    Techie Toys

    Installed the VAIS iPod adapter. You get play list and song information but not artist (kind of a PIA). Allows for steering wheel controls, navigation through head unit (more functional for moving through play lists than songs), random and repeat functions. Does not leave the native iPod...

    Anyone in Australia want an FJ Cruiser (or two)?

    Feel better? :rolleyes:

    Emblem Opinions?

    I personally like the old style 4WD emblem - to the point I put one on my FJ. I think it ties in nicely to the FJ heritage without renaming the vehicle (regardless of capabilities). Although it seems to work better with the blue/yellow FJs, it looks just fine on the Silver. As to drilling...

    Does the Parking Brake hold your FJ?

    A couple of points: If your parking brake doesn't hold the FJ, you should get it adjusted. Unlike a lot of vehicles, 1st gear has the lowest ratio in the FJ (lower than reverse)

    MTN Bike Rack???

    I decided to buy a “Saris Cycle On” bike carrier which attaches to the factory Toyota hitch. The receiver went in far enough to put the bolt through the second hole – this translates to “it’s in there good and solid”. Both bikes fit in without any interference from the spare tire – this was my...

    So now that you have had the FJ Cruiser for a few weeks/months.....

    I can help you with one of these issues - here's how to turn the seat belt buzzer off (cut and paste from another forum). Tried it with my FJ and it worked like a charm - not that I'm endorsing driving without a seat belt. Seat belt chime Turn the ignition switch on (without starting...

    So now that you have had the FJ Cruiser for a few weeks/months.....

    Likes: Fun to drive: Hard to explain but I just like being behind the wheel. Quality: High quality – test drove a number of vehicles before buying the FJ; Toyota is just a cut above the rest. Manual Transmission: Hard to find a manual these days; I believe the FJ is the only Toyota SUV that...

    MTN Bike Rack???

    I'm picking up a hitch mounted, swing out rack directly from Toyota; about $480 ish CDN. The parts department is currently holding it for me ... now if only they could get the hitch in.

    Buttons inside the FJC

    It's part of the alarm that was installed at the dealership; the button disables the interior proximity detector. Push the button and the security light starts flashing (beside the radio) - when you lock the door, the interior proximity sensory is disabled.

    Recognition from FJC drivers??

    I agree that a majority of threads are informative and, for the most part, positive. Every now and again a thread like this starts as a legitimate question only to have a bunch of people start bashing ("Rav4", "such a poor vehicle devoid of any real connection to its roots", etc.) With respect...

    Recognition from FJC drivers??

    Although I have some understanding of the Landcruiser heritage (perhaps not as much as most on this board), I still don't get why people come to the FJ Cruiser board just to bash it, talk to why it doesn't "live up to the heritage" or explain why their vehicle is superior. To be honest, this is...

    How Tall is the FJ??

    I guess it depends what "standard" is - even with a 7' opening the garage door hangs down a bit. You should really measure from your foor to the lowest point to check it out. Although my garage is fine (8' door), I won't be able to park in my regular downtown parking garage (6'4" restriction).

    How Tall is the FJ??

    Specs with the roof rack have it at 79"

    It's not part of the Canadian C package.

    Match up between an 06 X-Terra and 06 FJ Cruiser?

    I test drove both and they are not even in the same league. Although they probably have very similar capabilities, there is a clear difference in the quality of the vehicles. Everyone is different so I would suggest you test drive both - only you can decide what is right for you.

    Canadian ''C package'' window sticker price

    That used to be true but was struck down awhile ago as part of some anti-monopoly ruling; basically said dealerships could set their own price if they wanted. The Calgary dealerships work together keeping everything at MSRP – High River works a little harder as it’s about a 30 minute drive...

    Canadian ''C package'' window sticker price

    All of the Calgary dealers seem to stick together. I ordered my FJ in January and they gave me $1000 off of the price - not sure if that still stands or not. They were actually really good to deal with as well.

    Canadian ''C package'' window sticker price

    Paid 34,985 + $1390 PDI + TAX for a MT C package. This includes the roof rack and running boards (things that are accessories in the US); from my dealer, it also included floor and cargo mats. Definitely more than the US but you have to watch because they are definitely packaged differently.

    There Rollin in now everywhere in Canuck land!

    You sure - it came off the truck Thurs afternoon and I was driving off the dealership lot Friday morning. I took a blue one for a spin but they were still prepping mine when I arrived.
