Curious on the Release 3.0 xB which of the options came from the factory and which were port installed?

Security?

Radio?

Flat Screens?

Spoiler?

Thanks,
John

 

I think I read somewhere that the headrest screens are installed at the port. I would think the security would be also, but not sure.

 

Yes everything that comes with the package is port installed. The cars off the ship bare. They have to put the rear valance on and everything on the interior.

 

^^^True statement. The entire RS package except the paint job gets installed at port...

 

Curious whether all the noise and rattles in the xB are from production or port installation?

Do you get more rattles with more options?

I am satisfied with car with the exception of rattles. If all Toyota products rattle like this my next car will not be a Toyota.

I am surprised Toyota has not corrected the problems in the 3 years of production.

The rear valance doesn't get installed until it reaches the dealer. The HU, headrests, and spoiler are all installed @ the port. I guess you wonder how I know. I have connections j/k I believe the security is installed @ the dealer.

 

actually, on my xB, everything was done at port. The dealer dopped in the extras (fllor mats, fgos, and interior LEDS), but the package stuff was all done at port.

 

3 years??? Try 7 years of bB production. Plus we got more sound deadening than the bB got. I think it's a by-product of all the plastic stuff.

 

Do people without any port / dealer options installed also have the same rattle problems?

I was curious if it was caused by taking the trim off and putting it back on.

Thanks,
John

Should I take my car to the dealer to have the rattles fixed or live with them?

I still really like the car. It is roomy, fun to drive, and sips gas!

 

John, They may be able to solve some of them. I find them and eliminate them myself.

 

Yes Sir! You know what they say? Want something done right, DO IT YOURSELF!!!


Come on now.. its a 15k car... made of aluminum foil, two bolts, some string, and 1.5tons of plastic and you expect it not to rattle/shake/make noises???

And I love everybit of my boxes!!!!!!

 

I've seen a few posts about people fixing rattles. Many of the actions taken are very simply. I'm surprised scion doesn't take them into account in future years.

It is a $15K car, but it is a $15K car intended to get you to buy one of their $30K cars.

I bought it as an inexpensive commuter car but also in an attempt to see what all the fuss was about toyota having such great quality.

Where can I find information on how to properly disassemble the scion's interior without trashing the trim panels?

Thanks,
John

 

there is a tutorial in the forum about taking the interior off under a neon lighting install topic.... i found i really dont have any rattles that i notice.. maybe the driver door panel a little but it dont do it when i rest my arm there.... ill listen more closely and get back to the topic
