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.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.
