first week of new Titan

Dielectric Lab · 12-16-2006, 10:33 AM

My Titan finally arrived on Monday after waiting for it since September. Well, after driving it for one week I have to say I am very pleased with my choice. There are only two things I don't like though. One is that the arm rest has to be raised each time the seatbelt is put on or taken off, but really not that big a deal. The second thing I don't like is how the radio light reflects in the rear window at night, so when I glance in the rear view mirror the first thing I see is an amber light. I dimmed the interior lights to help, but I don't think I should have to do that. Anyone else have that problem with the radio light and were able to fix it?

Just dim your dash lights a little more and it won't bother you that much. I don't get bothered by that that reflection anymore. I have a bench seat, so I can't help with the other thing.

Do you have a CC or KC?

Hey, welcome to the forum. I've got an LE CC and see the temp guages in my rear view. Just got use to it an it doesn't bother me anymore I guess. Also, the seat belt thing you got to get use to as well. Glad you like your ride so far. I still love driving the thing more and more every day!!! You'll get lots of info here!!!

Welcome to TT, congrats on the new Titan. As for reflection, I have a CC so it's not bad, I do get the reflection of the overhead display (compass, temp.) but there is an option to turn that off.

King Cab. I am wondering how the reflection is going to be effected once I get the tint installed.

I have pretty much got use to the armrest thing. But the first couple of times I trying plugging the belt into the armrest. It is now becoming habit to flip it up first when I go to get out, then it's out of the way when I return.

The other thing I am still trying to figure out is where the best place to put my radar detector is. At first I had it opposite the satellite radio antenna, but the first time I was driving into the sun and had to use my sun visor I realized I couldn't keep it there. So now it is just under the rear view mirror. I can't put it where I'd like it because of that black textured stuff at the top center of the wind shield.

If you lean a bit to the left, you can get your hand under the armrest enough to click it in. It annoyed me at first too but after trying that, I put on the seatbelt without thinking about it anymore.
