#723 of 1400 Re: Navigation System on highlander [loucapri] by dc_driver Aug 30, 2004 (4:57 pm)
Replying to: loucapri (Aug 17, 2004 10:02 am) Check out the Magellan 700. It has all the features of the 2-3K nav systms for about 1K. It is not installed into the dash (external) so you can transfer it from one vehicle to another.. It has a 10GB internal hard drive so there is no need to switch cd's or dvd's to load maps. It has voice commands (both male and female) as well as tons of other features. I have had mine for about a month and cannot imagine life without it!

Replying to: casanova2 (Aug 30, 2004 10:51 am) The price you got quoted is right. As far as the key - it needs to be wired in to the system and be hidden somewhere for the remote starter to work (because there's a chip in the Toyota key). I don't think you need to do that, thou, if you're not installing the remote starter. I am not sure about the model number, but this price should include the whole package installed. Good luck. In my experience as a customer, the installation should take about 2 hrs., although they might want to keep the HL for a longer time to test the system throughout. A few points: 1)you can choose if they program the auto lock feature on/off (it's when starting the car with the key) 2)unlock all doors at once or the drivers door only first 3)check if the lights flash AND beep sounds when locking/unlocking 4)you probably won't be able to unlock the vehicle with the key when the alarm is ON without setting the siren. Ask them to show you how to manually override the alarm. Replies to this message: ron1690 (Aug 31, 2004 5:12 pm)

Replying to: casanova2 (Aug 30, 2004 10:53 am) My understanding is the head unit (radio/CD player) on the Highlander is a DIN 2.

Replying to: casanova2 (Aug 30, 2004 10:53 am) I had the headunit replaced. The installer didn't seem to have much problem finding the right kit. I went with the Alpine 9835 because I was able to find an XM tuner for it (the new universal tuner is not yet available). It's a terrific system and makes the standard speakers sound great. The advantage of the 9820 is that the tuner is built in. There have been some problems with the 9820, though--check out xmfan.com. One problem is the display is quite dim. Another is that units produced early in the run had a chip problem.
#728 of 1400 FLoor mats and cargo liner suggestions by sheila512 Sep 06, 2004 (8:45 am)
Here's a low tech question: My new 04 Higlander LTD needs some kind of protective floor mats. I have the carpet mats, but want to keep the car in good shape for re-sale. There are so many brands on the market. I am confused. 1. Do I need custom mats? 2. What is the difference between mats and liners? (Husky makes both) 3. Cargo liner..same questions.   Thanks for your input.   Sheila Replies to this message: edmunster (Sep 27, 2004 8:48 pm) racerx1 (Oct 06, 2004 5:43 am)
#729 of 1400 Lights on the instrumentation panel by livinginsc Sep 26, 2004 (9:01 am)
This is probably a silly question but one that hopefully there is an option for. I love my '04 Highlander with the exception of the instrumention panel, why are the lights on the panel white and the ones in the center console green? This is driving me crazy, is there anyway to make all of the lights one color? It doesn't look unified.

Replying to: sheila512 (Sep 06, 2004 8:45 am) You're better off with Toyota custom mats that offer a perfect fit - rather than take chances with generic ones that shift or bunch up. Cargo liners made out of rubber, are used in the cargo area to prevent any dirt, stains, or moisture from messing up the cargo mats. They may also contain anti-skid properties and often have a 'lip' edge to contain any liquid spills etc.   Sources: 1.

I also wanted to protect my carpeted mats because of the winters here in Western PA. I bought custom all weather mats [with "Highlander" on the front set] from toyotaparts4you.com. The four piece set cost around $65 and I think they look great. They also have a rubber cargo liner that looks sharp as well.
#732 of 1400 Considering a 05 Highlander Limited by arda Sep 28, 2004 (1:18 pm)
We are thinking of buying a 05 Limited 4x2 Highlander. I was wondering what other people are paying for limited highlanders these days. In your experience, does the Edmunds' TMV represent what the vehicles are selling for? The local dealers we talked all claimed that they will beat any published legitimate offer. How can I get the best offer so that I can get them beat it? Thanks, Arda-- Replies to this message: edmunster (Sep 28, 2004 4:58 pm)
