How's 303 on the tires?

How long will the Vinylex typically last before having to be reapplied? And is this new 303 product supposed to be better than Vinylex?

I called my dealer and I also called Toyota customer service to complain. Of course non of them had any recommendations for me. Be careful with the microfiber cloths - as I was trying to rub out the scuff mark with the microfiber I made the scuff even worse. When you use the microfiber just...

Do any of you know how to polish off scuff marks on the dash? On my 04, the soft plastic material seems to pick up scuff marks very easily, like when a passenger accidentally hits it with their shoe (i.e. my wife's flip flops). I seem to have made it worse by taking a soft cotton cloth and...

Thanks...please keep us posted!

Anyone?

I understand that Alpine has a new HU (the CDA-9851) that is "OEM steering remote ready" so you can control the HU through the steering wheel controls. Do any of you have this HU installed and with the steering wheel controls working?

OK, stupid question but how to you get the thinner Alpine HU to look right in the big gaping hole left by the stock HU? What do you fill the rest of the hole with? Also, do you use the stock HU's mounting harnass?

Does anybody else make a product that gives you RCA inputs to hook up an MP3 player? Looks like the pie adapters won't be available till the end of March. Specifically this is for an '05 Scion tC stock single disk HU.

I went to the PIE site and their application guide made no mention of the 05 Scions or 4Runners. Does anybody know if the TOY03-AUX will work with the stock 05 Scion single disk HUs?

Does anybody know if this is possible?

Yeah, I found them to be very nice to deal with and very helpful. Keep us posted on what you find out. What you described is definitely different than what they told me would happen. I was really hoping it would power down the Ipod when you turn off the car.

I called the Neo Ion people and they told me that it should work just fine with the stock single disk HU (provided that you purchase a $20 cable). One thing that wasn't clear though was how does the unit work when you A. turn your car off or B. switch to a different mode (like FM). It sounds...

Thanks...is that the Pac-audio adapter?

Does anybody know if there are any aftermarket HUs that support the steering wheel controls?
