as for the shipping. they use the underneath hooks for that. two in the rear... not the tow hook.
The cup holder thingy then is if you only ordered the i-pod connection whatchamacallit?
from what i've heard even people without teh additional ipod stereo were getting them
I'll have to look into that Thanks!
yeah. i just bought my 2006 xb yesterday. i got the standard stereo (even the standard stereo on the 06's has the aux input for the ipod, it's in the center).

I Know that but did you get the special holder for the cup holder for the MP3/Ipod/Cell phone as shown in the previous photo? and did you get the plugs as mentioned for under the car with your 2006?

Thanks for the replies!
If it's for towing, why isn't it centered on the bumper?

Are you all sure its not supposed to be flat bed towed only and that is just to hold it in place?

IMO an xB can NOT be towed with the back end up....the front would scrap too much!



Who needs the owners manual when we have Scion Life?? Gives us stuff to talk about! The OM is for when we're stranded somewhere with no computer.

Ok, I knew what it was for... but how do you use it? How do you pop it out? (Without scratching your bumper that is.)

So why isn't it centered on the bumper? Seems like being offset to one side like it is would affect towing it (like maybe make it drift to one side while towing).

It's not for towing as in towing a trailer. It's for getting pulled out of a ditch or onto a flatbed or whatever.

You all do realize that you probably can't get towed the regular way right?

I would assume anyways that our cars are too low and would have to be flat bed towed...at least Id make them do it that way if it ever came up!!

I still think its more of a hook area than TOW...JMO.
