aux port on Urban Runner works! One last post on the Urban Runner. I finally got the AUX port in the console to work with the TomTom audio system. I'm not exactly sure what the nice guy at the dealer did differently than I did but he was able to turn on the AUX port (as per the instruction...

If gas $$$ gets high enough (I'm not sure of my breaking point), I would take the bus to work. But it would severely impact my productivity since bus schedule is infrequent, leaves too early in the morning and returns too early in the afternoon. Plus getting to meetings at work can be time...

Why is 18" a problem? The Dueler H/Ts on my Urban Runner are on 18" rims. A quick update. My first road trip to Taos went well. No problem passing on windy 2 lane roads. My 4runner had it's first taste of snow on the way home on Sunday, with a bit of wind thrown in. The roads stayed...

Where does the iPod cable come out of the dash? I hate dangling wires. Plus the radio will have to be removed and put back in for installation. I may stick to the FM transmitter. Yes, it does. I was impressed with the fact that the 4Runner has an aux port in the console. I am...

I find the TomTom screen is big enough and high enough but I am fairly short - so I don't have to glance down very far. The screen is at the very top of the dash unlike other vehicles I've owned where the ventilation/heating ducts are at the top with the radio below. It is very easy for me...

The worst of the winter is over here. It will continue to snow but it's getting warmer and the snow on the road doesn't last very long. So it's good to know that everyone doesn't hate the Dueler H/Ts. I hope to use them to get to some 4WD trailheads this summer. They're very quiet on the...

In general I like the TomTom system. I've used GPS in the backcountry for hiking and skiing for many years (currently using an Etrex Vista, I think). However, I've never had a car-based Nav system before. I like the driver's view of the road on the Tom Tom. Since I've only been driving...

For the record, I am not a mom, soccer or otherwise. And my grocery shopping is limited to food I don't have to cook. ;-) In any case, my new urban runner is beginning to get a little dirty. You can find a few images taken today before it started to rain at the following link...

I just took delivery on my brand new silver Urban Runner (it had 2 miles on the odo). It is absolutely gorgeous. It looks much, much better in person than in the photos from the Chicago auto show. I have the all-weather mats installed, the front skid plate installed, Sirius up and running...

The radio definitely looks like a TomTom Eclipse AVN2210p with slightly different coloring. This is fine by me since I like the features of that unit - which include not only navigation and an optional iPod cable (in addition to the USB port) but also Bluetooth handsfree support for various...

According to what I have read online, both the driver's seat and the front passenger seat are powered. Again, from what I have read online, you can either plug an ipod (or other mp3 player) into the USB port or you can plug in a flash drive with MP3s. I don't know about WMA since I am a Mac...
