#5217 of 14780 Re: What's this? [3puttmax] by dcallies May 03, 2005 (2:23 pm)
Replying to: 3puttmax (May 03, 2005 7:55 am) I think the black little box is the re-coil for the rear seat belts. If you look closer, there are three of them that match the location of the seat belts.   I don't know what the L-shaped thing is but I'm hanging my jumper cables on it. Keeps things off the trunk floor.   You may be right about them being part of the reclining seats but it still makes a great hanger...

Replying to: mexcar (May 03, 2005 10:22 am) mexcar, I just pulled an invoice on an XL to see if the JBL system is listed, It is not, the standard system is the am/fm/cd cassette combo with 9 speakers. The optional system adds the in dash 6 cd changer. I would venture to say it's probably made by JBL since the stereo systems in all trim levels of the Avalon share the same faceplate. Usually the stereo that Toyota uses in their vehicles are made by Fujitsu Ten unless they are equipped with JBL or Pioneer systems.                      Mackabee
#5219 of 14780 What's this stuff in trunk? by 3puttmax May 03, 2005 (3:05 pm)
Bear with me as I try again to post this photo, hosted on my personal account with SBC/Yahoo.   Attached photo shows underside of upper trunk area, right side. What is the L-shaped black thing? There is a matching one on the left side. Also, what is the big black box? My 2000 Avalon has the same big black box, but not the 2 L-shaped things.    I have a Limited. Does this thing exist on the other models?    Max

Replying to: bakeroid (May 03, 2005 5:40 am) I have the Cassis Pearl. It's gorgeous. Sparkles brilliantly in the sunlight. If I knew how to post a picture I would, but I don't know how. I love it - until I put it up next to a black car then I kind of wish I had bought black. But I had a 2000 black Avalon and my husband and son thought I should get another color. It is very pretty, though, and I am about to get the gold package put on it. I had a 98 that color with gold pkg and it looked very nice. Gold package is aftermarket - Toyota doesn't have it yet. You'll love the color, though, unless you are hung up on black like I am. Replies to this message: barclay3 (May 03, 2005 4:11 pm) lnt (May 03, 2005 5:34 pm) cafpaf (May 04, 2005 5:42 am) mikes.

Replying to: havalongavalon (May 02, 2005 10:19 pm) The shifting of gears and revving of engine annoy me after having such a quiet engine and smooth shifting in my old Avalon. I guess it is the drive by wire throttle and we'll just have to live with it. My son said it made it sound more sporty - but I don't like that kind of sportiness. I don't like feeling and hearing every time it shifts gears - makes me think I'm driving a manuel transmission vehicle! Replies to this message: just__me (May 03, 2005 4:16 pm)
#5222 of 14780 Re: any squeaks? [njny] by deanie May 03, 2005 (3:19 pm)
Replying to: njny (May 03, 2005 6:16 am) Hi: I have the same tiny faint (very faint) squeak coming from the area where the base of the windshield and the dashboard meet. I live in Rockville, Maryland, and bought the car in early April, and the temps have been fluctuating 20-30 degrees recently (30's-40's in the AM and 60's-70's in teh PM).   Though it may be temperature related, it'll get worse over time as time and temp fluctuations and vehicle flex do their work, unless the source of the squeak is found and fixed - unlikely. I'd never let mechanics open up the dash to merely fix a tiny squeak and open up a new can of worms (more possible squeaks) should the dash not be screwed together as well as when done by the factory.   Regards, Deanie Replies to this message: havalongavalon (May 03, 2005 7:46 pm) njny (May 04, 2005 6:19 am) havalongavalon (May 04, 2005 6:45 am) avalonbob (May 04, 2005 7:56 am) deanie (May 04, 2005 6:33 pm)

Replying to: lnt (May 03, 2005 3:13 pm) Hi Int...Now I remember that you got the Cassis Pearl too! That makes 3 of us. Is gold pin striping included in the gold package you are getting?   Cafpaf...Which pin striping looked best to you? Replies to this message: lnt (May 03, 2005 5:34 pm) cafpaf (May 04, 2005 5:42 am)

Replying to: fin (May 02, 2005 7:03 pm) Thanks, fin, very much. Being a non-mechanical type, I appreciate your lucid explanation. Makes good sense that that more gears result in more shifiting. Looks like havalongavalon can scratch this "problem" from his list.   Best wishes,   pricecutter

Replying to: lnt (May 03, 2005 3:18 pm) I don't know about this wire throttle stuff, but I can absolutely tell you I don't hear any shifting of gears on my XLS, I don't even know the car is shifting, it's so quiet. So maybe you ought to bring it in and have it checked. The only time I hear my engine is when I stomp down on the accelerator for the fun of it and hear that Beautiful soft controlled whine that sounds like quality pushing all the rods and firing all the cylinders like a putty cat.
#5226 of 14780 XM Satellite Radio by jcu1963 May 03, 2005 (4:30 pm)
I have received a quote from a dealer via the internet on an '05 Limited that includes XM Satellite radio. The price quoted by him for the vehicle is more than fair, but he has indicated that the satellite radio price "includes the satellite ready receiver, but not the special antenna or the the monthly service fee."   I am wondering if others who have purchased the satellite radio have encountered anything like this.   Thanks.   Pete Replies to this message: 3puttmax (May 03, 2005 6:28 pm)
