Thought it was the gas cap... I have a 2006 4Runner SR5 V-6. I have the CEL, VSC TRAC and Traction control lights on. Last time this happened, it was the gas cap. Even though the gas cap was not tightening properly, it isn't the issue as I have replaced the gas cap and have driven it about...

I figured something was different. I'd really rather not have to change out the NAV to a newer one. Does anybody know what changed on that cable that goes into that plug between the 05 and 06? The pin-outs must have changed. Thanks in advance! Doug

I've been away for a year or so and have a question. I had an '05 4Runner with a Camry NAV that worked great with my steering wheel (audio) controls. The '05 turned out to be a lemon and I had it replaced with an '06. I put the NAV into the '06 and when I had the steering wheel controls...

I have an 06 SR5 with port installed leather. My seat heaters have a 3-position toggle switch for each of the front seats. The middle position is "off", the forward position (designated with 2 horizontal lines) heats both the lower back and seat bottom, the back position (designated with 1...

anybody? Has anybody put a Camry NAV in a 2006 4Runner???

I just got my new 2006 4Runner a couple of weeks ago after turning in my 2005 lemon. I took the 05 Camry NAV out of the 2005 before turning it in so I could put it in my 2006. However, I'm having a couple of problems. When we first installed it in the 2006, my speed sensor didn't work and I...

I just got my new 06 SR5 last week (it was a replacement for my 05 lemon). This past weekend I took my 06 to my brother-in-law to get the NAV and XM put back in (he owns a car audio store). Those same lights came on on my truck after installing the NAV in the 06 for the first time. My speed...

Got my new 06!! Well, I finally got my new 4Runner last week! Man, I really don't want to go through this crap again. Lots of red tape. Long drawn out process. However, I love my new 06 SR5!!!! I've already put the NAV and XM in the new one. Thanks to everyone for their comments and support!!

update My new 4Runner should be here sometime next week. However, I'm going to have to wait until all the paper work is done through the regional Toyota office. That might take up to 2 weeks. I'm going to take the NAV out tomorrow and put the original radio back in. Oh, you'll never guess...

I think there are 2 different types depending on whether you have an SR5, Sport or Limited. On my SR5, I have a 3 position switch for each seat. One position is for back only (or seat, can't remember which) and one position for both back and seat. The 3rd position is the "off" position. I'm...

OK....I went to Little Rock yesterday and looked at the new Nautical Blue Metalic. It looks almost identical to the Stratosphere Mica. If anything, it may be a little darker, but I really couldn't see a difference. So, I've ordered one in the new color to replace my lemon. Doug

verdict is in! I went to Little Rock yesterday and saw the new Nautical Blue Metalic for myself. The color is almost identical to the Stratosphere Mica!! Whew! I was getting worried that I'd have to give up my color to get an 06. I really couldn't tell any difference at all. It may be just...

inching forward.... Well, I'm going to Little Rock this weekend to lay my eyes on this new Nautical Blue Metalic and compare it to my Stratosphere Mica. They had 4 there on Monday, so I figured they'd have at least one still there by this Saturday. I just need to see the color with my own...

My lemon... I agree with everybody about Toyota being better built than other makes and even that Japanese made Toyotas are better than US made. However, they are not perfect. My 05 4Runner that I bought in January this year has turned out to be a lemon. I'm going to get it replaced with an...
