    Welcome and congrats!
    Any pics?

    Take care of your "c" and it will take care of you!

    You should see a very nice mpg increase from the upgrade....even if you drive like a nutcase!

    Sorry if this is a double getting used to all this.. Ok follow up to my newness.. Thanks for all the replies and for this forum even being here.. If one takes the time to research through the posts there is a wealth of info! Thought i would share the journey so far.

    OK just this week I replaced the head unit with a New Jenson with apple car play. ( the nav is great thanks to the iphone) What a sound difference even with the stock front door speakers!. (Yes i learned there are only the fronts.. Also at least if your is a ONE series you can get a key made anywhere.. No chip! So now I have 2. The one has the door open and close buttons ( no alarm I've noticed) and the other is a plain Jane. ( still trying to find some info on programing a new fob on a non-chip system)

    Even tough my C has 128k on the clock . Thanks to a carfax and Toyota record keeping . It essential had the HV battery replaced in DEC of 17. ( I assume just under the warranty limit of 80k.) and the 12v replace in 1/20 just before trade in. Got to love the way one can research the "pedigree" of a vehicle nowadays.. Well enough of the rambling Thanks for everything gang!! Off to the next upgrade!
