Had a message flash up on the screen that the key ring/remote battery needs replacing 'contact dealer' but can't see how the unit comes apart.

Anyone repaced their battery in the remote?

Surely it doesn't need the dealer to do it?

I asked the salesperson today when I took delivery of my car. You have to pull the mechanical key out and you'll see a slit the same size as the tip of the mechanical key. You just have to stick the key in and pry the casing open. He didn't actually do it but it should work.

With the Smart Entry, if you battery is flat you can hold the key up to the start button (the Toyota logo held close to the start button), then you quickly pull the key away and immediately press the start button.

That interesting do you know if it is a magnetic swipe type device and maybe water proof?

It's a passive RFID override. In a way it is waterproof, but should you get water on the components and don't let it dry properly (or get salt water on it and don't rinse it), then you can damage the components.

sounds like if you have a car with a push button start, take full roadside assist IE RACV, NRMA, RACQ or whoever, complete care at least it should get you and your car home or to somewhere safe, most likely without, or maybe minimal cost!!

My key fob went flat the other day without any warning. Once I got into the car by using the secret key in the fob, I then put the key fob as close as possible to the start button and it detected the key and allowed me to start the car. I need a new battery so I am shopping around otherwise it is $22 from dealer unfitted.

The battery is CR1632 i think.

CR1632 isn't available at DSE but is available at Jaycar for $3.95

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.

      Rock sliders installation

      I've recently had a company install a set of Phat rocksliders and they've told me they hadn't fitted the centre bracket on the left side due to lack of clearance from the fuel tank and chassis rail. Is there a way to install this without dropping the fuel tank?
