Right, and I have a 2005 L6 that DOESN'T have an AUX input. The keffufle
arose from the implication that ALL Prius except base models have an AUX
input which, as everyone now knows, was sheer nonsense.

If you would read before you flame you would realize that no such
claim was ever made in this thread. OPs question was about the 2009
Prius.
The accurate basic information was offered by Elmo (Sep3):

And also from Elmo, the accurate info to which you responded with a
flame attack (Sept 2):
>The 2009 model is identical to the 2008 model.
>Plus, there's an AUX input on all models

Nowhere does he ever claim that this has bee true before 2006, and he
clearly states that it is true starting in 2006.
Of course I also realize that you two have a history here, but in this
case even a quick reading of the thread clearly shows that Elmo
provided accurate information and your responses were not justifiable.
Note that he also clearly states the location of the aux input.
Of course some people prefer flaming to civility, so you two may
prefer to continue with your war (or to try to engage me as well).
Personally, I prefer civil and informative discourse.

You didn't go back far enough. On 9/2 "shagnasty" posted this:
"Plus, there's an AUX input on all models except for the very base model,
which virtually no one carries (and which may not be available in all
areas of the country)."
He subtly corrects himself on 9/3 after some ask where the jack is located
on the 2004/2005.
Beyond that, I have no history with "shagnasty." A further review will
illustrate that, true to his handle, he is the agitator here.

Are you saying that's wrong?

Yes. The 2005 and 2005 models didn't have an aux input. Your post on 9/2
included all models, your post on 9/3 corrected the earlier post.
