Replying to: mybecca (Jan 29, 2008 1:06 pm) Personally, I find auto locks quite annoying. What is there to figure out with the heating system? I leave my dial set at 73 and never change it. My kids think that cranking it up to 90 on a cold morning makes a difference, but it really doesn't. Set it and forget it.

Replying to: vinsuz (Jan 23, 2008 1:46 pm) Power lift gate - there is a button (to the right of the hand door opener) it does a couple different things too. It'll lock the car, open the car from being unlocked if you have the smart key near and obviously open the hatch auto-style. I just learned about the smart key opening up the windows and popping up the sunroof. Two clicks on un-lock and then hold to make it happen. Pet Peeves for me - Water in the side mirrors after washing. makes a big mess on the side of the newly clean car. No Trip computer - What were they thinking? I don't like the A/C thing either. Radio/Nav is very good in many areas, but changing stations and not having artist info sux. Althought I've heard that most artists/record companies choose to not put that ID tag stuff embedded in their CD. The stereo reads it off the CD's that have it programmed. Most of my pet-peeve list has shortened as I learn the advanced tricks and my love grows deeper for this car...Ok, I'm getting carried away. Temp controls - there is only one volume for the entire car. So if you passenger sets their temp to 65 and you want it at 70 - great, but they amount of air is not distinct for each side...Weak. No DVD with sunroof option I'm going to hit Tahoe in about 3 hours and can't wait to use it in the snow, AGAIN. Ceeee Yuh Dwight

Replying to: vinsuz (Jan 23, 2008 1:46 pm) When you approach your vehicle, you can disarm it by pressing a button to the right of the lift gate latch. Then just use the latch as if it were not a power lift gate. It actually opens the lift gate a little faster as you do not have to wait for the beeps. |

Replying to: maltb (Jan 29, 2008 3:39 pm) Has anyone had the control unit programmed for auto locking? My dealership has never heard of this but I'd like to give them the information on how to do it if someone has another dealership contact. Thanks much!

Not sure what the story is on this one...it would be nice to at least have the passenger enter an address while you are driving. To have to stop and pull over is an inconvenience.

Replying to: ntermini (Feb 25, 2008 3:07 am) In vehicles of Lexus/Toyota, there are many complaints about this grey-out as well. Two things to add: - a couple years ago, Toyota users found a loophole to defeat the grey out thru a sequence of tapping on the touch screen, kick into the debug screen, and enter into a mode that shows no grey-out (once engine is switch off, it resets itself back). - a company, coastaletech.com, sells a kit that essentially allows you to control the speed sensors into the Denso unit. Don't know if it works for a similar Denso unit on CX-9. A caution though. coastaletech.com has poor customer responses and service, though they made very innovative products. |
