Thanks for your input.
I recently purchased 08 XLE, package 3, When i first spoke to sales rep, she said it has auto dimming mirror, and when i went there to negotiate, came to know that it doesnt have it, sales rep said, she could add that for an xtra 200 bucks, went a head and agreed with it, since they could not install on the same day, they asked me to come on saturday, and one fine saturday, when i took my van to service center, they said, XLE is not pre-wired for auto dimming mirror, and they can only do after market. i aksed them to fit mirror even after market, expecting that they bare all the cost, since it is their mistake.
and more over i came to know that it doesnt have DRL(day time running lights) when the sticker shows that it has. Please suggest.. how do i negotiate with these guys,
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Also, is there anything I can add to the lower rim of the door so that it doesn't scrape on the sidewalk when the door is fully open?
I find that the door is high up enough that I've never hit a curb. The Sienna is a taller than, say, my Miata. The door hits everything.
I turn the knob to get them loose, that's simple, but how do you get them all the way out? That wasn't obvious to me, and I didn't want to push it and break something.

Then you could run it down and maybe splice in to the back of the cigarette lighter.
Only reason I haven't done that is that I move the GPS from car to car.
First, the DVD. The OE system is grossly overpriced, let's face it. For less than half the price I got a 12" DVD player installed, which dwards the OE one. 2 years later and the kids still love it.
The GPS is a little harder to decide. You can get a backup cam with a built-in one, and the screen is bigger. I heard that you can install the newer GPS from a Solara, but I was also told that you would lose the steering wheel audio controls unless you have the JBL sound option, so I passed. I think that was around $1400 last time I looked.
Even aftermarket, you still have choices. We own 3 portables, all Garmins, and they're great. 4.3" screens are now well under $200, and they're easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy to use and install.
I'd also consider a Kenwood in-dash device, though, for the big screen. They're about $800 plus installation, but the sky's the limit, you can add backup cams, bluetooth, etc. I think you can have it all for about half the price of OE built-in.
Good luck.
Has anyone installed a "7" Tft Lcd Color Rear View Backup Camera System with Audio" by Camera View Safety System (Rear View Safety) on a 2006 Toyota Sienna Van?? I am thinking of buying this system, which I found on Amazon, but don't know if it will work on the Sienna. I'm afraid of interfering with the existing electrical system(s), which include a remote starter device and automatic side and back door opening and closing...Any comments? The system sounds good because the camera uses infrared to see, but I just have no idea. Please help if you can. Thank you, best, sos
I love my Toyotas because in over a half million km, I have never been left at the side of the road, a claim I can't make with Ford, GM, or Chrysler, and I've owned them all! I expect to put at least 250 on this Sienna, and a little discomfort will turn to outright pain when spread over a six hour trip.
I took a look under the seat and it appears there is an alternate mounting point for the seat rails that would give about 3" extra room, which is more than ample. Has anyone else had this issue, were you able to solve it, and how?
I will also contact the dealership (I have a pretty good relationship with the service manager there) and see what I can find out.
Surprisingly, I did so by modifying the dead pedal.
I removed it, shaved about half an inch off the spacers in the back. That moved the dead pedal farther back away from the seat.
I know it seems like a small improvement, but with my foot deeper in the footwell, the angle lowers my knee below the steering wheel, and it's just more comfortable.
Take a look at the Sienna's dead pedal, see if you can make similar modifications. It's worth a look and would be a LOT easier than changing the seat track.
Good luck. :shades:
1) a good aftermarket backup camera system for the Toyota Sienna van (2006), and,
2) a Florida dealer in the vicinity of Monroe County to install such a system?
My husband and I are hoping to have a back-up camera installed before we start on the trip north, around January 18th, but have no personal knowledge of reputable Toyota dealers in the area. I am asking this because the installation instructions for various cameras say that dis-connecting the negative terminal of the battery may "...require the dealer to reset the internal computer." So we are seeking both a camera AND a reputable dealer. Thank you in advance if you can help! SOS
Thanks
Best Buy usually has samples on display, I'd check them out. You want good contrast and wireless headsets. If they look good to you, go for it.
I think mine is Jensen? Can't remember now for some reason.
Where is the best place to purchase nice all weather mats?
Do they make one's that truly custom fit or would I have to go to Toyota for this?
What happen in the center area where the 8th seat can be placed? I like to have my floors as covered as possible since I have 5 kids going in and out all day
Thanks
What is the best shape for the 2nd row? I am unsure if a L shape will be ok when all 3 seats (buckets plus 8th seat) are in, or should I go with just straight across?
Has anyone done those ship and you fit leather seat cover packages ?
Can you add heaters to them ?
Are the arm rest's and door panels included.
Seems like a great idea as you can choose a wide range of colours.
For Miatas, yes, there are seat heaters available. I imagine you'll find the same thing for Siennas.
Actually, the nice thing is they come in a wide variety of colors, and you can also choose if you want them perforated.
Instructions were also in each box. Installaion not very difficult but front easier than rear due to better access.

I doubt there would be clearance, so go with the headrest ones.
Do you know a reputable website to get aftermarket genuine Toyota Sienna 2011products? Dealership way too costly.
I have found sites like Bernardi parts for Honda, but not Toyota. Thanks.
After some reading, I decided to install Air Lift bladders in the rear springs, with fill valves located in the rear valance panel. So far, they seem to be doing the job. We have some bigger trips planned as we approach the holidays, so I'll let you know how they work when the van is loaded.
Can somebody tell me how much will it cost approx and will it void the car warranty?
Thanks
You will not automatically void the whole van warranty, but you will get no coverage for anything that can be traced to the aftermarket parts, installation, or interaction damage between the new hardware and the rest of the electronics.
3 dealers have quoted, are all approx $ 55,000.
If you can't find any more info, aim for similar margin discounts, i.e. about 10% off MSRP or so.
I am now shopping for a flipdown roof monitor for my 2010 Toyota Sienna. I am unable to get my hand on a system to see if they are any better than the ones from the past. Best Buy does not have them on the floor. I plan to buy it from the internet and install it myself.
Any help out there would be greatly appreciated ... especially with the viewing angle.
I imagine modern ones are brighter and have better contrast now.
I want to install Hitch Mount Bike Rack which requires 2 inch hitch receiver.
I look at the bottom of my car and couldn't find hitch receiver.
1. Do I have to install "Trailer Hitch Receiver"?
- I have to go dealer to install? But, I couldn't find the accessory when I build my car from Toyota site.
- I can buy from anywhere and go to body shops to install it?
2. Or, it's already installed in the car, but I just do something to reveal it?
- Since I don't know what the Tow Prep Package means.
Any comment will helps. Thank you.
Actual towing (or in your case bike rack) equipment, such as a receiver hitch and power for trailer lighting is something you have to add - this stuff does not come on the van.
You can:
1) Go to your dealership and have them add the Toyota brand 2" receiver hitch (around $350 installed).
2) Buy it yourself (I happen to like the Curt unit available on Amazon) for around $150 and install it yourself (takes an hour or so) or take it somewhere.
3) Go to a trailer place and just have them do the whole job.
