Restarting the 2009 discussion - With Pix of my new 5 door - Toyota Yaris Forums

I just noticed that there's a clear / transparent ring around the part where you insert the key. It looks like an ignition light, BUT it doesn't light up when I turn the car on or when I turn my headlights on...

Also, not sure if it's just some placebo type effect from the car being new, but it seems like it's much more quiet (less road noise) than the '07LB and it drives more "smoothly". The stock speakers also sound much better.

MicroImage sells an LED illuminated ring to replace that clear ring!
