In Japan and Europe, it has some serious gadgetry available and pretty upscale trim. Why do they think we would not be interested in that?

To wit: MINI Cooper!

Don't Americans tend to buy top-of-the-line trim more often than not? Would it really be that hard for Toyota to offer the option? I'm sure their Yaris sales would quadruple at least if they made the inside as attractive as the outside is.]]>Feb 21st 2008 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/

And as far as rebranding Eclipse equipment is concerned: FujtisuTen has been a long-standing supplier of OEM head units for all kinds of Toyota models (the other main vendor is Panasonic). The unusual thing here is rather that FujitsuTen is also selling them :)]]>Feb 22nd 2008 7:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2007/02/28/mystery-tomtom-gps-unit-hits-fcc/ ]]>Feb 22nd 2008 8:30AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/Feb 22nd 2008 9:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/Feb 22nd 2008 9:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/

It works well. The maps get corrupted every now and then and I've reloaded it twice, but that only takes a few minutes. The iPod kit work pretty well and charges while you drive. It also has a usb port for thumb drives. If you hook it up to your lights and speed sensor cables it will keep computing speed through tunnels and other obstructions and will dim the display when your lights are on. The bluetooth feature works great with my razr phone for hands-free calling and address book sync, but the built-in mic doesn't sound too great from what people tell me. The tuner does a good job for me, although I do get some crackle on the AM with talk radio.

The TomTom software is both Mac and PC compatible and is easy to use for changing voices and revving the software.

Not a bad deal for the $325 it cost me from CC back in December. Installation was easy in my truck using the pre-amp outs. ]]>Mar 25th 2008 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/21/new-toyota-yaris-sr-includes-dockable-tomtom-gps/Feb 23rd 2008 8:50PM
