sorry for hijack but..


calisun-

where did you get that rear view mirror??
You can get it almost anywhere. Try japeneese market on Bristal and bear??? One near by. I got mine from Best Tint in Anahiem. It makes things look smaller but I like it because I can see what my kid is doing in the back seat..:P

https://www.getsquash.com/store/?m=M...9771371dc5fa24 - Looks like you can get it from them for $16.

So far, from what I've read and slightly experienced, is that Magellan's customer Service sucks. Thats why for my next GPS, I'm considering anything but, unless it from Costco where I can return it anytime

Not Calisun, but those look to be the typical "Broadway" mirrors that I always see at asian stores. I had one, but since the rear pillars are so big, I didn't see anything more with it. Maybe I was just using it wrong
Calisun is not brand.. It's my Nick. Unless, I didn't get your joke.

Tubig, you are so right on with review mirror. You can't fold down your sunshade all the way down and you don't really see much extra except I get to see my kid in the back(Well worth $10 that I paid). When I use to drive Acura TL, it covered some of my blind spot. It didn't help on FJ

What I meant is that I am not Calisun, since I was answering a question that was directed to you. There was no joke intended.. at least I don't think so

I used to drive an Acura Legend and I hated when my friends pulled down the sunshade. It always knocked my rear view out of position. It did help a lot though and relied on it quite a bit. But when I got the FJ, my friends stopped pulling down the sunshade since it barely helped. I also realized it just let me see more of the D pillar. You could probably get the ones that span across the whole windshield, but IMO that's more trouble than its worth.

Re: Navigon 5100?

Got the 7100 today. It looks great. I think it's the best looking GPS on the market. I didn't get much time to play with it. Wife took it for a spin and had trouble with multiple destination planning. I'll check it out tomorrow and see. As far as I know, you can't plan multiple routes (stops) with Garmin until you move to the 750 and up series.
