Just messing with ya, never owned a Toyota but always heard they were great cars. Their trucks from back in the '90's had some problems with the frames rusting out, a co-worker of my wife had one and they gave him KBB value for his two years ago to take the truck off american roads. They ended up shipping all of them down to Mexico.

:driving::supercool:

Now you've gone and done it. I ordered one 30 seconds after I saw this story. What a great gag gift. I'll let you know if its as cool as the story suggests.

Did not work for me, January 3, 2010

By Maurizio Laudisa



I was kind of excited about this silly little gadget, considering I was looking to use it for a bit of fun on my month-old Mercedes E350 Coupe', not a low end beater! I had had a similar idea about 6-7 years ago, and I was thrilled and bemused to see someone actual carry out something like this, I thought it was a cool little gadget.



When the package arrived today, I immediately read the instructions on how to sync the device to the car's FM radio, and the engine revolutions. The instructions are simple and easy to follow enough, no complaints there. The device easily synced with my FM stereo, and the idling was fine. It also seemed to sync-up when I revved up the engine, per instructions. However, as soon as I started pressing the accelerator again, the device starting revving up and never followed the engine up or down, getting "stuck" on the same engine level at around 3,000 rpm. I repeated the procedure a couple of times, same results. I then tried it on my other car, a Toyota Echo: same results exactly. I had ordered two of these (the V-8 and the V-10), and they both behaved in the same way. On top of that, frankly the sound itself is pretty fake and "electronic", it does not have the depth and tonality of a real engine.. it's sounds tinny and "synthetic", which of course it is.



So all in all, even though I'm still amused at the ingenuity of the inventors, I am disappointed that neither of these worked for me, and will be returning both units.




Looks like I'll be saving the 40 bucks plus tax and shipping. :sad:
 
My Gen2 already sounds like that!! And all it cost me is $1500 bucks, give or take a few. Cool device if it really does work. BC :driving:
 
I think im gonna have to get one, just for kicks and giggles. But Jerry, you can still listen to your sound system. I am counting on my subs to make the experience seem a little more real with the low range
