Replying to: desertguy (Dec 15, 2004 11:25 am) Thanks, desertguy.   The site has drop-down lists where one chooses the model and year, but both of my Toyotas are 2005 models (Corolla and Highlander) and the latest model year I see is 2004. Do you think I can just order accessories for the 2004 model years?   I guess I can e-mail them and ask...   SDE Replies to this message: desertguy (Dec 15, 2004 2:22 pm)

Replying to: sde (Dec 15, 2004 12:30 pm) As far as I know there is little change to either but I would email them to make sure. I am surprised they have not updated the site but I know the Florida hurricanes really slammed them. In fact they had a hurricane sale a couple months ago and I got a rear cargo mat and dash mat for my '04 HL 25% off.
#761 of 1400 Programmable door locks? by jbollt Dec 23, 2004 (6:19 am)
This may not be the right forum to post this, but my post in the HL problems board seems to have gotten lost amid the controversy over the hesitation issue...so I will try here to see if anyone has an answer for me. Thanks in advance... I understand that the keyless remote/door locks can be programmed so that one push of the unlock button on the remote will unlock all the doors, rather than only the driver's door. I would like this functionality. Does anyone here know the process??? Thanks Replies to this message: goldston (Dec 23, 2004 6:57 am)

Replying to: jbollt (Dec 23, 2004 6:19 am) Good morning JBolt,   I know I've seen the question, but I'll damned it I can remember the answer (must be getting old). As a suggestion, you might want to try the search option on leftside bar, or just call the dealership and ask for some tech. support.   Best regards, Philip
#763 of 1400 Remote Car Starter by bobchandler Dec 23, 2004 (12:43 pm)
I bought a '04 Highlander in June - it's now December and I live in Buffalo and am looking for a Remote Starter - I do not need an alarm with it. I'm told I need to have one of my keys "wired in", because of the key chip. Does anyone have experience or advice on this subject? Any comments welcome Replies to this message: gklatv (Dec 24, 2004 6:11 am)

Replying to: bobchandler (Dec 23, 2004 12:43 pm) Yes, it is correct. Your extra key is wired-in to override the engine immobilizer. This is needed only if your model has this option, however. If your HL has a factory keyless entry with remote, you may consider combining both functions (remote start and keyless entry) on just one new remote. It sure beats carrying two on your key ring. And this, most likely, would increase the distance range of remote operation. You'll need to find a reputable installer who knows how to do that, thou. On my '03 HL Ltd. the factory security system is combined with the DEI Viper remote system and is using the Viper remote.
#765 of 1400 Anybody installed the 3M ClearMask...... by bobgordon Dec 27, 2004 (4:24 pm)
Have any of you installed the 3M ClearMask tape on the front of their HL's? I'm looking at doing (myself) the bumper and grill areas and your thoughts/experiences would be appreciated. TIA! Replies to this message: landdriver (Dec 27, 2004 5:09 pm) bobgordon (Dec 27, 2004 6:23 pm)

Replying to: bobgordon (Dec 27, 2004 4:24 pm) I once installed clearmask tape (not sure whether it was 3M). Obviously wash, rinse and dry the area where it is to be applied, and then clean with alcohol using a soft scratchless cloth. I had the misfortune, when applying one of the sheets, of the wind kicking up between the moment I removed the backing and the moment I applied the sheet to the vehicle -- even though it wasn't a dusty area, still there is dust in the air and any air-borne particles upon making contact with the adhesive will of course immediately adhere. The result was the sheet exhibited a slightly bumpy surface after it had been applied to the vehicle. Bottom line is to prevent any dust from entering the operation. Wear non- or low-lint producing clothing; contain loose hair; consider wetting-down the garage floor or driveway to better trap dust; if in an enclosed area wait half an hour for dust to settle and try to not kick up any dust; and gently wipe the vehicle surface once with a tack rag (a ~$1 sticky cloth available from paint stores that dust will adhere to) immediately before applying the clearmask (i.e., think "cleanroom"). Also, think about and practice placing the sheet in the proper spot before removing the backing -- if you get it wrong, I doubt you will be able to remove and reapply the same sheet a second time.   Overall I have mixed feelings about the stuff. It looks really cool at first and works as advertised in preventing pitting from road debris. But after a few years its surface looses its luster and begins to look dull (at least that's the case on my roommate's Audi). My preference is to avoid it except specifically in areas subject to excessive road debris exposure. But it does look really cool. Replies to this message: bobgordon (Dec 27, 2004 6:23 pm)

Replying to: landdriver (Dec 27, 2004 5:09 pm) Thanks LD, I've installed in over all the headlight assemblies on our late model cars/suv's and think it's great. I'm not sure if the material used on the headlights (thick 3M acrylic) is the same as the material ClearMask uses. The difference is of course the headlight lens is clear so I'm just wondering how it will look on a painted surface. All the crap kicked up on the road plays hell with the front bumper. If it is the same thickness as the headlight covers, it will be a pain to install. Even for the headlights, one needs to use a hair dryer to make the contours form, plus a spray bottle of alcohol/distilled water solution. Thanks!
