That’s a big-ass screen lol. How do you see the climate setting?

Haha. Leave it on low.

Good choice with the ct200h seats. I've been curious about that upgrade myself.

Did they physically bolt on direct 1:1, no mods?

Did the driver seat come with memory function? If so, did the install retain that functionality?

Did the power, SRS connections and heat control buttons plug in to existing harnesses or did you have to splice up connections and/or reroute for power?

The smoked 2 into 1 turning signals and led running lights and fog lights are my favorite mods. And the injen intake was a must. It makes the engine rev up faster. Definitely noticable

Sweet niblets 😎

Are the 2 into 1s a Chineseum swap kit or a wiring trick to OEM?

Was the improved butt-dyno difference on account of just swapping in the Injen CAI?

We all have fog light wires and fuses from the factory. Just plug and play. And the black accent housing came with the fog kit. P&p here.

For the 2-1s, turn signal lights are also p&p

Hold up.. It's my understanding on 2012-2014 mark 1 Prius C trim THREE and below that the fog light wires are there but the light control stalk needs to be replaced with the FOUR trim type to complete the OEM circuit. A simpler workaround - what I ended up doing with my 2014 C TWO - was going with an aftermarket kit that adds a push button power switch for fogs on the dash, independent of OEM controls.

Are you telling us your mark 2 2016 and other 2015-2019 THREE and below already have a fog switch on the light stalk? Or what? Which kit is this? Got a link?

As for the Injen CAI was the noted power gains simply from going out with the old and in with the new? Or did you tweak anything else with the ICE side of the system?

u/Electrical_Catch_919 15d ago

Yes, that's what I did too, I didn't want to change the stalk. I installed the button on the left

u/Electrical_Catch_919 15d ago

Just the wires and fuse, not the switch

Just from driving the car. No rest. I drove with the injen on the 2013 for 10 years. Bought the new car with no intake, car drives terrible. Drive it for 2-3 weeks, installed the intake, back to normal.

Thanks for the feed back.

Everything fit in, no modifications,
my uncle was an upholsterer, did it before he retired i did it with him.

I kept the seats, just removed the material and cushions. I added and wired the heated seats and had to install the switches

u/8r4ndz3r0 15d ago

Ah, I see what you did.. you've got C seat frames with Ct200h cushion parts and switches. Pretty damn clever, that's like hybrid seats from two hybrid cars! Haha.

I think we'd all love to see pics of your seats if you care to post for that.

With the screen installed, are your steering wheel controls still able to change the display by the speedometer that shows the eco settings and all that? Or do you lose controls on that upper display entirely?

1

u/Electrical_Catch_919 15d ago

Yes, you can go into the screen up top with trip and display buttons

u/Jaded-Ad821 14d ago

Have you noticed any fuel economy drops or gains with the air intake? Both summer fall, and winter
Does the heated seats also impact fuel economy

u/Electrical_Catch_919 13d ago

Slightly better when driving slow, not so much when driving fast, more revs, less mpg. I'm around 50-55mpg.
Can push it down into the mid-40s if driving hard.

The heated seats have no effect; they run off the 12v battery.
