#273 of 691 Can you play DVD-R/DVD-RW in a Toyota DVD? by cincyguy Oct 25, 2003 (6:10 pm)
I have recently ordered a new 2004 Sienna with the factory DVD player. Does anyone know who makes these players for Toyota and what model it is? Specifically, I am trying to determine if you can play a DVD-R/DVD+R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW formatted DVD in this player? I know some players do and others don't. I am trying to determine if it would be good to buy a DVD recorder (and if so, what format recorder is necesssary) to transfer my kids VHS tapes over. Alternatively, I might need to buy all these titles again on DVD if it does not. Many thanks to anyone who can shed some light on this issue for me.

Anyone know the specs for the headlights (low and high beam) on 04 Sienna?
#276 of 691 Weathertech cargo mats by oursea Nov 02, 2003 (6:42 am)
I have been reading that the Weathertech cargo mat (behind 3rd seat) when installed will not allow the seats to be folded back. I emailed then and asked. They replied that the seats can be folded down. Does anyone have any experience with this as of recent? Also they have just updated their webpage and increased their prices: Black $79, all others $119. That is a big price increase. I did find the grey for $71 on another site. Thanks...

You can fold the seat down, after removing the mat. This will likely work to your favor as you don't want you nice clean seat sitting on a plastic liner that has spilled OJ or other sticky substance on it.   I have seen pics that show a seat folded onto the mat and due to the design of the folding mechanism Toyota made, it is impossible to create a mat with high sides that won't be folded along the one edge by the folding seat.   I think its pretty easy to just pull the mat up and leave it on top of the folded seat.   I have also seen a nice use of a few Rubbermaid containers that fit in the area very well. I have seen some with 10 gallon and others use the 16 gallon containers. I think I will likely use a waterproof mat with Rubbermaid containers.
#278 of 691 frustrated with Sienna options packages... by iwannasienna Nov 03, 2003 (12:18 pm)
Hello, I just found this board and I guess all I can do is VENT my experience with wanting a Sienna LE with package #7 (safety package, adds traction control, etc.) and package #11. Dealer insists I can't do this unless I go up to the 8 passenger AWD or the XLE, which is adding so much stuff I don't want. There must be others out there who want the safety and also the upgraded entertainment system but NOT all the other stuff that would jack the price up over the $35,000 range. If I can get over my irritation with Toyota for their option packaging, I'm going to buy the LE with package #7 and upgrade the stereo & add DVD, although I would much prefer the factory installed. I'd love to hear if anyone elese has done a similar upgrade, how it turned out, and how much it cost.   Thanks for listening!!
#279 of 691 04 Sienna XLE LTD DVD by jerryc8 Nov 06, 2003 (7:23 pm)
I just got my 04 XLE LTD with Nav and DVD. It comes with a pair of wireless head phone. Is there any way that I can play the DVD with the existing speakers in the car? Thanks.
#280 of 691 LE 7 with Package 7 by kmead Nov 06, 2003 (8:16 pm)
I believe you can get a LE 7 with package 7. Check with some other dealers. The issue comes down to wait time, many people will not wait 3-4 months for the product they want.   Most dealers want to sell just what they have or is most available.   There are some alternatives to drop down DVD screens. Among the many choices are small portable ones, larger portables that hang from head rests or even head rest mounted screens like those from visualogic. Putting one head rest screen in on the passenger seat can be seen by all rear passengers and they don't have to crane their necks to see it.   I bought an inexpensive DVD player at Target and 2 PS1s with screens for my two boys. They now have the choice of a movie, PS1 games, or a CD of their own choosing. Altogether I spent 370 bucks. Depending on what you want you may want more. I couldn't justify having a much more expensive entertainment system in my car than I have in my house. That and being able to take my system to any car I own with no installation hastles. Also if any part fails, I can just buy another or add another for my 3rd child (who I didn't have when I bought the rest of the stuff).
#281 of 691 Play DVD thru speakers by steph280 Nov 10, 2003 (12:55 pm)
>I just got my 04 XLE LTD with Nav and DVD. It comes with a pair of wireless head phone. Is there any way that I can play the DVD with the existing speakers in the car? Thanks.   Took a while for us to figure out, since it wasn't stated in the manual. Just play the DVD as usual, and the press the CD button on the front stereo head unit twice. First push will play the CD changer, next push will show "AUX", which pipes the DVD player audio through. But the audio volume is rather low for some reason.   HTH.   Stephen

Specifically, I am trying to determine if you can play a DVD-R/DVD+R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW formatted DVD in this player?   I am trying to find out the make and compatible media as well. So far I have tried Ricoh/Ritek DVD+R and DVD+RW, both shows "DVD Error". It did play VCD recorded on some generic CD-R fine though.   I believe the DVD problem is due to media type. Someone has suggested me DVD-R, but my burner can't do -R. So I am going to try some other DVD+R media brands.   Stephen
