Hey Josh, the Kat's block heater part # KH11813 does come with instructions and a chart on where to find the correct cartridge to install in your 2009 Toyota Prius. I will say they aren't super detailed but the install isn't super difficult. It's mainly just a matter of feeling around on the block where the cartridge should be till you find the correct hole and then slipping the heater in. It's not overly complicated at all.
