My biggest curiousity is if with the base stereo you can see it with sunglasses on and if it is any brighter with the lights on.
Looks like I might have to go to the USA to get mine. The Cdn TE's don't come with NAV, but at least they come with an added value feature of an extra 8k on the price tag!
Skip the NAV. I have it on mine, but it doesn't come with maps for AK. I believe Canada is in the same boat. Aparently, Toyota doesn't think Alaska is part of the US.
I'm moving to the lower 48 next summer so the NAV would do as advertised. As a canuck I'll have to pay cash in the USA, but at least $8k will be in my pocket. I did the toyota builder for both countries and retail for the TE is 41,800 US or 49,500CDN!
I checked the site and don't see anything listed about 3rd row seating. Does anyone know if this is an option?
Sorry if that seems a silly question. I have a gen4 with 3rd row and not familiar with the gen5 yet.
Its optional on the LE, and part of the 'premium package with third row' on the SR5
Wonder if I missed it then, I did the config on the LE and didn't see it. I'll try it again. Good to know though, thank you!
I'm sorry but Toyota has probably the worst "Build your vehicle", that I've ever used.
But it's like when I use the build feature on a vehicle, it's a learning experience because it shows you all the available options and colors for your car, yet for Toyota, it doesn't even tell you what packages are, and doesn't give you all the color options, etc. It's just REALLY terrible. But that's just me. Just very annoying and frustrating.It depends how you look at it. When I used the build your own feature for my VW GTI, I could build it however I wanted within the option list. This meant when I called the 5 closest VW dealers, they all said, "no, we don't have that configuration, how about a 2 door with the 17" wheels and leather instead." Well, I wanted 18" wheels, 4 door, and plaid interior. In fact, there wasn't one of my particular build in the whole country. Obviously, I was pretty damn annoyed by the end of the process because I was ready to buy right then and only 1 dealer was willing to order it for under MSRP. A $750 deposit and 4 months later, I finally had my car.
Toyota sets their build your own up to be what you can commonly find at your local dealer. This means you build it on the site, and if you are satisfied with it, you can generally call up 5 local dealers and one of them will have what you built online. Now, if you absolutely insist on no sunroof but having 3rd row, the better cloth, and premium audio and you can't build that configuration online, even though it is a possible configuration via the spec sheet on Toyota.com, the dealers can order it that way for you.
My wife and I are in the process of deciding which car she is going to get in the spring. We've pretty much decided on a Prius v Five. The only option is a $5k Advanced Tech package. We should actually be able to find something right off the lot that fits what we want because the only variables of the Prius v Five are exterior color, interior color, and AT package or no AT package.
Subaru has the worst. Last I checked, when building a WRX, when you selected hatch instead of sedan, the picture didn't even change.
Interesting because I just picked Omaha as a random zip for you (68102) and it does not show the third Limited package. The only package it shows is the one I am not clear on:
with Additional Options $1,365
(EG) Entune display audio for limited
(FE) 50 state emissions
(LT) Limited package
(TT) Leather-trimmed 50/50 split fold-flat
These were the only choices for Limiteds:
Limited Package
$0
Sliding rear deck cargo board
$350
$1,365
While in my zip code in Colorado (80022) you get:
Limited Package
$0
$1,365
Limited 3rd Row Seat
$2,520
Limited 3rd Row Seat with Additional Options $2,520
(FE) 50 state emissions
(LT) Limited package
(NV) Voice-activated touch-screen DVD navigation system [5] with integrated backup camera [12], JBL® AM/FM 4-disc CD changer with MP3/WMA playback capability, 15 speakers including subwoofer, XM® Radio [1] with XM NavTraffic® [5] (includes 90-day trial subscriptions), USB [2] port with iPod® [3] connectivity, hands-free telephone capability and music streaming via Bluetooth® [4] wireless technology
(TS) 50/50 split fold-flat-into-floor third-row seating and sliding second row with passenger-side one-touch walk-in function
We must love our 4's here. :lookout:
Strange! Well thanks for the post anyways, It's a feature I'd want but wasn't sure what the cost was for this.
Anyone have an area that allows you to have KDSS bu t NOT the upgraded stereo?

If I had to guess, I would say at least ~$1300 for the 3rd row if I am reading that code right - which is strange because I thought LTDs came with 3rd row. I guess they are all just spec'd that way and automatically added on to the price.
