#283 of 691 Better Lights by steph280 Nov 10, 2003 (1:10 pm)
I tried a pair of Sylvania "Cool Blue" lights, and it was a good improvement over stock. The 04 Sienna takes 9006 bulb type.   For the ultimate light, HID is the way to go. They provide 300% increase in light intensity. True HID light system comes with ballasts that boosts voltage to 60+ volts. These are the blue/purple lights you see on Lexus/Mercedes/BMW. However, the system is not cheap, costing between $400 to $600 just in parts. Dont bother buying those $40 bulbs that claims to be HID. They are usually just regular bulbs coated with blue tint. Real HID bulbs are clear, blue lights are from the internal gas ignited to higher energy state.   There are many retrofit kits available on the net which comes with bulbs with 9006 fittings, but these are not DOT approved for street use. However, 04 Sienna has the proper shield for the HID retrofit to aim properly, so you wouldn't blind everybody in front of you. Installation should be fairly straightforward.   Stephen
#284 of 691 Adding DVD to your 2004 Sienna by indyjones Nov 10, 2003 (7:06 pm)
without sacrificing rear audio controller...   Audiovox makes a console which does the trick. (you can check out audiovox homepage and you will see they show a 04 sienna to illustrate this). The DVD player which I am buying is VOD715 with the proper insert and I should be good to go.
#285 of 691 indyjones, re audiovox dvd by mtnbrfl Nov 11, 2003 (9:46 am)
I looked at the Audiovox website and the LCD/DVD Players PROV710/715/716/916 looks very cool. They are a little on the expensive side ($1000 for 7", $1300 for 9").   The Audiovox site only list Dodge, Ford and GM overhead consoles. Seems odd since they use photos of the 2004 Sienna. I did find a online retailer that has the Sienna console, part number is 1187097PL (Shale/Tan) and 1187098PL (Pewter/Gray). I still can't find the appropriate insert that fits the console to the lcd/player. Audiovox website's listing for inserts is useless - doesn't tell you which insert goes with which lcd/player. Anyone else have any luck?   Matt

call audiovox tech support. They will help you out with all the part numbers. I have the part # ( at work) which I can post tomorrow.
#287 of 691 Sunroof spoiler? 2004? by jake696 Nov 11, 2003 (5:43 pm)
Anyone put one of these one? I see Toyota does make them for the 2003 Sienna...
#288 of 691 after market DVD for 2004 Toyota Sienna with Rear audio controller by indyjones Nov 12, 2003 (8:10 am)
Audiovox makes it. You have two choices: ( there may be more)   1. one piece unit ( DVD built into the display unit)   VOD701 - DVD player/screen 1187097PL ( tan color console) 1187085PL ( tan color insert)   2. 2 piece unit ( dvd player is installed under the seat or in the trunk..)   VOH701 - display unit 1187097PL ( console, same as above) 1187021PL (insert for VOH701, tan)   You can call 1-800-645-4994 (audiovox application support) to get other colors model #s)   Hope this helps.

#290 of 691 portable Navigation system by marlenelin Nov 12, 2003 (2:27 pm)
I just turned down an XLE with Navi and DVD for a Ltd. without Nav, but with DVD because the XLE did not have traction control and stabilizer. I felt the safety package was more important than the Navigation system. However, I would like to purchase a Navi. system to put in the car. A portable would be fine, as long as it talks to me. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks Marlene
#291 of 691 Tranny Cooler... by mayerofrf Nov 14, 2003 (8:58 pm)
I can't remember if I posted this to this site or not. Has anyone installed an aftermarket tranny cooler to their Sienna yet? I have an '01 XLE that supposedly came with a towing package but didn't have any kind of modifications done to warrant that package (ie. tranny cooler, overload springs, hidden hitch). Down here in the Southwest the surface temps jump to over 120+ degrees and kill automatic transmissions a little quicker than normal. I'm wondering if anyone has installed an aftermaket tranny cooler where the lines didn't hang below the core support. I don't want to lose ground clearance for the fact that my wife may hit a parking block and pinch a line if the lines have to be ran below the core support. Is there such a thing as a kit where the lines run through the core support w/o losing any ground clearance?? If so, fill me in on the details on how it was done. I want to minimize of having to cut any sheetmetal if possible.
#292 of 691 Nav for any vehicle by kmead Nov 15, 2003 (6:17 pm)
On a few other web sites I frequent, the Garmin Street Pilot 2610 has gotten good reviews. It is user installable, transferable between cars and gives verbalized directions as well as a map.   Go to www.garmin.com for more information.
