Look on InsightCentral on how to do this. The mod is relatively easy to do, and, like Robert mentioned, save you cash on your fill ups.

Jim.
Thanks Jim. From another site and consultant I was under impression that this mod only worked on 2000-2004 Insights. I have a 2006. I'll take a look at InsightCentral. I'd certainly install the mod if it worked. I find the difficult to control IMA activation to be something of a frustration, though opinions certainly differ on this feature. My wife obviously uses IMA a lot, from the battery SOC each time she finishes driving
