Thanks. I guess I know what to do now...

Not sure if I understoiood you corectly. I guess the rust protection is not that effective; what would you please suggest abut the other 2 (paint/leather)?

Thanks

NOTHING!

Is that a good answer?

Never trust the rust proof unless you store your car under water.

Hi all,

The dealer offered me a leather protection, paint protection (claim there's no need to wax ever) amd electronic rust protection - as a package (not free!) - from truseal. What do people think/know about it - is this a good offer I should take or?

Thanks

It is there. Used it during my test drive on Friday. Don't know what was the reason for the salesperson's confusion but he set it for me in a second.

Gents, where do you get this access code & password to check the status?

Thanks

Well, I'm no way an auto guru (anybody can figure that out judging my posts here :D ), but

Considering it's not a racing car but a family SUV... I'd rather get the one that is intact after the roll than the one that makes flounder out of everybdy inside (I refer to a recent TV show - today tonight as far as I remember), which exposed a lack of a structure in the car roof that gets squeshed on the roll (guess you know what brand were they talking about).

P.S. I'm having a final / long testdrive tomorrow - hope I won;t roll it! :D

Please keep telling Wheels are wrong and Kluger dynamics is good :D

Well, thanks for that.

The quote was over $500 - you're right. I'm not sure I understand the "H4 plug" info, etc - but based on the info I think I'll go with original halogens of Kluger. If I understand you correctly - there's no "safe" way of having xenons, especially if Kluger doesn't have washers or does it?

iPod is a different story - if it won't void the warranty I'm seriously considering of going that way - unless (and I'd appreciate the feedback) I can;t have it safely 100%

Many thanks

BEWARE!

I don't think your dealer knows his stuff or being completely honest with you.

Xenon headlights are so different from halogens. as previously pointed out, they are different in discharging properties.

They are completely different in casing as well. So much so that the xenon conversion in headlights are not 100% perfect. They are simply a connector to the H4 plug that we use in the halogen lights, puttign the electricity to a ballast and discharge in the xenon bulb.

There is no official options in USA, Australia or NZ regarding that. So it is either the modification I stated above, or they just con you with a whiter halogen lights!

Yes the xenon should be whiter and brighter but neither of the above (xenon conversion or whiter halogen bulbs) will guarantee you to have a brighter headlights.

Also all new cars sold with xenon has to have a washer in the highlights in part of the australian design rules, so dealer doing that as a MODIFICATION, not OPTION. and not being an option,,, you will not get your money back when you sell your car.

Just my 2cent.

ALSO EDIT: Xenon conversion is over $500, not couple of hundreds. The cheap xenon is worse than the stock lights I am sure. And I can get the top of range halogen light bulb like Polarg or PIAA for AUD$100 overseas.

Thanks for that. The reason I'm asking is that the dealer offered to upgrade the car (for a couple of $$$) to Xenon (in response to my dumb question "can I get one of these cool bright lights?"). $$$ are no killing me there. In your opinion is this a worthwhile upgrade?

Apologies for asking so many dumb questions in such a short period of time, but I'm 2-3 days away from getting the car so I'm bit nervous and hangry for the info.

The question is: Grande spec includes "halogen headlights". Is that the same as "xenon lights" avaliable (sometimes) on other cars? If not, which ones are better?

Thanks

Thanks guys,

I don't know why the dealer decided to claim that there's no such function - if I didn't make myself clear or? Should I be changing the dealer or majority of them is like that?

I've been told that the trip computer on Kluger Grande can't do what others do all the time - e.g. estimate the curren range (e.g. 150 km till empty). Could anybody please let me know if it is true?

Thanks

Thanks for that.

I'm getting mixed messages - e.g. even a quote to interface iPod in a way that would allow it to be controlled from the car screen from a local dealer. Just wanted to know if it too good to be true.

No one confirms that work in the Kluger but this is what some one did on their Highlander Sport

Hi all,

This is my 1st post here - never owned Toyota before but now I'm getting a Kluger Grande. I've checked all the posts here but still unsure if there's way to connect iPod (or any other MP3 player) to the audio system of Grande.

Thanks
