I plan on owning this Hybrid for at least 6 years (that's when the warranty runs out), so I wouldn't mind that temperature gauge. I may look into those companies you suggested. I also need to get a remote starter installed by winter.

I've heard that the navigation system is week compared to others. But this is the only one I've ever seen, so to me it's the cats meow. But I understand the limitations you talk about. Maybe my next vehicle in 6 years will have a navigation system that includes satelite radio, weather and internet!

Speaking of the navigation system, I don't suppose it has an adapter to connect your I-pod to it, eh? I'm thinking not.
