    Mic in 2013 4Runner LTD sucks. How can I upgrade?

    I get the same complaint, just got it again this evening, that my voice breaks up, sounds like static, etc. I'm in a 2013 LE with the upgraded Nav/JBL system using an iPhone 5. I would assume it can't get any better then that. You would think Toyota would get this right in one of the...

    Mic in 2013 4Runner LTD sucks. How can I upgrade?

    I've tried 3 different smart phones, a Blackberry and the iPhone 4s and 5, and have seen no difference in my voice quality using the LE Bluetooth system. I think it's the LE mic and how it reacts to your voice pattern, pitch, volume, etc. The only thing I can think of at this point is to...

    Anybody running 285/60/18's on a 5gen 4runner?

    When I do comparisons using the site below, the only 2 tires that I can come up with that will match my Limited 20's are 265/65/18 and 285/60/18 on 18/9 rims Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com probably to be safe I should go with the 265's, but I was just curious...

    Anybody running 285/60/18's on a 5gen 4runner?

    Anyone got 285/60/18 tires mounted on an 18/9 rim on a 5 Gen 4Runner? This tire/rim size matches the stock Limited 20" wheel/tire height. I went to a couple of tire stores, and both said "they would fit". But my questions is do they have issues with rubbing, etc, when in use? I would assume...

    Good to know. I figured the "voice issue" was BS. I will push the dealer on this and get it replaced.

    Mic in 2013 4Runner LTD sucks. How can I upgrade?

    Yup. I was at the delaler service center and even had a mechanic check it out. They said "everyones experience can be different". Whatever the hell that means. I will say, I have a baritone voice, and the service guy said that may be causing some of my issues.

    Mic in 2013 4Runner LTD sucks. How can I upgrade?

    Hey Guys; Just got a 2013 4Runner Limited. Awesome car, but the mic used for the bluetooth phone sucks. I say that because everyone I call says the sound quality is really bad. I have Verizon and use an iPhone 5. Tested it out in several locations in the past 2 weeks, both driving and...

    Owner shoots bad guys trying to steal 4Runner

    To my knowledge, there was a series of car break-in's in my area and somehow they caught the kids that were doing it. I asked the Sheriff who was doing the thefts when I was collecting my nav, but they could not release that information. I got back my nav, but not the other stuff. In the end...

    Owner shoots bad guys trying to steal 4Runner

    My description when it was stolen and the data on it. I had to come down to the police station and identify it. When they started it up, it had my home setting on it.

    Owner shoots bad guys trying to steal 4Runner

    +1 I don't get the concept of shoot people to protect property at all. It's just stuff that gets old and eventually thrown away. I had my 4Runner broken into in front of my house one evening last year. They stole a pair of sunglasses, my TomTom, and some change I had in the center console...

    4runner Value

    Yes. Not a scratch. Other party was in a car and hit the frame. They came out OK as well. I will say I was shocked when the INS company said my 4Runner was totaled. There was some door damage on the passenger side, but nothing that I would think equaled a total loss. I guess with frame...

    4runner Value

    Just got $16,252 from the INS company on a Vehicle Total Loss for an 04' Limited with over 120k miles on it. Using that to buy a new 2013 Limited 4x4.

    Velox Wheels through Costco

    Anyone use Costco to get wheels? Just noticed this on the Costco website. See link below: https://www.veloxwheel.com/www/products/main Those 18" Ravines look decent on a 4Runner.
