

Re: EV button installation
I know the button goes in one of the black spots to the left and of the steering wheel. But I have 3 spots, one for the dash dimmer switch. One would be for the EV switch, for the Prius sold in other countries. But what is the other spot for?

1 hour, $5 in Radio Shack parts, and a drill press - super easy.

Re: EV button installation
I bought the coastal tech EV Button. It didnt work when i got, it, and they sent a new one to me at no cost wth a return pre-paid envelope. Of course i had to call 2 times to get the part.
It is an interesting button. Worth the price? Probably not. Neat toy? Yeah. Do i use it often? Rarely.
Does that help?
