Radiator removal
Hi Pat - don't know if you'll see this after all this time. Nobody mentioned the engine, petrol/diesel. I'm hoping it's a petrol 2.4 like mine! Thanks. -

Current Drain
Hi, New member here so be gentle . I have a 2017 VX and since I've owned it has a problem with start battery draining within 2 days . I'm the second owner and it was always serviced by Toyota . I've replaced both start and secondary battery with brand new and problem still exists . Even taken to an auto electrician and he has spent hours trying to resolve this problem . He thinks it could possibly be in the Canbus system but he doesn't have the tools to test same . Anybody experienced this ? If so what is it and how to fix ? Cheers, Rick -

Completely lost on Head Unit Upgrade for Kluger Grande 2009
I also have a Grande from 2011 and I think the infotainment units are the same. I have thought about upgrading the unit from time to time as the maps are outdated but ultimately decided not to as there are lots to consider with the Grande head unit. If I had to choose one of your options, I would choose the Brummstadt model as it is at least designed for the Kluger but you need to factor in: - You may need to change your reverse camera as a lot of these units aren't compatible with your existing camera. - If you choose an non compatible model, you will lose all steering wheel button functions. (Personally I would find that annoying having 4/5 buttons on the steering wheel that do nothing after the install) - If you purchase online and have the device shipped over and have issues with the unit, imagine the hassle of removing the unit and shipping it back. - Be careful with removing the trim pieces in the car. Your car is 16 years old and the plastics would be brittle and may crack if too much pressure is applied. Personally although the head unit is old in my car, it still works and meets my needs 90% of the time. I use my phone if I ever need current maps and navigation. If I were you and not 100% confident in installing a head unit including running new wires through the car to replace the reverse camera, I would try to find a reputable place that did the whole install for you. Interesting video: (BTW, no I don't work for MPX 🙂 but if they had a shop in Perth I would probably ask them to do this exact install in my car)- 1

Completely lost on Head Unit Upgrade for Kluger Grande 2009
Hi All, dunno much about car upgrades so kinda feeling overwhemled by the choices of head units out there. Need to replace the head unit for my Kluger Grande with the latest Andriod auto head unit. Any suggestions? I want a large display and a fast processor is also very important to me. I found out these two models below so far but not sure if they are too expensive? Also what would be your preferred store in Aus to buy head units. https://www.joyingauto.com/newest-arrival-joying-10-1-double-din-car-head-unit-supports-ar-cameras.html https://www.brummstadt.com.au/products/toyota-kluger-2007-2013-premium-head-unit-upgrade-kit-radio-infotainment-system-with-wired-wireless-apple-carplay-and-android-auto-compatibility -

Camry Navigation System
Anyone got any update on this question? I asked my dealer about a navigation map update for my 2019 Camry a couple of months ago and they told me $240 for one update! Jeez, what is it - gold plated or something?😳 Us owners ought to be able to update our maps ourselves, it's not rocket science - anyone with basic computer skills would be able to do it. Sigh...🤨- hybrid

Alternator upgrade
G'day everyone, Well my old 80Amp alternator finally gave up on me after nearly 17 years of service. I was thinking I would upgrade to a 130amp. The question I have is regarding the wiring. I would safely assume that I need to upgrade from the original wiring to handle the potential increase in amperage, what I want to know is do I have to also upgrade the fusible link? or do I just need to install a fuse in the wiring? If so where would be the best location for this? If anyone has done this upgrade I would also appreciate any photo's to help. Cheers. -

Aurion 2005 transmission issue
Yes, get the transmission serviced and monitor results. Gear changes should be noticeably smoother unless the transmission has issues with the valve body or a change solenoid. If the ATF pan drain and refill does not resolve the shuddering, then get a transmission specialist torque to diagnose and repair.
