Sunroof OR 3rd Row Seats by exoman1
Mar 09, 2005 (5:40 pm)
Reply
We've been car shopping this week and have settled on either the SR5 4Runner or Honda Pilot. The Pilot EX-L has leather, 3rd row seat, sunroof, and LOTS of other creature comforts. In our opinion, the Pilot has the nicer interior of the two. We are willing to concede the leather in the 4Runner, however definitely want BOTH 3rd row seating as well as sunroof. From all the inventory I have seen as well as Toyota website, I just learned that you can have one or the other but not both at SR5 or Limited trim levels! How ridiculous is that?!? The only way to have both is to get an aftermarket sunroof which we're apprehensive about. Anyone have experience with an aftermarket sunroof in the 4Runner?

For some general comments, try the Moonroofs & Sunroofs: Which are better, factory or aftermarket? discussion.

Packman, same question as David regarding land
Can you tell me what town/area you are near and the cost, what land is going for, how you found the property(agent, ect)? Additionally, is there more land available there? My email address is skipjakkyahoo.com Thanks.

Towing mirrors by glenski01

Does anybody know about any type of towing mirrors available for an 04 4Runner sport. Prefer something that fits over existing mirror like CIPA makes for Ford & Chev products, but am open to ideas. So far all I have found are mirrors that are very generic and clamp onto side of car, not very attractive at ALL!
 
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

satellite radio install screwed up heat/ventilation? by asl87501
Mar 22, 2005 (9:10 am)

Best Buy installed a satellite radio, new reciever, and 4 new speakers in my 2004 4runner. Afterwards the heat seemed to have on setting: totally on (or else I turn it off). Could they have misconnected/damaged hoses or thermostat during the install?
I know they broke my lock mechanism on a rear door, and sent
me off with the 2 upfront speakers rattling in the door: they seem incompetent. Do I now go back and fight with them about this?
Thanks!

I can't imagine walking away, or in your case driving away HOT, from this situation. It seems like you should return to the store and ask calmly to talk to the manager. Write down beforehand all of the problems which you found immediately after the installation. Show your list to the manager and ask what he is willing to do to make it right. I would guess that Best Buys also has a customer complaint (800) phone number. If the store manager gives you no satisfaction, call the corporate number. I would guess that the radio connection used an under-dash power source, which may interfere with the heating system. This may cause a drop in voltage which causes the solenoid controlling the heat valve to malfunction; it may send an erroneous signal to one of the computers which then reacts by keeping on the heat. In any case, the installation is unacceptable, and you should assertively (not aggressively) insist that it be made right. The door lock may simply be a wire behind the inner door covering which was not reconnected (electric locks?) and the speaker rattle may be a slight misplacement of the speakers, cured by insulating the screws from the metal of the inner door. Both are fixes which the installer should correct. I wouldn't threaten or even mention small-claims court, but that may be your recourse if Best Buys doesn't stand behind their (shoddy) work.

thanks packman. to their credit they did tell me they broke the lock and have that part on order but i had to push them to order it asap. When i drove off and heard the rattle i drove back and they then fixed that. But then a couple days later i noticed the heat (hadn't needed it for a couple days) issue. I just wanted to be sure that there was a logical connection to them messing around under the dash, which from your comments I gather there definitly is. Now I'll go fight with them about that. It gets old.
                My advice: AVOID BEST BUY INSTALLS.

I'll add to that: AVOID CIRCUIT CITY INSTALLS
 
Don't go anywhere except REAL car audio shops. Same goes for home entertainment installation.
