I really don't like what they've done to the front of the new Kluger/Highlanders. The rest of it, inside and out... Gorgeous. The grille though... It looks like any of the the Heavy Duty class Fords and even the US Toyota Tundra. The 2010-2011 refresh was perfect in the style of the front end. I don't know, maybe it's something a custom billet grille would fix, but IMO it's just too large.

Is it at all possible that the boot button on your remote is stuck or may have glitched? That's the only thing I could think of. The button used to stick on my old Mitsu Magna and would do stupid crap like that every now and again.

Exercising a bit of thread necromancy here. Can anyone confirm that plates would be needed for 6x9's? Gentleman above didnt specify if the speakers he purchased were any particular size.

Interestingly enough. Just getting rid of the stock stereo seems to have fixed it. I put in my old Pioneer single DIN in with a harness, and gave it a go. Having no luck in trying to reproduce the issue. Seems odd that it would cause noise, maybe it has to do with the steering wheel controls? Obviously that's not something I can plug in to my aftermarket. I'm debating on buying one of the axxess modules to give me that control back, as I do have some sort of wired remote plug in the back of the stereo. If that brings back my static issue then I know where its' coming from.

*Wife hijacking this thread. The sound is best described as a static noise IMO. It seemed to disappear when the car was on but stopped and wasn't noticable until I got to around 45kms and got worse when I was driving faster. I turned the volume of the stereo up and down, changed from radio to cd & back and turned the unit off and the noise persisted. It seemed to come from the front speakers but I'll need to go for a drive as the passenger & try and work out if it's all of the speakers or only certain speakers while not driving myself (my hearing is better than the hubbys so I'll have a better chance of checking this) He's actually in the process of pulling the stock stereo out now & putting in our Pioneer we used in our old car so it will be interesting to see if this removes the issue. We'll check tomorrow when it's light out and see if there are any hidden extras under the dash like you mentioned as well. Further results of our checking should be posted sometime tomorrow. Hopefully we figure it out sooner rather than later. It was driving me nuts.

Hi all! Just bought a used 2007 Kluger and while doing a test drive everything appeared to be fine, however while driving it home from Melbourne (We live about two hours out), my wife noticed an electrical noise that only appears above a certain speed. It appears to emanating from the speakers; However, this occurs both when the stereo either is on or off. The sound disappears when the car is slowed down to driving slowly in residential areas or a complete stop. Any clue what could be the cause of this and/or what I could do to try and isolate the issue? Thanks in advance.
