Small XM antenna installation by 3puttmax

Thanks to havalongavalon for describing how to insert photo file.
 
This is a picture of the small Terk XM antenna, installed just underneath the windshield. Almost invisible, and reception is fine. See posts 4682 & 4718 if you want more info.

Jusr received my Phantom Grey Pearl Limited and went straight to local alarm shop to install parking sensors. All they offered me was black sensors, which I didn't think would look good on Grey Pearl. Anyone had experience with finding right color rear parking sensors?
Thanks

ryandse, welcome to Avalon Country. You may be a demographic outrider for now, but this is changing fast; you may be mainstream before you know it!
 
Thanks. I suppose it takes folks like us to look past these stereotypes and know engineering excellence when we see it.
 
The Prius is really loaded with complex new technology and is a hot seller, so I was shocked to read about the occasional but very serious, potentially very dangerous and expensive failures that are reported there.
 
Whoa, this is troubling. What are these failures? Could you post some links to articles where you have read about such failures?

Bushka: I'm one who has purchased the 7yr/100k/$0ded warranty from Greenfield Toyota. The Vehicle Service Agreement paperwork sure looks like that backed by Toyota. It has a Toyota logo. It is listed as "Toyota Extra Care, P.O. Box 9550, Cedar Rapids, IA" and has "Platinum" at the top. Under section titled "VEHICLE SERVICE AGREEMENT" is the following:
 
"This agreement is between the Agreement Holder ("You" or "Your") specified in the Vehicle Service Agreement Information and Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc. ("TMIS")."
 
Prior to receiving the agreement from Toyota I received a copy of the application that Toyota of Greenfield sent to Toyota. At the upper right hand corner is the Toyota Financial Services logo. At the bottom is this statement:
 
"Toyota Financial Services is a service mark of Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc."

I've read in other forums about a back up sensor system that doesn't have to be visible, which means you don't have to drill any holes, or have the wrong colors. It's put behind the bumper, and the warning unit was mounted under the rear deck, where the speakers are housed. I think it was on an Acura TL forum, and a few people were raving about them because you didn't have to damage the car to have them installed. It would be nice if it was an option on these cars now, but it isn't, and I know I wouldn't be drilling holes in my brand new car. I also remember them being rather inexpensive which makes them another plus. I hope this helps in some little bit.....

Hi Max,
 
I'm afraid the picture you tried to insert did not appear in your post #5166 (at least it's not visible from my computer). You may want to try again. Sorry about that. I guess the procedure is not that simple...
 
Best wishes,

Is this the one you are referring to? Would anyone happen to have any links for more information on this or any competing products?.
