  1. You're welcome DeafDave, Yes my car is 2016, Regarding harness, all cables were included when I bought the screen. For Languages there are more Languages available including Arabic, English, Chinese, Portugal and Japanese etc.. Direct Link: Do you mean to buy this item?
  2. Hi DeafDave, They are all soft-touch now through a dedicated control window inside the touch screen, I will post a photo
  3. In Middle East, the Camry is V4, and has a bit larger interior, the Aurion is a must V6. Aurion, Avalon and Lexus LS350 shares both Engine and transmission in Middle East market.
  4. Hi Guys, I thought to share with you what I bought recently from local market. It's the first time I see a navigation screen this big for the Aurion. It's an Android system, 32gb storage, 1gb RAM. One issue I noticed with it is when I turn on the headlights, only the button decreases the sound works, others doesn't, but if headlight is turned off (light daytime) all buttons works perfectly (+-<>). You know any Chinese product doesn't do the job 100% 😴. I also noticed in China they call the Aurion as "Camry", although it's an Aurion.
  5. After re-reading the link posted earlier in the topic replies, reconsidering more understanding and reading elsewhere, I am able to finally conclude for my specified environment the best option is either: 10w-30 or 5w-40, they are competing with each other. 10w-30 is thicker than 5w-30 and is considered better for hot climate for the Aurion as we talk here. The lowest temperature the cars starts at in my case is 35 degree Celsius, so according to the chart I have to go thicker as the oil thinns due to high temperature and 30 works well to handle hot weather. The second option 5w-40 is as good as 10w-30 as it possesses cold start 5w to flow faster on cold start and does not run thinner when operating in high temperature as compared to (5w-30), which is the thinner of both. This is the reason our dealership in SA has chosen to go with 5w-40 all the times. Great choice.
  6. Ok I think I got an idea out of the Aurion oil chart. We all know that #W (5W, 10W, 15W or what ever) talks about resistance to flow in Winter, multigrade oils, while the next number lets say 5W-30 ( number 30) talks about oil viscosity grade. Then the Aurion Chart or almost all Toyota Charts says: "Temperature Range Anticipated before next oil change". So what this basically means is: if you are in Summer with high temperature like me and uses 10W-30, and you are expecting the next oil change would be in Winter time with low temperature range, then you better downgrade to 5W-30 (5W is the important number here) in order to have smooth start under low temperature range. But the -30 next to #W remains unchanged, this concludes that 5w-30 is perfectly nice enough and works as good as 10w-30 as they both have 30 grade of viscosity. This is why it didn't matter in the chart if the number with "W" goes higher and higher to the right side when temperature goes higher and higher. While it made a difference when temperature goes LOWER. Any comments about my findings?
  7. Thank you very much. I think the oils viscosity here are conventional oil markets unless it is specified Synthetic. I attached the SPECS of my Castrol Magnatec oil, (meets ILSAC GF-5 SN API. after running 8K kilometers the technician checked the oil and thought that I changed it last week, it was clean. Do You think I still have to move to 5w-40 synthetic oil or this should be about just right choice?
  8. Thank you for the reference, yeah I am in Dubai, very hot. The minimum temp. is 35 all night. Doesn't go lower except in winter time. I think the dealership uses 5w-40 fully synthetic oil. Do you think this choice is good enought? I can't understand why Ford motor company says outside temperature doesn't matter for their cars. Is the outside temperature Really not a problem for cars? And toyota being just careful about it.
  9. Hello guys, I find your forum to be very professional and I would like to present my queries to the subject matter but it is somehow different, Have a look at the attached photo from my Aurion temp.guage. In my area it is 50 degree Celsius.. I currently use Castrol Magnatec 5w-30, and I am wondering of this is an optimal choice for this very hot 🔥 environment. Knowing that Ford cars in my area are all using 5w-20 or 5w-30 in their cars, I am not following them or comparing. I know design differs, but just making sure to mention this. Now I have somewhere in the user manual a chart saying if temp is going high to right direction then use 10w-30 or higher viscosity. I can't judge how practical is this chart. Need some information and advice guys.
