| I am looking for an aftermarket sonar backup system for my Sienna. A local electronics dealer I am familiar with offers the Echomaster sonar backup alarm for about $399 intalled. Is anyone on the board familiar with this system or have any comments about it? TIA | |

1): Does anyone here know where to buy the body-color matched mudguard? From the dealer, only black color mudguard is available. 2): do any one have experience to install the fog light? I believe there have the wire connection to the fog light already, because at each side closed to the position of fog light, there has one plug there. 3): My van has tow pre package. I have found the hole at the frame, but I does not find the tow wire connection. Any one can provide info here? |

There are body colored mudguards available, they are a SET option and can be had through many of the online Toyota part places. They cost about the same as the black ones as I recall. www.toyotaparts.com www.toyotaparts4u.com www.toyotapartsstore.com www.toyotaterritory.com/ color coded mudguards. Price is $37.95 for 2 pieces No one I know of has installed factory fogs. The wiring may well be there, but you need a different control stalk for the headlight switch to use the factory system. I suspect the total cost would be prohibitive relative to the value of the factroy fogs. The wiring is not in place for the tow system. You need to get the wiring harness from the dealer or get one of the better ones from an aftermarket source. There is a harness connector in the interior of the left pillar area behind behind the rear wheel. You will have to disassemble the interior panels to access it. You will also likely have to run a power wire (for a control box) to the fuse box as the lighting circuits are not fused for the added load of a trailer's lights. You may also be able to get the kit from one of the sites above. |

1): I have searched the above site, but no one provide color-matched mud-guard. ALL are black or gray mud guard. 2): For fog light, Today I go to Auto show at San Jose, and carefully check the fog light wire on XLE trim, the unused wire plug at my LE IS the wire connection to fog light. But at XLE, the headlight lamp and fog light on the same lever have two switches, while on my LE, the lever only have one switch for head light. I'm NOT sure I can use head light switch to control both head light and fog light. (I have found some other SUV/sedan use one switch to control both head light and fog light). 3): For Tow receive, since I only try to tow the bike carrier, not to tow trail, the tow wire staff may be not necessary. It looks difficult for me to DIY the tow wire. Does any one has experiment? |

Yes the XLE handle has two switches, one for the primary lights and the other for the fogs. Getting this switch will be quite expensive as will getting the factory fog lights. It is easy to wire a relay to allow a fog light to come on anytime the low beams are on. It can also be linked to parking or high beams or on anytime any light is on. This is not really the correct way to use fogs and may even be illegal in some states. There are many aftermarket fog lights that are much better than the ones Toyota has as standard. Not all things are illustrated on websites, calling or filling out a form will allow you to find other things that may be in the product catalog but not on the site. You can get a hitch at most any hitch place and requires only 6 bolts to install. If you only intend to get it for a bike rack then the wiring seems to be optional. Get a 2" reciever type as it can take the most weight and gives you the most options for different racks. The best racks need a 2" receiver. |

| Can I purchase Toyota OEM running boards for my 2004 Sienna? | |
| Are those color mudguards OEM? Has anyone out there purchased any? Any feedback? Thanks. | |

Yesterday I ordered a set of Artic Frost Pearl mud guards and they arrived today. I purchased them from a local dealership. I initially found the mud guards on a website and the local dealer came very close to matching the price. The web site is www.mytoyotaparts.com. Paul |
