Does the Sienna CE 2006 - have an Electronic Devices problem?
On page 117 of Owner's Manual it mentions two-way radios players etc.
without consulting your dealer.
I may have a CB, radar detector or a converter with a TV etc.
They also mention repairs in the same box (unrelated?) - on or near
the front seat belt pretensioning assemblies. The diagram (page 116)
of the locations of all that stuff is unclear. Does this mean storing
things under or around front seats is a no - no?

An unmodified CB radio does not generate enough power to interfere with the
electronic devices in most vehicles. Just do not mount the CB or 2-way
radio right next to any electronic control units (ECU). Most ECU's are
mounted under the dashboard or in the front kick panels so if you do not
attach the 2-way radios inside the dashboard or on the kick panels, you will
be OK. 6 inches away should be far enough.
Inverters, TVs, DVD players, laptops, etc. are unlikely to have any effect
on ECU's.

I believe the seat belt pre-tensioners are mounted in the B-pillar between
the front and side doors. Storing stuff under or around the front seats is
not a problem, other then possibly having the stuff slide forward and
interfere with the operation of the brake and accelerator pedals. If you
take a look at the tracks for the front seats, they may be elevated a few
inches to provide toe room for people sitting behind the front seats. Also,
there may be ductwork under the front seats to provide heated air to the
back seat passengers, so you want to make sure that anything you put under
the front seats doesn't interfere with the ductwork.
