Another day, another mod put back on. This morning I installed an EV switch. I have my left over one from the black car, so it was mostly just a matter of getting a connector pin out of a connector and inserting it into the right pin on a different connector. The whole install is documented very well in this pdf: http://www.calcars.org/prius-evbutton-install.pdf

Its simply a momentary switch and some wire.



You plug one end into the proper ecu pin, and the other goes to ground. Very simple.




I've also been tinkering around with a coolant temperature hack. I had this on the black car, but it never worked right. I made a few changes and it seems to be getting closer, but its still not working right...
