I love my new BLACK Lexie. However, I wish I was given some good info/advice on remove the water spots. Will the Toyo Guard that came with it do the job? I looked on line at info regarding the care of Black cars and read Mother's cleaning wax did a good job.
Any ideas?

OK, depending on how paranoid you are, if someone steals your car they can find your home if you do this...so it might be a good idea to program in a place that is near your home but not actually your home.

I forget all the choices but I went to a nearby shopping center and just pushed a button and it record the lat/long of where I was, not an actual address.

- how to turn off the back-up beep
- that CD slot was behind navigation panel
- that I'd need to drill in the back to attach a cargo net

Overall, had a very positive experience with Novato Toyota in CA

Nope, the bladder is still used on the 2010. I believe Toyota is using this design to help minimize gasoline vapor emissions. So I don't think they will change back to a hard tank.

Bladder has been removed and is not on 2010. This has been discussed on numerous threads in PC. Toyota has redesign the system to comply with emission standards.

I wish the dealer told me how to disable the beeps when in reverse. There must be a way to disable this annoying feature.

Hey rjv...I grew up in Ventura from 1952-1970....we disabled the reverse beep and when door unlocks changed it to unlocking all doors...and no beeping with drivers seat belt undone....search the forums here simple to do takes a few minutes and two hands with your fob.

To change the reverse beep in the 2010 you have to go to the dealership to have it reset (from constant to 1 beep). You could do it yourself in the G2's.
