#21 of 2119 DVD followup by cluelesspa Jul 01, 2003 (10:08 am)
yep the DVD screen runs if its flipped up or down (it doesnt shut off!!!) its on when ever you use the 6 CD/DVD changer. even in CD mode the screen is blue with the track and running time showing.   I tested it by playing the DVD in a dark location and I could see the movie showing even though the screen was flipped shut !!!
#22 of 2119 DVD and Tow Package (edited) by cluelesspa Jul 01, 2003 (10:12 am)
Yes, the tow package looks cut out ... Not factory looking like the explorers I am going to complain later today as the trim around the hole they cut was NOT done well and on top of that they scuffed the bumper (not that noticable after cleaning with armour all type stuff - Vynol) ... with no factory installed Tow option the Pacifica is limited to what you can tow anyway. But better then no option at all or I have seen minivans with the tow bar under the bumper and it seems pretty low.   the DVD I tried to see myself it seems to keep on no matter how far I close the screen up to the latching. hmmm wonder if it gets hot if you play dvds with it closed ? (see post above)   Earl
#23 of 2119 Reliability- is it as good as Kia? by smulvey Jul 01, 2003 (3:01 pm)
I have a cd player in my Kia Sedona Minivan , but it has not exhibited any of the problems descibed in the posts here.   Do you think the Kia uses a better quality than the Pacifica?   My Sedona has a very beautiful factory towing kit that I bought and installed at home. The kit was $ 400 and the hitch went on with not drilling in about 10 minutes. The wiring adapter took about 5 hours since you have to work slowly and carefully as you disassemble the various panels to gain access to the left and right side tail light connectors. The power travels under the car with a long fused and jacketed power wire. The instructinos were very well written.   I wonder if the Pacifica will have this soon?   The Sedona can tow a combined load of 3500 lbs for cargo and trailer.
#24 of 2119 Pacifica Tow Rating by cluelesspa Jul 02, 2003 (5:44 am)
the pacifica is the same rating at 3,500 with a load equalizing Hitch or 2,500 w/o. No offense but the KIA I wouldn't put in the same class as the Pacifica. I have heard horror stories about the KIA long-term reliability with their small SUVs and recalls from a guy I work with who ended up getting rid of it because of the headaches after 2 years. small things like window motors, etc.   The Tow hitch is better quality then an after market solution, its just the installing dealer was not that good as its the first one they did (can U say guinea pig) ...

#26 of 2119 Glove Box Security ?? by cluelesspa Jul 02, 2003 (8:19 pm)
did anyone get a key that only opens the doors and starts the car but NOT allow access to the glove box ? ie. the key you give the person parking your car ..   I got only 2 keys with my Pacifica
#27 of 2119 I take no response as a NO answer by cluelesspa Jul 03, 2003 (7:11 pm)
looks like Chrysler didnt provide a VALET Key so that you can give the parking attendant that key and he wont be able to get into the small and useless glovebox.   I was hoping the dealer may have forgot to give me a third key
#29 of 2119 Keys by grbelote Jul 07, 2003 (4:22 pm)
The Pacifica comes with 2 keys. I bought a third key and it's over $100. I was given a key that will allow one to unlock car but will not start car, so this would help if keys were locked in vehicle. PUNK
