    Anyone know what this is?

    My '05 LX470 has stock hands free bluetooth calling capabilities and the associated ponebook/pairing functions, but not bluetooth audio. As others have said, the square on the back of your roof is an aftermarket satellite radio antenna. My bet is that, if you pulled some covers off your dash...

    I was today years old when I figured out

    Really?!? I'll have to check that out. Does the 4 corner trick allow you to do the other locked out things while driving, i.e., access phone books, input destinations, etc... ?

    As long as the group buy is never going to happen, I'm in!

    How-To: TechStream In 5 Minutes

    I've got an ancient Asus Eeee Netbook running Linux.. it originally had XPHome on it, but after the netbook was retired many years ago I put Linux on it just to learn more about the system ... and to try and get more life out of the netbook. It would be a GREAT garage device. Is there anyway to...

    LX470 Family Adventure Rig

    Thanks for the response! Your pics are very clear, but my admittedly stupid questions are caused by my lack of experience doing anything other than following by-the-book directions pretty much. How exactly did you attach the power steering reservoir in its new location, and how did you attach...

    LX470 Family Adventure Rig

    I was one of the folks very interested in this.. it's the very next thing I want to do on our LX. I'd be very grateful for as much help and detail you can give. Thanks! Just a fun tidbit... when we replaced our OEM roof rack and crossbars with a Gamiviti rack (with bolt-on fairing), we lost...

    Too much rust?

    Where I live, that amount of rust is found on new cars just from being close to the other cars. You're fine.

    How much time do i have? :(

    We've got twin trucks... Pearl LX470 w/ Gamiviti racks. Nice. The car wash you drove through forced all the salt deeper into the nooks and crannies of your undercarriage, and the treatments you applied will trap it in there forever. Also, the fluid film will attract dirt and help it turn into...

    Cargo Drawers

    I'd say it's IMPOSSIBLE to beat that price... and it includes the fridge slide?!?!?!? How is that even possible?

    Cargo Drawers

    Another HUGE upvote for the KISS drawers. I've built and installed a set, the work GREAT, are extremely handy and easy to build, and virtually everyone who sees them in action drools over them.

    Should I change the timing belt?

    If he sold you that car for $2500, he certainly is.... or he loves you a lot!

    100 series sleeping setup?

    A general question for those who sleep in their trucks... Back in my on-the-road band gigging days, I occasionally slept in my Ford E150. Plenty of room, but the environment in the van was awful. Either hot, humid and stuffy, or cold and clammy, or, if I left the windows open for some...

    Under seat DVD

    FWIW, I haven't messed around w/ the DVD drive, but I have removed and reinstalled the ML amp under that passenger seat. Take the seat out. It's easy to do, and you can see what you're doing after it's out. Worth the time.

    ML Simply Speaker speaker refoam part #...

    Glad to hear you followed through and got the ML system working so you could make up your own mind. Your description of the system's positive attributes are very accurate. You might miss the "slam" and "sizzle" at first that you're used to hearing from other systems, but keep listening.. I...

    What is this?

    I may have jumped the gun.. was just going by my '05 LX470. As another poster above said, it's entirely possible that the satellite radio was incorporated as factory in '06... it wasn't in '05, and what I described is what I found on my truck when I bought it. My apologies for muddying the...

    What is this?

    My bet is that if you pull your center console and/or your head unit/nav area, you'll see an aftermarket XM module tucked in there that's been added to your original factory system via a parallel wiring harness. That antenna is connected to that module. Cutting the wire attached to the antenna...

    ML Simply Speaker speaker refoam part #...

    Owning expensive and quality gear does not mean you understand how these specific car audio systems work. As I stated earlier, the ML system has EQ and loading circuits built in to their amps made to mate with these specific drivers. It's not switching out your Macs for Krells or your B&Ws for...

    ML Simply Speaker speaker refoam part #...

    Thanks for the clarification, and I wish I had seen it before writing/editing my previous reply. The term "audiophile" is a difficult one for me to use in self-description, because so often that translates more into "gearophile" rather than someone who's desire is solely accurate acoustic...

    ML Simply Speaker speaker refoam part #...

    @Smapty Do the refoam first... it's cheap, and fun. I f you hate the sound of the ML system, ship it to me (I'll pay shipping) and replace the whole thing including the amps and start from scratch. If you just replace the drivers with aftermarket stuff but keep the amps, which are designed...

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for anyone reading this thread, please don't immediately take the post I quoted as fact. The Simply Speaker replacement surrounds are NOT foam, and will last a very long time. To an earlier poster re/ disintegrating foam being a cause of poor sound...
