Blocked off options on 2006 HiHy

[HappyHiHy]

Hi ...

I hope someone on this forum has some answers.

1. What is available behind the three blank buttons on the steering wheel?
2. What could be installed in the blank square on the dash on the right of the steering wheel?
3. Is there BlueTooth that can be activated? and how? Please share if anyone has done it.
4. Anyone use CoastTech's products? Ultimate Lockpick 1? Bluetooth Lockpick 1? or any of the other things that they sell for the Highlander Hybrid.
5. Anyone install rear view cameras?
6. What is the model number of the Nav system?
7. What is the model number of the 6-disc CD changer?
8. Anyone seen a Japanese Kluger? Is their 2006 the same as ours? Do they have other after market accessories available?
9. Anyone install a CargoLiner? It looks like a great solution and provides lots of coverage. How is the quality of the material? Easy to install? Hold up well?
10. Anyone find a better cup holder solution? I hate the square slots ... round tips over and mugs are a pain.

Sorry for the long list of questions, but I'd love to know what else can be used that I don't have access to. And, hear everyone's comments about any of the above too.

Also, please share your sources for aftermarket accessories too (especially Japanese ones).

Thanks ... I look forward to actively participating with this group.

1&2--wires and space...use your imagination I guess.
3)No BT
4)Not personally, they work well, be prepared to deal with poor customer service from coastal, but their products are top notch.
5)not I
6&7)No idea, shouldn't be hard to find out though.
8)I've seen the images, not in person. They're similar but not identical. I'd contact SigmaAutomotive.com to see what they have/can get as they get a lot of JDM stuff for the Prius.
9)I have the same liner as is used for the floor in the driver's area and such. Is that what you mean or is it more one of those waterproof type liners you're referring to?
10) I actually like the center console holder...you know it's adjustable right? I know what you're saying though, it's not that adaptable.

Our HiHy is primarily my wife's vehicle and she won't let me play too much moding it out. I did add an engine block heater, but that's about it.

In my car two of the three buttons to the left of the steering wheel are not empty.
The outer on is to turn on the third row seat heater.
The middel one is a security system light, lets you know your car is safe, it is not a button.
Inner one is empty on my car, so no idea.
There is a little plastic filler almost under the dash to the right of the wheel next to the center console, apparently this is for a tire pressure monitoring system.

In addition to the security LED and the rear heater control, the third blank button behind the steering wheel is to activate the 115v power outlet that comes with the rear seat entertainment DVD system. Besides the AC power outlet, there are video and audio jacks mounted at the bottom rear of the center console.

After a 2 years of sitting on my bee-hind, I finally ordered the Lockpick from CoastalETech yesterday, we'll see how it works.
