Hi MMophy Looks Great ! Can you supply more details for the head unit ? model Display size Price Did you fit it your self - someone else ? Do al the steering wheels controls still function ? Is this one of the later wifi models ? or do you need to plug the phone in?

Probably too Late Kimmy - But if you haven't sussed by now - Maximum of 255 songs per folder I have 5 folders on my micro usb - If you have randomize on - it will treat them as one big disk

Just had my recall done with the 15000 service and I got this Brake cover too. Mine was set, as I assume most of you would have also, as Auto apply with park Position. I never go near the EPB switch so I am a bit annoyed with this new cover which looks to my eye a bit ugly And now I have nowhere for my garage remote to sit

Hi This Guy Insurance was about par with my previous Santa fe Tyre's - cant say yet - but I'm guessing around similar 500 odd when I need to replace Easy enough to google tyre prices based on tyre size Turbos are powered by the exhahust gases and at around 0.5 Bar will multiply engine by Half so your 1.2 basically becomes a 1.8 It does not strain the engine - if anything it becomes more nimble The servicing is fixed at $195 and costs half as less as a corolla Regarding economy - I'm averaging around 7.0 L per 100 Kms I have a great run to work in the morning averaging 5.9 - but a horrid drive home that takes me twice as long where I usually go 7.3 Edit 14th Mar - A couple of days after this post - John Cardogan put out a little article on small turbos - this might help you with your decision https://autoexpert.com.au/posts/the-truth-about-small-capacity-turbo-engines

Not how functioned in my previous vehicles - aircon would light up when set to lower temp when under Auto If I have to select Aircon and have lit - The light indicates its running all the time right - even when you pump heater up to max - aircon is still on

That's Good to know

With the warmer weather I am using the Climate control a bit more. I find it it very strange compared to my past vehicles Normally a low temp setting and Auto engages the air-conditioner But I also have to select the ac button as well or I just get hot air blowing at a fast rate Is everyone else's like this ?

Nor I :( I'm just getting over the Airbag recall for the wife's old Corolla which has been dragging on forever

Hi there Really ? I have not even looked at these, so sorry I can't really answer your question but I find the sound adequate There is a graphic equaliser in the head unit which should let you tweak some But this is what i will be looking to replace will be number one on the hit list see separate thread Sure your wife will love it !

Good job Chitty ! Yes it looks great !

You guys amaze me I would not attempt any of this in a fit ! Maybe on my old 1992:seca 😁

its one of these http://www.cubot.net/smartphones/max/

Probably everyone has their new units in Just wondered about phone connectivity with all of you with stock head unit I often miss calls or cant make them The Phone actually rings (usually on silent in my pocket) or if i try to dial out - nothing appears on the head unit but the phone itself will initiate the call Which I then can't hear because there in no Audio Therein the problem it says phone connects when get int he car but when checking Bluetooth profile on phone - Phone audio is not, and can't be selected Rebooting Un-pairing and re-pairing both, I can manage to connect and have phone audio on - on the profile But I know eventually the same will happen again Toyota don't claim compatibility with all phones maybe it's my phone ?

I believe it was a problem with Turkey manufactured vehicles only that had Dab radio I think that seemed to be the common factor

Lol Chitty.. At least you know they didn't dump an old head unit in your car Part of the problem is they designed the trim differently for the Aussie models ( and maybe US as they get a 7") You can see the ghosted pic of a flipped Aussie dash I have overlaid on the Euro Model below we are being dicked on some millimetres

Probably not what you are after and this is more for European models with diff units but there are a few good manuals here Link

Here's a console caddy I purchased of ebay that arrived today and is now in my console Bought from the same vendor that supplied the Gate slot kit so all matches Link for any of you that may be interested

Yeah - I found this too eventually - its really annoying - in the end I muted her in my previous unit you could adjust the sat nav volume with the knob when she was speaking - if not would adjust the actual music/volume

i had it done - It was free - why not ? - I organised it for first appointment at 8:30 and was over by 9:30

Just took a run to Ballarat on Saturday to see the Doctor Blake exhibition The car pulled brilliantly up the hills with the wife and I aboard I was Hovering around 7.0 / 7.1 all week But car is on 6.7 today after that trip And Tradie's day off today made for a smoother run to work 5.9 Loving this economy

Bumblebee ! It's a brave man that can pull this off

Don't need the toyota link app for that - mine does without

unless they remove the toyota link app and let the streaming service connect directly through the phone - as mazda do - I wont be touching it

I got the new car survey in an email today so I gave them another serve Form the reviews on the Play store - Toyota links sucks - hasn't been updated in years and the only reason to get it - Pandora - are now closing their doors in Australia I bought a micro usb of Ebay - put my 1000 + songs on it - Watch out - 255 files per folder limitation - so you can't dump them all in the root dir The micro usb sits pretty flush - but if you want to close the door - the thumb pull pulls of easily and and then you can - you'll need tweezers to pull it back out to add more songs

I'm sure if they were looking for a sale you could swing it. Not really much different for asking for other inclusions. I don't know the real price of this part number (86271-0E173 if you are interested) but can be found on ebay new for around $200 I found my wife's Mazda card on ebay for this price also - The dealer wanted $800 - for a SD card ! Anyway - I think it's poor form by Toyota - I don't want to have to pay again for maps when they do come out again Likewise - in my old car - I would put a new head unit in in a minute - I did. But my car is so shiny new - I don't want - and should not have to replace the Head unit I want that 8" from the Europe Models - Toyota Europe provides free map updates
