Adamsy, don't you already have a Presara sat nav unit in yours?

As for fitment, I don't have any photos but you've seen mine anyway, with the single DIN, pocket, and side fillers. Fits pretty tidy. Theres about a 1mm gap between the side fillers and the pocket/HU, but thats because the pocket is made from crappy plastic so when you screw it all together nice and tight, it doesn't take long for the plastic thread to losen and strip out. I really need to get into Gunns and grab some bolts and nuts, drill it right through, and secure it that way.

I looked at a Pioneer a few months ago on ebay like that one you posted. Was looking at about $400 from the US, BNIB. Was pretty dirty about it too, coz I'd paid $450 for the Pioneer I have, only a month or so beforehand!

I'm gonna rip it all out of my dash in the next couple of months though. Once I find a USB touchscreen that will nicely cover the entire hole in the Toyota DIN facia, I will be installing the screen behind it and an old laptop in the boot, as a media centre/satnav/OBD diagnostics system, and mount the Pioneer deck in the glovebox.

yeah mate mine sure does have the sat nav unit stolen out of a Presara in it but apart from the Bluetooth and sat nav it has no more features than the standard unit except better eq. and a better appearance of course but in terms of expandability for iPod, aux, usb, sub pre outs etc its no better and whilst its true most problems like the AUX can be fxed and you can get looms that turn speaker cable to RCA's to get around the pre out issue exist i just want to make it easy as possible. I have somebody looking for a sat nav unit so if we can strike a deal ill sell him mine and work out something else, that’s why i was curious of the features of the Auspack unit but other than having USB and aux direct in the unit she’s the same as the factory one. Albeit shed loads cheaper!

There’s a fair few options out there though it has to be said.

Where'd you get that facia?

And its hard to tell from the photos, how closely does the color match the dash?

Personally I would prefer the one that Toyota sell for around $30 (not dissing yours czaja74... just a preference). Those ones have edges on it to help 'blend' it in a little better. They look like this one:

Hmm no spacers needed... I'll check it out tomorrow.

No, no. The Toyota fascia kit requires spacers. The only reason that unit doesn't have spacers is because it is a Toyota OEM deck that is made wider and fills the gaps.

:blink: ooops it was too good to be true.... This one will do for now (until I find something nicer).

Yeah, I'm using one of the Toyota ones at the moment. The mouldings round the top and bottom definately make it blend in better for some reason, and the fact its slightly recessed where the actualy unit goes. I'm just thinking that with using that facia as part of the custom facia for my USB touchscreen, the flat one might have been better should I have to cut it. With the Toyota one, if I had to make the hole any higher, it would cut into the top/bottom mouldings, and would probably start to look rather silly.

Can't wait to see how it goes mate. I was thinking of doing the exact same thing... even had a good length of 50-core cable ready so I could mount the PC in the boot. Then I got the Auspack unit as a present.

I was actually going to use the moulding and then finely hack it up so I can fit a 10.1 inch display in since it would just fit in with the right work. That would have looked great in my opinion.

Would a 10.1" fit, even with hacking the fascia? I'm thinking at 4:3 one would be too high, and I haven't found a widescreen one anywhere for a reasonable price. A agree though, the 10.1 would look great. But I think I'll stick with an 7" or 8", purely on cost and ease to get.

What would really suit me would be to get hold of a dead Presara sat nav unit, or a dead aftermarket unit that I could steal the fascia and buttons off, but dead units seem to be as rare as rockinghorse ****, so thats not likely to happen.

I'm still debating over where to mount the computer. Its a laptop, so it'll either end up mounted under the passenger seat, or I'll mount it in the boot and utilise the laptop screen in there as a boot mounted screen.

A 10.1 inch widescreen would just fit but probably would have some screen cropping of about 1mm top and bottom. That would have been my ideal screen choice. Otherwise, I'd start looking for a 9 inch screen. But yeah, like you said, it's probably not going to be the most cost efficient.

I have been looking everywhere online for one of these facias, all to no avail. If I go into toyota servicing and parts will they be able to order one? Or am I just looking in the wrong places???

You have 3 problems.

1. You spelt "fascia" wrong.

2. You have to look it under Toyota Camry not Aurion as international standard is Camry and both are the same shape and size.

3. You don't have to spam and revive many very old treads to get an answer. Just 1 will do.

Cheapest one is here.

I bought the same one from this seller and i'm happy with it. If you want a photo of it in real life then ask and i'll upload an image later.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
