Shocking Yaris!?

[suckerface]

I had this problem for the longest time in my '08 HB too. My gf, who rode shotgun as much as I drove, never had this problem. Even when she drove, very rarely would she get a shock, and if she did, it was nothing compared to what I got. One day, out of the blue, it stopped happening though, and has continued to not happen for almost a month. Only thing I can think of that stopped it was a very thorough detailing on my car when it got warm enough out (it's still barely 40* F in WI). I'm planning on getting a grounding kit from Garm in the near future (http://shop.microimageonline.com/NRG...Kit-GK-100.htm) to see if that helps the few light ones I get now and then. I'm also hoping it'll help the poor quality sound through my AUX input as well.

Glad to know I'm not the only one with this zapping problem

I've only gotten zapped a couple of times with my yaris (over the 2 years I've owned it). One of my previous cars (a pontiac) used to do it EVERY time. It got to the point where I would touch my key to the frame of the car before touching my foot to the ground every time I got out of the car.

er... a grounding kit helps with the electrical connections within the car. It wouldn't do anything for this problem.
