Replying to: rpfingsten (Oct 17, 2008 10:22 pm) Hey, here are some pics of the two in my '06 XLS. I don't see why Yota would have made any changes in the '07. Nevertheless I find them both poorly placed, but they do the job. Please excuse the mess in the consoles!

Replying to: tjc78 (Oct 19, 2008 3:35 am) Tjc... thanks for the pics on the outlets, but I'm still alittle confused... I recognize the first pic... found that one in my car day one... but not sure where the second pic comes from. Is that in the "same" compartment that the first outlet is in or is it located elsewhere?

Replying to: rpfingsten (Oct 20, 2008 12:18 am) Its in the rear compartment . Can't see how you could miss it. Replies to this message: nimimi (Oct 20, 2008 5:35 am) tjc78 (Oct 20, 2008 5:49 am) rpfingsten (Oct 21, 2008 12:22 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: algee (Oct 20, 2008 2:31 am) I don't think he realizes that there IS a large, rear compartment underneath the sliding arm rest. Replies to this message: tjc78 (Oct 20, 2008 5:49 am) rpfingsten (Oct 21, 2008 12:22 am) tjc78 (Oct 21, 2008 3:11 am)

Replying to: nimimi (Oct 20, 2008 5:35 am) Nimimi.. I think you hit it on the head. Roland: The sliding armrest has a large bin underneath it. You can only open it if the armrest is slid all the way to the back of the car. That is where you will find the outlet.

Replying to: tjc78 (Oct 20, 2008 5:49 am) Tjc.... thanks for the reply... I knew about the "compartment" under the arm rest, but when you said "under" the arm rest, I thought you meant under the entire arm rest assembly. To me, that's "inside" the arm rest. anyway pulled all my "stuff" out of the compartment and I'll be darned if there isn't another outlet there... but I gotta tell you, what a useless place to put an outlet. About the only thing I think "that" outlet would be good for is charging your phone / while leaving your phone inside the arm rest. I don't think the Toyota brain trust had their thinking caps on when they designed that. You know, instead of a "cassett player" in the dash, I would have much preferred an electrical outlet there + maybe a bluetooth connection.. At least there you wouldnt have cords stretched out from the radar detector to halfway across the front half of the car....nope, don't think they thought this one thru. and thank you again for the help finding the outlet.

Replying to: rpfingsten (Oct 21, 2008 12:22 am) No problem. IMO the single biggest ergonomic flaw in this generation Avalon is the power ports. My '03 had one in the dash that was very convenient. Anyway... I'll take this one little gripe in an otherwise excellent vehicle. Mine is at the shop this week getting some bodywork done and although I like my little S-10 pickup I miss my Avalon!
#14614 of 14778 iPOD interface - 2005 Avalon JBL stereo by doobre Oct 22, 2008 (10:18 pm)
Hope this may be of interest to you.. thought I would let you know that I have installed the USA-SPEC PA15 ipod interface along with a 6th generation ipod classic. The install is very easy as long as you are not rough on the plastic fascia pieces. The sound is good quality but lower level than the internal CD. The charging works well, but the CD text does not (not too much of an issue). The only real bummer is that the ipod starts at the same place in the same file everytime it is used, not even an MP3 file, an audiobook..!? I have tried setting the dip switches to every combination but no change. And sometimes the text will work for one 'switch on' of the stereo, then not again. I have found a dip switch setting that works well for quick control of switching between songs or playlists etc... (not one shown in the install instructions) but I cannot get the ipod to startup in the place that it stopped at when it was last used. cheers Doobre Replies to this message: tjc78 (Oct 23, 2008 3:21 am) xxagon (Oct 27, 2008 7:03 am)
#14615 of 14778 great car xenon H Light issue only by neil5 Oct 23, 2008 (1:47 am)
My HL on driver side does not auto balance anymore but illuminates OK. Had the dealership adjust once it worked OK then stopped Auto balance. Anyone have this?
#14616 of 14778 Re: iPOD interface - 2005 Avalon JBL stereo [doobre] by tjc78 Oct 23, 2008 (3:21 am)
Replying to: doobre (Oct 22, 2008 10:18 pm) The charging works well, but the CD text does not I have the same problem with the Peripheral Electronics interface. It wiped out the CD text and doesn't display text from the IPOD. Not a deal breaker at all. I like being able to control the Ipod from the steering wheel and the sound quality is great but as yours a little lower than the CD player. The PE interface leaves the IPOD wherever you left it playing, not sure what could be causing yours to start in the same place all the time.
