Well I suggest going for aftermarket speakers. I've put on some Focals 6.5" component speakers and a 8" sub. Quality work done by Northfield in Brisbane. They blended in the sub box using the same colour scheme as my interior upholstery. Together with 2 Alpine PDX amps, it juz completes the whole lot. Spend a bit of money on quality stuff and its worth it.. :)

I agree - upgrading the head unit without doing the speakers as well is pointless.

There is no way around an infant rear-facing convertible car seat (to get to the middle).

what - by climbing over the baby seats? good luck!

You're probably not aware that the middle seat in the second row is removable. If you were to remove the middle seat, you have a small space to walk through between the two second row seats into the 3rd row. If you only require 6 seats in the car and not much storage space in the rear, this is the perfect configuration.

I'm aware. Taswegian was talking about having 2 baby seats in the 2nd row, which would block access to the middle seat.

taswegian - if you had two baby seats in the 2nd row, how would you even get to the 3rd row without removing one of the seats everytime??

Remove the middle seat and store it under the centre console. Then walk through.

Hi, I am new to this forum as just recently purchased new 09 Kluger Altitude last month. Anyone out there know where in Melbourne you can get the third row seating infant bolts added? We just found out we are having triplets. I think we will really need the two extra bolts in the third row, just in case as we already have a 2.5 yr old boy. The plan might be to have the boy and 1 in the third row and the other two in the second row. Otherwise it will have to be all three new ones in second row and the boy climbing over the back all the time. I hope someone can help out.

I just installed a convertible seat in my new 09 KX-S and discovered the only real option is behind the driver - and even that is a tight fit for a rear-facing seat! The middle seat is useless, and the passenger side seat is the only way into the back row.

This is a serious design flaw by Toyota.

Just noticed that even in the US there are only 2 options for Kluger 19" rims, and BOTH Bridgestone:

-nice collusion there by toyota and bridgestone

Hi All,

Recently purchased a '06 Kluger CVX, very happy.

Just a quick one tho! its done just over 45K and looks like needing a set of new tyres... any suggestions?

99% driving will be on sealed roads and a very small amount on sand and unsealed roads. Any suggestions for a newbie

would be appreciated.

You'll need to specify your tyre size before anyone can properly advise.

Check out http://www.tirerack.com/indexA.jsp - US site, so many tyres not available here, but heaps of good info & reviews.

I just ordered (from UK) a K&N air filter for my K and other 2 cars.

$50 for a bit of paper mache, or even more for another car, is just a bit too rich for me.

So for a little bit more, I will get one that last forever and apparently offers other benefits.

Pretty much half price (compared with Repco) for each including postage!!!. Clearly - this is still a penal colony

Will let you know any performance/economy benefits.

The K&N filters are washable and re-usable but don't necessarily "breathe" better than factory filters (or so I've read/heard in my research). I'd be interested to see research to prove otherwise. The aftermarket filters are usually used on performance cars. I'm not sure it'd make a difference in a SUV.
