even at three bars on the new gen, I feel like I’m going to crash into the person in front of me! I’m trying to get used to it but…. I’m actually finding myself posting this here in the hopes that someone who is able to change it takes this feedback and makes the space gap much larger like it was 10 years ago.

And why is there no way to turn on the back lights when it’s off unless front lights are on!

And I miss the sideview mirror being able to manually flip back so I could look at my face (not when driving)

HUD doesn’t really have super useful information a lot of the time… I wish it would give me a heads up about upcoming exits or directions for where I’m going or more information.

I miss the navigator that had a list of upcoming exits and was downloaded into the computer

all in all, amazing vehicle. Just wanted to voice those things in case someone on here reads it who can make changes…

every time I start my new sienna, I hear a fast thumping like a racing heartbeat that lasts maybe around 10 seconds Ish and then stops. What is that? Normal?

Also, with the car on but nothing else, I hear a static sound, like a radio turned to a static channel. The sound system is off and the HVAC is off. Any ideas?

when not lucid in a dream, and when in this life Bardo, other sentient beings appear the same. Right? There’s no way to differentiate, is there? From the subjective perspective, whether in rigpa or not, it’s sort of like we have to take a leap to assume that there is another subjective sentient being, no?

Forgive me, I’m trying to find the words to articulate the question I’m trying to ask and I hope this wording might make some sense…

TLDNR: is there a way to tell the relative difference between a sentient being/ a karmic mind stream, and a delusional projection that appears to be a sentient being in my sleeping dream? From the subjective, ordinary perspective they appear exactly the same, right?

when I am dreaming, if I meet someone new and have a conversation with them, then I wake up in the morning, they are gone. They were essentially unborn. but they seemed like a sentient being while I was dreaming. Then, in this waking-dream bardo we are in here now, if I meet someone new, they appear to me just the same as they did in my dream. I make the assumption in both that I’m talking to a sentient being- a mind stream with karma and a subjective perspective. of course ultimately, both are essentially shunyata, but relatively, the person in my sleep dream was 100% delusion on my part, but you hear reading this are a mind stream, just like I appear to be.

thank you!

have you done it? Anything I should know about doing it?

my motive is to minimize cell signal/EMF type vibes jumping back-and-forth between my car and satellites and cell towers.

So far I’ve totally disconnected from all connective services, but I hear that there is still some extent of connection between my car and cell towers and I want to know how to physically disconnect the router. Has anyone done this?

Thank you!

just got a new generation and it seems like only the lights in the front seats in the ceiling will turn on when the car is off. Is there anyway to turn them on in the back? Just the simple little ceiling lights. Thank you!

please recommend a reliable app that will let me download up-to-date maps for driving across the country that I can stream to the carplay screen. I know I’m going to be driving through areas without service like death valley so I want it downloaded like the old navigation system was.

I would really love something that has a scrolling list of upcoming and previous exits that shows whether there will be gas stations or rest stops coming up like the navigation system used to have in my 2017.

I know i could just use the hotspot/Wi-Fi, or I could use satelite, but I’d rather avoid the extra electricity/emf/wifi vibes.

thank you!!

has anyone tried a dash mini, aenaeder 12L or anything else like that?

Thank you!

i’m extremely hypersensitive to the sensation of hunger and digestion and it causes anxiety. I just discovered using a vibrator on the back of my spine by my stomach when I’m feeling hungry and eating and oh my gosh this is completely changing my life! It’s such a relief! Even though it’s awkward and kind of hilarious I feel so much better!

Can you suggest other sensory tools like vibration to help with hypersensitivity?

Thank you!

Is road noise quieter? How about when sitting parked, does it dampen outside sounds? thank you!

are there two central channels that combine as one? I was taught that they share one heart with one seed syllable and the mantra revolving around that

does anyone else have this? I have heard it called visceral hypersensitivity or interroceptive hypersensitivity, but I think it’s because of paying too much attention to the sensation of hunger. Now I am recovered, but still, sensations in my stomach feel so extremely loud and hyper hyper hyper sensitive. I’m wondering if I can find something to help with this.

It feels like I need to protect my stomach from outside stimuli because it’s so sensitive and it takes a lot of energy! Thank you so much!

anyone else feel extremely hypersensitive to the sensation of hunger and digestive sensations? and it’s not just that the sensations are loud, it’s like if I try to turn my attention away from them, my stomach clenches up… I feel as though my digestive system needs my attention on it in order to digest… How else can I describe this?

it developed over the course of many years with a combination of anorexia, dinner table trauma, and yes IBS. It affects my life a lot a lot a lot and I would so love to heal this.

A therapist suggested that I just stop giving the sensation so much attention, even if it causes my digestion to clench up, to sort of force my brain to learn to digest on its own without being so loud and without my attention. But I’m needing more suggestions on how to ignore a sensation that is so loud as though you stubbed your toe or burned your finger? That’s how loud the sensation is for me… All suggestions for what has worked for you are welcome! 🙏🏽 🙏🏽

I want to put a 2 inch lift on my 2026 sienna because I’m on a forest road and live somewhere snowy, but I’m concerned that it’ll affect the accuracy of things like the cruise control and other safety features. If you put a lift on, have you noticed any difference? Thank you for the tips!

I don’t know anything about negotiating. I put down a deposit and it should come in soon. The quote is offered on the spot

Thank you!

how to practice being what seems like two at once?

is merit generation and virtue practice kind of like creating causes and conditions, patterns of energy that will lead to the liberation of the mindstream who has that intention? It’s a scientific question… I don’t know if it’s really possible to understand it conceptually

can you recommend something like a hot plate or a way to cook on a pan by using the power supplied by the inverter? It says it can power a slow cooker! I’m wondering if there’s some lower wattage brands out there for a hot plate or another solution for easy camping that would be compatible that you’ve had good experience with and wood recommend? Thank you!

when you turn off the car, does it turn totally off or does the music stay on or other electric things?

What are some of the biggest differences between this trim and the lower trims?

Thank you!
