Replying to: vernschillinge (Apr 29, 2008 7:02 am) Thank you for that information!! A couple more questions - Is there anyway to find out what dealer is getting that vehicle? If not, do you recommend a dealer that you used? Do you know if a dealer in CAT (Pennsylvania) can get that vehicle from the dealer in the SET? |

I am considering the purchase of a Sequoia in the SET region (I am in the CAT region). There are some options on the SET region vehicle that I am not familiar with. Does anyone know the dealer cost for the following options: Toyoguard Plus $699 EH30 Rear Entertainment System $1999 (in headrests) TW20 Window Tint $159 TG10 Color Keyed Fender Flares $699 and how about the SET TDA? Is it $500? and what are the "dealer Fees" of $499? Is this just extra $ for the dealer?? Any other info regarding SET dealers and how they work is appreciated. |

The vehicle I am looking at has the EH30: Rear Entertainment System which is supposedly a system with the screens in the back of the passenger and driver headrest. First question - where is the "head unit" or the part into which you put the DVD? Second question - Does this unit 100% integrate with the front system - the same as a factory installed entertainment system? Does everything operate properly?? Third question - if the screens go on the back of the headrests, how do they do that? Do they just "stick" them onto the back of the headrests or are they countersunk into the headrest?

Only way to find out which dealer has that particular vehicle is by trial and error. Start with dealers in and around the major metropolis' in the Southeast states. When I was trying to determine the SET inventory, it took me about 2 hours to determine which dealers stocked which Platinum vehicles. Don't know about intra-region trades. Again, at the price you're talking about, it doesn't leave a whole lot of margin for the dealers to play with in order to facilitate a trade. |

There is no headunit part, the DVD loads into a slot on the top of the player itself. The controls are behind the screen that flips down. Unit is not a factory Toyota unit, it is made by a Company that port installs for SET, called Invision Industries. Check out their website for additional details - Invisionindustries There is no integration with the factory NAV. Sound is through either the wireless headsets or through FM modulation, there is no hard connection to the factory audio system. The headrests are replaced with like ones that have the unit built into them. From what I understand the match is supposed to be spot on with the factory leather. Again, check out their website. |

I got a great price, but frankly, was treated like complete crap throughout the process -- no visibility on real delivery date, extremely rude sales manager, "half truths" on multiple occasions. I was able to take the "pressure" in order to lock in the most competitive deal in my local area. In hindsight, not sure I'd go through it again....wasn't worth the grey hairs that have sprouted up since. Plan to pay them back with the same coin on their CSI service. Don't want to reveal the name of the dealer. |

Replying to: ratomlinson (Apr 29, 2008 3:47 pm) Toyoguard is nothing more than an overpriced can of wax. You'll find it in the glove compartment. Supposedly it's the paint sealant that's applied at the port and you get a can of it for subsequent applications. Window tint? It already has the factory window tint. As far as TDA they have another name for it since they don't use Toyota's advertising. They do have a whopping $699.00 Admin fee that will show up on their invoice. The screens for the dvd system are recessed into the headrests. There's several after market systems that are installed that way. You can check them out at link title The fender flares are also another SET exclusive. They did the same thing with the Tundra. The look good and will probably enhance the looks of the new Sequoia. Good luck, you will need it. Mack

Going forward if I am ever in the market for another Toyota I will probably strong considering going to Virginia to buy outside SET. With re: to the fender flairs, I don't think they look nice on the Sequoia. They don't flow well with the body lines and look like an add on. Additionally the black rubber strip on the top of the fender flairs stand out against the body color, making them look like an afterthought. Also saw one vehicle on the lot (slate) where the paint on the fender flairs didn't quite match the body color, was clearly visibly off in direct sunlight. Hate to break it to you, but your chances of securing this particular vehicle at the price you mentioned earlier, it probably slim to non. For your sake, I'd love to be proved wrong. |
