Replying to: alfster1 (Apr 09, 2004 11:58 am) Hi-Can't access the photo's. Do you need to allow public access? Plus did you lose the steering wheel controls for the "standard" 4R radio?

I have restored public access to the link. Sorry about that. http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/alfbullock2000/album?.dir=/1283&- amp;urlhint=actn,del%3as,1%3af,0   Reference #452 below....   I have recently added a Terk XM Commander to my 2003 V8 4Runner Limited and had it installad at Circuit City. Their installation department actually did a pretty good job and it took them approximately 2 hours to complete.   I had the XM display unit installed on the raised lip between the cupholders and the gear selector area. It complements the interior colors very well. There is only a small protruding wire that would indicate that this was an aftermarket install, but is not very noticeable. The XM module itself is hidden in the dash while I had the extremely small magnetic antenna located on the rear right corner of the roof close to the roof rack.   The sound quality is incredible with 121 XM channels to choose from. I highly recommend this product.   Unfortunately, it is not portable as other XM units are. Also, you will lose the functionality of the steering wheel mounted controls for changing channels, but adjusting the audio volume is not affected. The XM Commander Kit also includes a wireless remote and is easy to use.   **** I believe that there is an accessory available that will preserve total functionality of the steering wheel buttons, but I am satisfied with the wireless remote provided that has an RF transmitter on both the top and bottom to ensure that the remote can be used while held in virtually in any position.   One reason I did not purchase the more portable Delphi XM Ski-Fi or Roady is because I didn't want any unsightly wires or adapters in the cockpit area. The XM Commander was cleanly installed and compliments the interior nicely.
#464 of 659 Cargo Hook question by teridemn Apr 09, 2004 (3:16 pm)
I have a 2004 V8 Limited for ~2months. I am still noticing little "gadgets" within the vehicle such as the garbage bag holder, etc. At any rate I noticed in the manual that there are hooks available in the rear cargo area to "hook" and secure a plastic grocery bag to (loop plastic bag handle over). However I do not appear to have the hook only the receptacle to receive the "hook". I asked one of the service guys & he thought it was an accessory. Although I cannot find it anywhere. Does anyone have these hooks? If so did they come with your vehicle or did you order?   Thanks for your help. Tde Replies to this message: alfster1 (Apr 09, 2004 5:35 pm)

Replying to: teridemn (Apr 09, 2004 3:16 pm) LOL, the garbage bag holder is practically a joke, imho. Basically, I think that the way it is used properly is to take a plastic shopping bag (ie. the kind you get when you grocery shop, and then try to loop it through the little notches. It is not very sturdy,but fortunately, if it is kicked out of place, it can be easily put back into position.   I suppose there might be some sort of fastener available that would work from The Home Depot.   As for the hooks in the rear cargo area,I do not think that they are available with the Limited as the Limited has the dual decker cargo feature. Practically speaking, purchasing a cargo net (if you don't have one) might be a better solution as the hooks don't hold objects heavier than a couple of pounds well.

I have the 2004 Limited with double deck cargo. What I sometimes do is hook the plastic grocery bags on the 'star' shaped things on the side of the car about 15 inches off the floor of the cargo area.   To this day I have not figured out a satisfactory position for the cargo net that came with my car. I have the spider net kind, I think. I have tried hooking it up at the upper level of the cargo area but have nothing to attach it to near the roof of the car. The best I have been able to do with it is to attach the hoops of the net to the under side of the upper cargo flooring, and attach the net hooks to the tie down hooks on the floor of the cargo area near the back door, but it still doesn't seem quite right. I welcome any suggestions as to how to propery hook up the spider cargo net.

To use the spider net, you need to use the plastic hooks on the underside of the upper cargo deck and attach the other two loops to the cargo rings just aft of the rear seats. Hope that makes sense. I'll be putting up more fotos in my Yahoo photo link shortly.    To use the "Star shaped things," you need to have the pouch type net, which is available on ebay for about $20 plus postage. At the dealer, I believe it is about $35 (your price may vary).
#469 of 659 XRES Option by netjumper Apr 21, 2004 (10:36 pm)
Can anyone tell me what do u gain by having the XREAS Option ? is it an option on the limited and not on the Sports Ed. Sounds kinda strange
#470 of 659 X reas by toyboxx Apr 22, 2004 (5:58 am)
It is standard on the Sport, optional on the Limiteds. It is for ON-road and helps reduce body roll during turns and such.   You gain a sportier on road drive and ride.

I don't have it . Mine drives just fine, turns corners flatter than any car I've driven. And it doesn't sag to one side when you park it.
