Hi everyone, I have a 2007 Aurion Presara and in the last couple of days I started to notice an unknown beeping noise.

It beeps 5 times whenever I start the car and after I turn off the engine, the beeping seems to come from the rear area.

It's not connected to any warning lights or messages on the dashboard and does not affect overall performance. I just have no idea what it means and it's only started in the last couple of days.

I'm pretty certain it's not related to open doors, parking sensors, seat beats and engine issues (due to no dashboard messages).

Does anyone have any ideas? It's starting to drive me a bit nuts...

It is related to Toyota Link. It usually is only one beep on start up, to initiate the system during start up.

If you have five or however many it is, it usually means that the system monitoring/tracking has been turned off.

Since your car is an '07 build your subscription may have lapsed (3 years included from date of purchase), hence the monitoring would have been turned off, unless you have renewed your subscription.

If you have no idea if your car is being monitored, just press and hold the Toyota Link button. If it rings, ask the person on the other end if your car is being monitored, and when your current subscription ends. If it doesn't ring that means you've been disconnected, and your subscription has ended.

If you have no idea what Toyota Link is, and have never used it, don't bother renewing it, it is a $240 annual fee.

Thanks u54mot for your reply. Yeah, I purchased it used a few months ago and didn't bother to renew the Toyota Link service. It was already deactivated by the time I bought it so it's a bit strange that the beeping only started a couple of days ago.

I might give Toyota a call and see if they can switch it off.

Hi everyone, as u54mot said, it was the Toyota Link after all.

When I purchased it 2 months ago, the Toyota Link functions was already switched off and deactiviated. Pressing the Toyota Link buttons back then did nothing.

For no apparent reason, the beeping started 2 days ago and when I pressed the Link button this morning out of curiosity, a Toyota rep. was on the line! She stated even though I was no longer subscribed, she had no idea why it was working.

So now I guess I have to take it to Toyota to fully switch it off. Thanks again to u45mot for identifying the original problem.

Hi everyone, by chance does anyone know how to deactivate the Toyota Link without taking it to Toyota?

I spoke to the Toyota Link advisor from within the car and she stated although I was no longer subscribed, the beeping would continue til I took it to Toyota to fully deactivate the service or until 'the sim expired'....

Toyota said they would charge $60 - $120, for such service I'm pretty sure wouldn't take much time and I can't justify being charged so much for something that doesn't take much time. Please see my previous post regarding changing the auto rain sensor pad.

Sim card? Does anyone know where it is? Maybe I can remove it and stop the beeping myself. What's the worst that could happen, I can't use my Aurion as a phone....Lucky I have a actual mobile phone as a back up.

Regards.

This is what I would do... note that this is not the proper procedure, this is just what I personally would do.

1) Remove the fuse in the engine bay labelled 'MAYDAY/TEL'.

2) Disconnect the backup battery from the ToyotaLink unit located in your boot.

This would certainly have to deactivate it.

      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.
