  2. Weathertech.com has them. Two models - one for seats installed, the other for seats not installed. I've been looking at them for a while and they seem to be best overall. Sam T.
  3. I just had my 90K service work done and they replaced the timing belt - standard service. They also ended up replacing the water pump because it looked like it was starting to leak, according to the technician. But the estimate of service at 90K definitely had timing belt replacement listed. Good luck! Sam T
  4. I took the plunge and did it on my 2001 LX. The only difference is the connector on the top of the nav system is the gray one, 2nd on the left. Works like a charm. Thanks for all the great information! Sam T. - Denver ---------- Instructions - modified for 2001 LX 470 Carefully remove the center dash display cover panel (black or wood grain) from the multi display/radio (use the rounded end of a bottle opener or thin metal putty knife to pry it gradually and gently or you will break one of the 8 locating clips) Start at the bottom of the 8-clip radio bezel and work your way up the sides and finally the top. Unplug the clock connector at the bottom and set the cover aside. Now remove the air ducts by pulling at the bottom tab of each vent unit. Remove the nav/radio system as a whole by removing 4 silver phillips/hex head screws. The connector of interest is in the group of connectors located along the highest point at the top of the nav system. This is a gray colored connector. The specific connector is the second on the Left when viewed from the FRONT side of the nav screen - this makes it second ON THE RIGHT when viewed from the REAR side of the nav unit. Each wire in the bundle is marked with dots of paint(kinda' silver in color)so ignore these dots. The red/white wire is easy to spot. The violet wire doesn't have any stripe on it but it does have the silver dots. There are two wires that may appear "violet without a stripe" in the bundle. The one you DON'T want is twisted loosely together with a blue wire, and is actually more like pink. The one you DO want is by itself in the bundle. Locate VIOLET wire, cut it about 2 inches from connector and tape off the two cut ends. (This eliminates the speed signal turning off the video) Next locate RED/WHITE wire in same connector and also cut it BUT leave about 4 or 5 inches - IMPORTANT TO HAVE ENOUGH WIRE TO GROUND or so of wire remaining at the connector side. NEXT strip ½ inch of this red/white wire going into display and ground it to anything metal. I used the metal bracket that the display screws to, this is the screw on the upper left outside of bracket . (This simulates the ground signal from the emergency brake lever on position)IMPORTANT!! Ground the portion of the red and white wire that is still connected to the multi display NOT the end that disappears into vehicles wire harness (that wire just tape up and leave) Reinstall multi display with 4 screws carefully guiding all the wires back into the recess. Re-attach the clock connector and then the front cover, reset clock and enjoy (CAREFULLY) video on the move.
