    Having problems transferring phonebook from HTC EVO Android Phone via Bluetooth.

    bigwebb83: This worked! I had this exact issue with my 2010 Limited Nav and my new Samsung Galaxy S II. Thanks! Dennis.

    should I cancel extended warranty and resist all?

    I found out after the fact as well. However, you are allowed to cancel your Toyota extended warranty and I had the dealer upgrade mine to the top 125K one as opposed to me cancelling. Dennis.

    XM NavTraffic

    I live in SoCal as well and the NavTraffic is pretty close to Google traffic for all the major freeways. Works great for on the fly re-routing which is so critical in LA driving! I like it. Dennis.

    The Eternal Grudge Match…4Runner vs. Pathfinder

    I was considering the same choice, but it turned out to be a simple one for me. Last Feb 2010 there were like 3 or 4 4WD Pathfinders for sale in Southern California total, and NO Offroad editions. On the other hand, there were plenty of new 4Runners! Dennis.

    Clicking sounds from climate control

    My 2010 Limited has the same noise, my sense is that it's worse than it was before but who knows.... 30K miles and year later. Good to know there is an option if it gets any worse! Dennis.

    The Eternal Grudge Match…4Runner vs. Pathfinder

    The Pathfinder was on my list along with my 4R Limited but the complete lack of 4WD versions of the PF in Southern California was very off-putting. I found like 3 in all of greater LA/OC/SB/SD counties. I had read good things about the racy Maxima motor in the PF though... Dennis.

    Geolanders in snow?

    I have the same tires on my 2010 Limited and they worked much better than I thought they would on trips to Mammoth with various amounts of snow and ice. My Limited seemed more surefooted than my previous QuadraDrive Jeep Commander with BF Goodrich A/T's. Other members here have had the same...

    Limited with NAV: Bluetooth Contacts Question...

    So it's not just me? I guess that's somewhat soothing! I thought it might be related to using my iPhone as a bluetooth music device as well, but it still happened after I turned that off. It never happens mid-drive, just once in awhile when I get into my car and start it everything...

    Limited with NAV: Bluetooth Contacts Question...

    Hi, I have the factory Nav/phone/bluetooth and every couple of months all my imported contacts and speed dials are erased. My phone still shows in the bluetooth selections list, but all the imported data is gone. There is no other indication of a reset in any other system or linked to any...

    12v Power Supply (cigarette lighter) Mod - 3 way with pics!

    I also found a surprisingly well made triple socket and 2 USB power port on Amazon. I wired it from behind the center console socket into the center storage and mounted it onto that little plastic divider insert. Takes a bit of room inside the console but keeps everything out of the way. Dennis.

    Sound from brakes when backing up after parking brake release?

    Hi, Every time after I release the parking brake and start reversing, or maybe right when I start going forward, I hear what I can best describe as "linkage unlocking" from near my brake pedal. It doesn't seem to have any negative effects and may well be normal, I am just wondering if anyone...

    Better in Snow: 4Runner Limited vs any AWD (Highlander, Outback, etc.)

    My 2010 Limited with OEM tires did much better in snow than I expected, and this was on icy crud with up to several inches of powder on top. I had a Jeep Commander with BF Goodrich AT's and Quadra Trac before and my 4Runner seemed to track much better, even around corners. FWIW Dennis.

    Anyone Hardwire a Radar Detector yet?

    Will do, but it might be awhile since I actually did clean out the garage this past weekend... Well partially. :) Dennis.

    Anyone Hardwire a Radar Detector yet?

    I like it! I am going to totally steal your idea this weekend instead of cleaning out the garage like I am supposed to... Dennis.
