Yes, the odo is clocking, which I would expect since I am getting a speedo reading. Where are you are pulling the info saved in the screenshots?

Ok...I looked at the sticky, found a 2006 repair manual, looked at it, only had an "instrument Panel" section that only had the Instrument Panel Safety Pad folder. Nothing else. What file am I supposed to be looking in. I opened the other links, and found nothing similar to what you describe...

~150k miles, 2005, stock, nothing has changed since the error began. Out of the blue, the speedometer started reading around 10-11% low. It's consistent. Confirmed the error with the speedbox phone app and a friendly poiice officer (I asked him to track me, and he was kind enough to do so...

Test drove both in snow and the performance is the same (while 4wd is engaged). I opted for the V6 so I had the option of disengaging if I chose (among other reasons). The performance difference between the two is not noteworthy unless trailering (my opion). Suggest you test each and draw...

Check the audio forum here - it's very helpful. Search on XM or Scion HU and you'll find more than you need. There's even a very nice writeup on removing the dash panels to replace the headunit. Best solution (cause it's the one I picked) is to get a Scion headunit, which is a direct...

I ran mine through the vehicle to the rear, then ran the wire behind the rear door gasket to the top of the opening. It is very easy to lift the edge of the door seal/gasket and run the wire all the way to the top. I mounted the antenna on the right rear just forward of the door opening. With...

Thanks for the heads-up, Doug. Guess I'll have to start reading my mail.

Noticed the same thing on mine! The stock left mirror should say "Objects in mirror appear wider than normal"

On my '05 (4k miles), I notice a vibration felt in the accel pedal - not the steering wheel. It is quite noticeable, predominately at highway speed. Maybe it's just all that additional power than I had with my 93 4R.

Aggressive driving Commute daily 75 miles round trip - 75% congested highway. I get 21-22MPG on an '05 with 4k miles. It's gone up from a low of 19 as things loosen up. Oh, and I always use premium octane fuel - 91 octane or higher. Did the same in my 93 4Runner and noticed mileage drops...

Don't be so quick to say that...Got my '05 Limited for $400 under invoice.

I use the 3M Plastic Cleaner to clean the insturment panel after using it on my motorcycle windscreen and helmet visor with good results. It does a very nice job of cleaning plastic without scratching. Many gp cleaners have alcohol which may soften the surface and cause scratching. I used the...

Me '05 dealer is spec'ing a 3k mile first oil change. And, he is in total agreement with me on going full syn Mobil 1 at that time with extended OCI's after that. My experience, wait for the full OCI on the first oil load then switch to syn. The mileage and performance improvements were notable.

2K34R! I hadn't seen that earlier post, and boy did I search a long time. Thanks for the link. I'm interested in where you got the factory xm for $269. I can justify that price. Also curious as to how long the cable was between the reciever and the HU? I also plan on installing an amateur...

I had to put a choke on the power feed to the amp in another vehicle - a simple ferrite core with the power feed wound around a few times cured rpm-related whine. I don't believe the HU would make a difference in the noise. Having recently put a Scion HU in, it has a remarkably better audio...
