Hy DJKor. I have ordered on one the units from eBay's Autome tonight (and one for my wifes new CR-V).

Do you have the image for step 10. I am very nervous, as I have no experience with this stuff, but am a little confident from the ease other owners has shared with there install.

Thanks

Unfortunately they are on my laptop at home... which I am away from for the next 3 weeks. You can't miss it though. There are two 10mm bolts at the top and two at the bottom both silver in colour. You will easily see it when you look at it. You'll be fine mate. The process is easy.

Yea...the HU is sitting like on a chair with 2 legs at the top and 2 at bot. Both screws on each side have silver colours. That's what you have to unscrew before you're able to remove completely the HU. Good Luck with that.

The guide gave me confidence to do it the other night. Thanks.

DO you guys remove the air vents by prying it from the top?

I find that this damages the soft dash trim.

I've seen videos prying it from the buttom (against the hard surface of OEM head unit) and thats what I did.

The clips between the head unit and climate control confused me.

Didn't know I have to remove the climate control too from the plates.

Sure do... using my hands only. With just enough fingernail, you can grip it with enough force to be able to pull it out. Done it numerous times without a single mark.

I recently replaced the basic Toyota head unit with the Toyota display head unit, main reason for replacement was the use of USB sticks and bluetooth. Got the head unit from ebay $200 and the head unit surround from Toyota $30, I also bought plastic panel removal kit from supercheap auto for about $12 made the job a bit easier. The new Toyota display head unit is a bit buggy, sometimes does not display USB folder options and sometimes does not display previously called numbers through bluetooth.

Anyway during my search for the best way to remove head unit I found this youtube vid and it seam the easiest way to remove the head unit. Worked for me, you just have to watch you don't drop the head unit retaining bolts during removal and install. Oh and don’t get so excited like I did and put the new head unit in then all the other bits back together only then to realise you forgot head unit retaining bolts! Luckily this method is so easy there was no stress to open it all up again.

I have the old head unit from my SX6 (6 stacker) as I have replaced this with a different unit and want to put this into my wifes ATX (single disc). This should be as easy as a straight swap over but once these units are disconnected from the power do they require a pin code or something once reconnected?

I have recently replaced my stock (single disc) headunit in my 08 ATX with a 6 stacker.

It was as easy as plug n play. shouldnt take you more then 10 mins. I dont believe there are any codes or security features on the units...

mabe one of the Mods can confrim? :huh:

There is an option on the 6 stacker to put a code on it, however it isn't set from stock. This merely asks for the code if power source is interrupted, so if stolen, it can't be used in another car without the code. (Doesn't stop someone stealing it in the first place though <_< which kinda defeats the purpose...

Not sure if its too late for you, but perhaps this may help someone else that reads this in the future...

Okay, the guide is a bit rough, but it demonstrates the key points. Tools needed are a flat blade screwdriver and a 10mm socket or spanner. If your hands and fingers are small like mine, you only will need the shifter.

1) Firstly put the shifter into neutral and open the centre console box:

2) Then you need to unclip the top section of the centre trim. You can use the screwdriver to pry it apart, or your fingers:

3) Unplug the two connectors that I have circled in red:

4) Go to the front of the trim and using your fingers, pull back and away from the A/C controls to release the clips. Repeat for the other side:

5) Unplug the cigarette lighter power connector as circled in red:

Hi All,

I have recently bought a 2012 Aurion which I could not be more than happy with and am now looking to hard wire in a dash cam to the cigarette lighter.

Would the above steps work for a 2012 model Aurion in order to access the wires behind the cigarette lighter? I tried doing the step 2 mentioned however nothing came out. Before trying further I thought I would ask on here for some advise, does anyone have any tips on how to do this on a 2012+ model Aurion?

Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      Check your fuel lines to the filter. The factory clamps are designed for quick removal but sometime come lose enough to allow air. I replaced all mine with 'worm drive' clamps.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
