Anyone install xm radio receiver in the 08 Sequoia? by hdfatboy

I'm curious if anyone has yet installed an xm radio receiver with the factory Nav unit? Did you use the dealer to install? Can aftermarket receivers integrate the same as the factory receiver with the Nav unit? If you used another installer and brand other than Toyota who did you use and how much did it cost? Were you satisfied?
 
Thanks for any feedback.

Ahh. Cool. What color is your Sequoia? Mine is white and a platinum. I have seen a blue one and another white one in the area with a gold letter package on it.

Has anyone else noticed that the maps in the NAV on the sequoia seem to be a bit dated? I am running in to areas where my NAV seems to not know the roads. My wife's Nuvi shows them fine.

Gas card promotion... by mackabee

Our store is taking a page right out of Chrysler's playbook but seems Mr. Press got it wrong so we are making it better.
 
As most of you know Chrysler is offering a gas card in lieu of rebates or special financing. The smart consumer will probably won't fall for it. I'm amazed the former CEO of Toyota Motor Sales USA came up with this bonehead idea.
 
Our take on it is this: On all Limited Sequoias
$5000.00 off MSRP plus a $4000.00 dollar gas card.
On Tundra Limited CrewMax $4000.00 off MSRP and a $3000.00 gas card.
 
NO CATCH NO GAMES
 
Basically it breaks down like this:
Sequoia
$600.00 discount
$400.00 college or military rebate
$2000.00 rebate from Toyota
$2000.00 owner loyalty rebate
Total $5000.00

 
On the Tundra is the same but the amounts are different:
$600.00 discount
$400.00 college or military rebate
$3000.00 rebate
Total $4000.00

 
Since our objective for this month is 300 new cars we are pulling all the stops. I hope it drives traffic to the store. We have so many cars and trucks on the lot that it's becoming almost impossible to find a parking space for the employees. !

2008 Toyota Sequoia - Safety Ratings? by aj4321
May 14, 2008 (10:29 am)

One of my issues with the Sequoia is the safety ratings.
Front Driver - 5 stars
Front Pass - 4 stars
Side Front/Rear - not tested
 
I think that rating is very weak given so many SUVs are getting 5 stars front and side (GM, Ford, Honda) these days. It seems like passive safety isn't Toyota's biggest priority.However, I do believe active safety is a Sequoia strength.
 
If someone has a different point of view I'd like to know. This probably might be the only reason I won't buy a Sequoia.

Regarding your question about my Platinum with 0% 60 months.
 
I made my deal on the last day in April, when they were offering 0% 24 months for a Platinum. I made sure that if the deal was better in May the better deal would apply. On May 1st I asked the salesperson about the new deals. He said they now have 0% 60 months. When I picked up the vehicle on May 2nd the dealer wrote up my deal/contract with 0% 60 months for the Platinum. Maybe it was a mistake....maybe there was some confusion. The loan appears to be in effect as I just called the bank and it has the correct term per my deal.

Why would the Side Front/Rear be "not tested". Does the manufacturer choose what to have tested?

I think it is voluntary. Here is the test results from the gov't site:

Use the center drop down menu to get the Sequoia results.
 
Also, here is the test for the new Tundra with the Insurance Institute (the Sequoia was not tested):

OTD price 4x2 Limited by penaddict1
May 16, 2008 (7:33 pm)

Hi guys,
I was quoted $45455 plus Tax, License & Doc fees and the OTD price $49400 for a 4x2 Limited with NV, EY, SR, PB, CT, RL, RF but the dealer back off just when I was about to go to sign paper and pick up the truck. They said that it's cash price only but asked me to apply for credit through the dealer web site to check to make sure I qualify for the 0% financing. They want $50700 for OTD price now. What do you think? I found it's hard to find a rear bench seat with every option like this one in Southern California. I am willing to pay $50K exactly out the door. Is it an Ok price? Or should I not even deal with this dealer.
