#3814 of 4699 Re: clock wrong - can't use auto [nomorebenz] by desertfox1 Nov 30, 2006 (7:41 am)
Replying to: nomorebenz (Nov 15, 2006 6:11 pm) So you are saying that the NAV system picks up the time via GPS? I have never heard of GPS downloading time. It could co-ordinate within a mapping system to know if you moved over a time zone, which is what the Auot setting is supposed to do, change the time when you drive over a time zone. The only way the car would know that is from the NAV CD, right? When I bring up he map in the NAV system, it shows the time zones properly.   You are saying that no matter where you live that when you are on daylight savings time you cannot use the Auto function since the NAV always select standard time?   The only way the car would know that is from the NAV CD, right? When I bring up he map in the NAV system, it shows the time zones properly. Replies to this message: nomorebenz (Nov 30, 2006 12:40 pm)

Replying to: garywi (Nov 28, 2006 12:05 pm) garywi,   Please keep us informed as to what they find when you bring you HL into the shop. I too notice a slight vibration in the RPM range you mention. It's slight but it's there. I thought that in 2004, they went to computer controlled motor mounts to improve smoothness.

Replying to: desertfox1 (Nov 30, 2006 7:41 am) What I'm saying is that, in Auto mode, the GPS/Nav computer picks up the standard time from the clocks on the satellites. The Daylight savings switch is just a +/-1 hour switch that works independently of the Auto mode. For more on GPS clocks: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_clock#GPS_clocks.

Replying to: tomd (Nov 28, 2006 1:08 pm) It's now a little colder in AZ and the engine vibration in my steering wheel is bigger at 1800-2000 rpm. Anyone else? I will be in the shop next tuesday.
#3818 of 4699 Center Console Cupholders - Cups fall out. by garywi Nov 30, 2006 (5:58 pm)
Anyone address this issue? Put a large diet coke in your center console and then take a hard left turn. Your coke will find its way to the passenger floor. What is the fix? In my 07 RAV, Toyota placed rubber inserts into the cupholder to prevent the sloppyness. Replies to this message: master1 (Dec 03, 2006 6:17 pm) terry92270 (Dec 03, 2006 6:21 pm)

#3820 of 4699 Re: Heat Module Replacement [eben1] by wconnors1 Dec 03, 2006 (2:24 pm)
Replying to: eben1 (Nov 30, 2006 6:12 am) Just today I discovered a similar problem with my '01 Highlander. I too checked through some older threads and found others had problems with heaters only blowing hot air even when switched to AC. I'd hate to think that there is only a $900 solution. From what I've picked up in the discussions, it's not a simple do-it-yourself repair. Are there others who have had to deal with this problem and how did you resolve it. Now mind you, the extra heat at this time of year in these northern parts of Canada is not an immediate complaint. But our summers will eventually require cooler breezes.

Replying to: wconnors1 (Dec 03, 2006 2:24 pm) It is most likely a vacuum hose problem, easy to fix.

Replying to: garywi (Nov 30, 2006 5:58 pm) I don't have any problems with the cup holders. Replies to this message: terry92270 (Dec 03, 2006 6:21 pm)

Replying to: master1 (Dec 03, 2006 6:17 pm) He's talking about those huge 32+ ounce ones.   Top heavy cups will tend to fall out. Solution is to buy one size smaller. You'll survive. Trust me.
