FJ Hurricane

Convinced manager at the dealership that the Toyota VIP Alarm and Audiovox Remote Start were not working together as all alarms and remote starts should. They agreed to remove both the alarm and remote start from the FJ and refund my money.

When I purchased the FJ, I had purchased a Toyota remote start system, but they weren’t able to get it installed before I picked it up. The dealer installed the new remote start system today and had the 1000 mile oil change (at about 950 miles). When I picked the FJ back up from the dealer tonight, I wasn’t satisfied with the remote start system they installed. Once the vehicle is started, the keyfob gets disabled, so you can’t unlock the doors with the remote, you have to use your key and once the vehicle is started via the remote start, it can’t be stopped with the remote start. This is the 4th vehicle I’ve had remote starts in, so I know they don’t know what they’re doing. Dealer said thats how they always do it and no one has complained before (only because those people don’t know the functionality of a real remote start). I showed them all the places in the manual they crossed out in black due to them disabling those features and told them I wanted it taken out. They’l have a manager call me.

I picked up my new FJ from the dealer tonight. Rides great and much more comfortable than the test drive one was. Toyota has made a lot of improvements since their earlier versions of this first year model.

…and yet I can’t have it. My FJ arrived at the dealer today, but they have to prepare it before I can get my hands on it. Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving, I’ll have it late on Friday.

I test drove and ordered a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser today!
