I sent you an email also...

Sorry to see, but glad you're o.k. I assume the trunk cargo net works in Gen 2s? Or was it generation specific?

Appreciate the ideas and comments. I'll give this a try soon...not in traffic as I head home, however! ;-) There's a reputable transmission shop I'd likely bring it to. Had them do some work on my '87 Cougar a few years ago...and I agree on the fluid change...just hate to mess with anything...

So I payed special attention to the noise last night as I drove home from work. Here's what happens. If I come to a relatively slow stop, as I'm down to maybe 10 mph or so, right before the tranny shifts into low gear, (tach around 800 rpm) I hear the "chugga-chugga-chugga" noise and then it...

I can try...it's not real loud

This is interesting. What you describe is very much what I'm hearing with my car. I will try to do the same tests that you did but I think mine does the same.

OK, I guess I should have elaborated a little more...I bought the car 2 years ago with 22,500 miles on it and the front brakes and rotors were replaced by the dealer I purchased it from. Unfortunately, they (Toyota/BMW/Audi/VW) Dealer likely were not familiar with the LS (took it in on a...

Resurrecting an old post, but I have the exact same thing happening, and it's not fuel level related. In fact, it's not even 100% reproducible (doesn't do it all the time). But, if I stop at what I consider a typical level of braking I get this sound described above. If I stop real easy, it...

Thanks, Joe. My only thought was to MAYBE use it as a cheaper alternative to the aftermarket navigation h/u's out there. Probably not worth the effort, as you note above. It's hard to plunk down a grand or more for a nice Pioneer nav unit, and it seems they still don't have the greatest...

I bought one of these as well, but it was more of an experiment to decide if I wanted to use it on my non-THX system. I see that the connectors are incompatible for the most part to my stock base system, so it just sits in my basement. I guess mine may be bad as well...no way to know!

2006 just turned 35K

Love the Vulcanis! Great looking car as well.

I know I've read that people post for sale listings on here in-lieu of the actual classifieds section due to higher traffic on the model-specific area, so here goes... Perhaps this will fall under the category "better late than never"... I was back in my home state of WI about a month ago. On...

I rather like the scissor door one, actually...not that I'd spend the $$$$ to do that, however!

In reading some more old posts, I should mention my car doesn't have Advance Trak, as I see there was a TSB for a popping noise similar to what I'm hearing.
