The Aurion does a poor job at blocking fume smells from the outside when the A/C system is on fresh so 80% I have to leave it on recirculation and this is really bad because windows fog up when the heater is hot and it's really cold outside.

I heard that there are some special air filters you can buy I think it's like carbon something? And these block out the bad smells somehow or trap them.

Is there something like this I can buy to replace the current A/C filter?

And, one thing I dislike what Toyota have done is put front SIDE parking sensors but not front front. If I were to buy two sensors and install them just like the rear which have two back and two side, would this work?

It's a carbon activated cabin filter but i haven't seen one for the current Aurion/Camry models. Only the previous Camry models. You can try contacting Ryco directly and see if they have one.

From memory the carbon filters do not block out smells completely. Only a small amount.

Don't know why you need parking sensors. Only bad drivers need them :P :P :P

My Aurion is pretty well 'sealed' against most strong odours when the air mix is set to 'fresh'. The occasional truck etc can put some bad smells into the cabin, but this isn't too often.

Maybe it's just your crappy Melbourne air :lol:

Then again, I drive with my windows down 95% of the time, so I can only really comment for the other 5%.

On topic though, as mentioned it is an activated carbon filter. They won't block everything, but can make a difference depending on the severity of what it is blocking.

As for the front parking sensors, there is nothing stopping you from wiring up another couple for the very front of the car, but you won't be able to integrate it into the existing system. It will either have to replace the front side ones, or be an additional system. But really... you can't judge distance at the front?

Thanks for the information. Yes it is Melbourne's crappy air and I ain't joking. Today I was walking to my gym and I took notice of the smell of the air and it was disgusting. Just filled with fume smells. As I was getting closer to gym there was no traffic at all while I was crossing the road and the air was still bad! lol.

So is there an activated carbon filter you know of for the Aurion? Google doesn't say much.

Also the parking sensors. It's annoying to see that it can't be put into the existing system but at least there is spare empty slots to put the second button next to the existing parking sensor button. Well Mercede's and BMW's and the like all have front front parking sensors. Why can't mine :P

Edit: I think the number plate holder will annoy the sensors. <_<

LOL. I guess DJKOR is the worst driver in the world then. Having gone through the trouble of installing a camera and also has parking sensors :P

But seriously, for a car that is big like the Aurion, these parking sensors have saved my butt heaps of times literally.

It's there so I don't reverse into the Ferrari at La Dolce Vita :P I can still see what's in front of my car though. Looking out the back of the car and gauging distance is not as simple as looking out your windscreen.

I didn't install the parking sensors as well :P.

Did some more searching and i couldn't find a single carbon filter for the aurion. Ryco only has the standard filter.

There are a few from this ebay seller which i bought the normal ones from. Email the seller and see whether these 2 fit the aurion.

Otherwise, if you can source some FRAM filters from the States, this would be the one you would be looking for:

Edit: BTW, that second filter you linked to for the previous model Camry will not fit the Aurion.

I know it's for the previous camry but it may fit depending on the dimensions

I wouldn't have said that without reason. It is 2.3cm wider and 0.7cm longer than the Aurion filter. In other words, it won't fit in the Aurion filter housing.

      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?

      Advice needed

      On the surface it sounds like total nonsense, but there is a kernel of possibility in there. Firstly, firing _order_ is a function of the distributor cap and the spark plug wires, but to run right it relies on matching the order in which the camshafts open/close the valves and the crankshaft moves the pistons up/down. If none of those things have been changed as part of the turbo install, then firing _order_ isn't the problem (standard for a 4-cylinder is 1-3-4-2). Confirming your leads are going to the right spark plugs is a quick and free check though, and an easy thing to stuff up when putting everything back together if you were forgetful/distracted. Ignition _timing_, on the other hand, is what you would be looking at if the diagnosis was that the engine was firing on the downstroke. Normally, ignition timing is set to fire the spark plugs just BEFORE top-dead piston centre (ie, on the compression upstroke, this is called timing ADVANCE), so that the combustion occurs at the very top of the cycle to impart the most downwards force to the piston. If the ignition timing is completely out, then the spark plugs might be firing AFTER top-dead centre (timing RETARD), which will make the engine run like a bucket of bolts and also incredibly rich. Get a strobe and see what the timing is doing. However, the fact that you're contemplating installing a Haltech makes me think you've done this turbo upgrade without touching the factory computer, which in reality is most likely to be the culprit. Whilst it can work in some scenarios, running more than a small amount of boost through an NA engine/computer without any other upgrades is a recipe for disaster, as the ECU doesn't know how to handle the extra air (or can't even measure it properly to begin with) and will just flail around trying to adjust. Also, there is no "exhaust downstroke". In a suck-squeeze-bang-blow 4stroke, the exhaust part of the cycle is an upstroke of the piston (to force the burnt gases out of the combustion chamber). Intake (suck) = downstroke. Compression (squeeze) = upstroke. Power/combustion (bang) = downstroke. Exhaust (blow) = upstroke.

      I've recently done a head gasket on my 3rz hilux after I blew it Head was checked and is all good, reassembled. Now it will start and ilde for 2-3 seconds and stall. Won't accelerate. I've double triple checked timing, all earth's ect are where they should be. Changed plugs, checked coils, valve clearances, will be changing MAF today What else should I look at?? It was turbo but converted back to N/A as it's now my brothers car

      Advice needed

      Hi All, im dave from carrum downs. A mate who is a mechanic and I, who isnt a mechanic and with basic car knowledge. We installed a turbo into my 2.7ltr 2003 Toyota hilux 3RZN154R engine, ever since we got it going its been miss firing, back firing, running lean to sparkplug loaded with carbon. Everything but running right. Can anyone please help. My mate has told me the engine has changed the firing order to the downstroke would it change the engines firing order to its exhaust downstroke. I don't understand if or how this could be possible. We have tried everything almost. From fuel pressure regulators to about to install a distributor. To buying and about to install haltech 750. Im in need of some good advice to understand where we have gone wrong. It would be greatly appreciated. ✌️ Daveo

      I have the Cruiser Hybrid 2024 and can confirm that AA wireless is not working, still needs the cable. I'm a bit disappointed because my phone won't fit anymore in the wireless charger tray.
