We had some snow this week, and I decided to push my Matrix a little and test its performance limit. On safe open sections of road, of course! I have an 04 XR...
Or at least I think that it is the cap. I noticed that the power steering reservoir was covered in a oily film. I cannot find any leaks from the hoses, and...
I've got an 04 XR AWD, and we've had some snow the past 2 weeks with pretty bad road conditions.I've been really happy with the performance.I have the stock...
Hey Everyone, I have a 2005 Base Model Toyota Matrix. I am looking to install an aftermarket stereo, so I can listen to my MP3 player through AUX Inputs. My...
My boyfriend just replaced mine. It was really easy to do. You'll need to get a dash kit as well. The only problem we had is that the antenna plug is too small...
There is a Word document in the files/Tech Documents area for our group called "Removal of the Center Console.doc". Here is the link, to save you the trouble...
Why do that, for around $30.00 you can get an FM wireless transmitter, called the IRock, it's been getting great reviews, and you can play all the mps's you...
I got my new radio so I could play mp3s but also because it had a cassette player, which is what I wanted when I got the car but with the XRS you can't get...
Actually I tried the iRock. Its probably the best FM Modulator out there, but still not good enough for where I live. I liev in San Diego, CA. All the stations...
Hey Everyone, Okay so my main reason to swap out my factory AM/FM/CD stereo is because I want to listen to my MP3 players. I've tried 5 different FM ...
Well, quite frankly, the way I really listen to my tunes is with a pair of headphones and my Creative Zen Xtra 40GB MP3 player. I know, I know, it's suppose to...
... Rick, And if you use earbuds, it looks like you are using one of those hands-free cell phone adapters ;-) Phillipe, Not sure what OEM Toyota radios fit -...
... That's what the e-brake is for! ;o ... Standard Front-wheel-drive strategy - more power Scotty! Let the front wheels pull you where you want to go. This...
Hello Fellow Members, Does anyone know how to back off the clutch a little bit on the Matrix?? In fact can someone tell me which cable is the clutch, or help...
Greetings! ... This would be good to know because I find the clutch it pretty deep on the Matrix, especially when I try to start it. I find I have to mash the...
Greetings! ... while ... corner ... I'm guilty of this too, especially when I know the curve is slippy. I would highly recommend that everyone take an Ice...
I can hear ambient noises very easy with earbuds, but less with headphones. Since motorcyle cops use one for their radios, but just one side, I guess you can...
... There is a "Clutch Start Switch" that controls this. See the picture from the manual: I can't tell from this picture whether the position of the switch is...
... Rick, Can't vouch for the "other" Matrix' but my XRS has a hydraulic clutch (master cylinder on firewall; slave cylinder on tranny) not a cable. Why do...
Did I miss something here??? I had, thrown out to the group, my need to make a clutch adjustment, asked if anyone had a diagram, and the next thing I know...
3rd gear sometimes shifts rough, and sometimes smooth. I believe I am depressing the pedal relatively the same every time. I do notice that it shifts into 3rd...
Sorry I got sidetracked. Here are the pictures and text from the service manual concerning clutch pedal height adjustment. Karl 04 XR manual 2WD 1. INSPECT AND...
... Rick, 3rd gear sometimes shifts rough for me also (1st as well - especially when cold). I've read on the Matrix Owner's forum that switching to a...
It is awesome. I've had Sirius for about two years now and don't miss moronic DJ's one bit. My tuner is mounted under the passenger seat and since you don't...

Hey All, I have a red blinking light from the radio in my 03 Matrix. I looked in the manual but there is nothing in there about it. It is not an alarm though...
... I think it is just to signify that the alarm security on the radio is active. If you yank it out and put it in another Matrix (or any other car for that...
because it shifts kind of clunky in 1st and 3rd, and I haven't even got 3k miles on it yet! ... __________________________________________________ Do You...
