So here are my box of goodies(don't worry about the printer, I'm not putting that in the car :lol:)

http://i277.photobucket.com/albums/kk63/zomgunique/Car/DSCN4159.jpg

So tonight I did all the wiring and stuff and when it came to installing the rear 6X9, not only are the screw holes completely different from stock they are too big(well the bottom magnet is) and you can't close the boot because those bars going across the boot hit the speakers.

I thought of so many ways to go around this by getting 20MM of MDF and making the mounting thingo. But then I'm thinking how the hell is the parcel shelf going to sit back in with the speakers sticking out like that?

I'm totally stumped. So I would LOVE to see pics and how you did yours. You must tell us your secret. I just went over in my head sooooo many different ways to put them in I can't decide what to do.

Also, where is the best place to put this deck or can I get those things you put around to cover the gaping spaces?

Please note that the whole setup is only 50% completely. All wiring is done. Only thing left is the cover the CD deck and throw in my 6X9's.

And for anyone wondering. The system pumps crazy good!

And IMO for anyone thinking this is easy. It's not. IMO it's very time consuming taking few hours to do. ESP when you are learning about your car as you go.:

Also can I just say, DJKOR. Your wiring guide in the FAQ for the stock CD player made a world of difference. Huge thanks for that.

The rear parcel shelf has always had an issue with speaker depth fitment due to the boot springs. Whilst you can get away with a small spacer under the factory trim, you mostly need to select your speaker around what's available. The thread "ZR6 Speaker Upgrade" mentioned in the FAQ has quite a bit of information here.

The surround for your headunit can be sourced through car audio shops. Most professional ones will have an idea as to where you can obtain one, otherwise you can search ebay for "Camry stereo fascia" or other like wording, they're around $40 or so not including postage. Local options might work out cheaper.

Modding the Aurion unfortunately requires much careful planning in advance. I hope you are able to make use of those speakers in the end.

my installer cut the plastic speaker covers in the rear parcel shelf and recarpeted the back... i'll post some photos soon... looks great and you'd never know it is not a factory spec...

you can go to toyota and buy a fascia, only $30 and has the contours just like the factory unit... then you'll need some spacers for the gaps on the sides of the new unit. they are $20 or so from any car audio chain

you should choose the speakers very carefully before you doing it. I have measure the size, looking the spec of lots of 6x9 and finally pick the rockford P series 4 way 6 x9. It just fit and sounds great. Brought off ebay from a store in VIC. Cost about $120 includes post.

I dont even run speakers in the back. But spacers are the way to go, id also suggest packing some dacron in under the trim too to stop any kind of rattles... but also sound deaden too!

A work colleague of mine has been helping me sound proof my aurion as he has just finished his Camry, about 2 months ago he got 4 critical mass 6x9 speakers installed in his car with no issues...

After a small amount of research I've found that the rs69 series by critical mass is a slimline series of 6x9 speakers of high power (and to a high degree cost) speakers designed for the US Camry, the virtual equivalent of the aurion.

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      Check your fuel lines to the filter. The factory clamps are designed for quick removal but sometime come lose enough to allow air. I replaced all mine with 'worm drive' clamps.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
