For our Camry, at 60km/h, it becomes quite noisy (a good use of the moonroof as a speed indicator lol)

Thanks for the input!

So... what you're saying is you want a color no one else likes?

To me, it is the same or slightly quieter than other cars I have had with a sunroof including 2001 Toyo Corolla, 2003 Dodge Caravan and 2005 Honda Accord.

Hmm.. interesting... So the only advantage is rear headroom because the moonroof slides above the roof rather than in between the roof and the headliner/ceiling.

But then that begs the question. Why is a larger deflector needs over the smaller plastic ones in the regular moonroofs to achieve the same level of quietness (or wind buffeting). Keep in mind that the moonroof has two opening positions with the first one meant to reduce wind buffeting.

No one has pics of the Silver?

Keep in mind that the moonroof glass is the full width of the roof, quite a bit wider than a standard in roof moonroof. The interior opening is fairly large as well. In my Scion Tc, which has the same design roof, I find it to be quieter at low to moderare speeds than most others I have experienced.

Well this s redundant, but for the sake of consistency I'll post this album here too:

I don't want to hijack the photo thread, but I thought I'd try a quick answer here. Any more discussion probably should go in a separate thread.

Quick answer: You can't close the armrest fully AND have a cord come out. Qualification: I looked at this question closely, but I didn't try the hookup.

You can close the armrest ALMOST all the way, and it appears to stay in place. Still, it seems to be a design flaw. Why have the AUX in a place that is so inaccessible, then? I'll look tomorrow to see if there is a way to have the armrest fully closed and yet have a line come out so the iPod/iPhone can be in use and view while connected.
