Yeah, the easiest way to get paddle shifts would be to buy Steve's Aurion.

Failing that, use the search function. All the info on how he did it is floating around in a thread titled somewhat similarly to this one.

The steering wheel, airbag and radio controls bolt straight on with no modification. The paddle shifters also plug into our stock clockspring.

From the steering column end of the clockspring connector, you need to use a multimeter to find where the paddle shifters connect up to through the clockspring. Then it's just a matter of running 2 wires in parrallel to the ones at the gearshifter wiring harness located under the center console.

It's fairly straight forward IF you're handy with a multimeter.

Or if you work out the wiring diagrams from the repair manual, you will find the correct wires you need are behind the drivers kick panel (just next to the accelerator pedal). Far less trim requiring removal!

Here is the switch diagram for s-mode:

Now, find connector AE5.

Multimeter still required ...

^ Edit previous post to say this!

The new model also has improved shift response.

This is true, Feels more responsive given it has the same output (just with less friction) Gearbox now works just a little more like how it should in the first place. New Aurion is also 3 tenths quicker to 100 as well. New Camry with its 2.5 2 AR-FE engine with its 6 speed gearbox that is closely related to Aurion’s U660E in performance mode rally transforms the Camry.

But are the paddle shifters optional for the aurion? is there an aftermarket assy to install on the steering wheel?

Cheers

PS: Amazing, I´ve noticed that right hand drive cars have the turn signal lever.... at the right side of the steering rack! I have it on the left side of the rack in a left handed car!!! :blink:

I'll get so confused....

How did he change the colour of the back lights on all those buttons (eg: Parking sensor button). They are originally green and now they are blue. How did he do this?

If you are wondering how this is done, then maybe this is not a task for you to be performing. Common sense should tell you where you need to be looking if you want to change this (or at least spend the 5 minutes required to visually inspect this).

Edit: Make that 2 minutes... and that included the time taken to walk out of my office to the car and back.

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt

      Amplifier 88650-60D60 no longer made

      Hi all, Wondering if anyone has had this issue. I recently purchased a 2007 200 series landcruiser, and the amplifier for the air con unit stopped working. Part number 88650-60D60. (Looks like a circuit board) All controls for the air con now do not work, very frustrating in winter when you dont have any way to unfog your windscreen. Toyota have informed me that they no longer produce this part, and there is nothing superseeded to fit in it's place. My question is has anyone had this problem? If so what did you do to fix it? I have got onto an auto sparky who has had a go at fixing the circuit board but its unserviceable. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

      Engine oil dipstick reading

      Hi guys, Probably a silly question... I'm having trouble reading my engine oil dipstick on my Toyota Hilux 2010 3.0 Turbo Diesel. I have warmed up the engine, turned off for ~10 minutes, parked on a level surface. Pulled out the dipstick, wipe it and insert it back to the bottom and carefully lift it up. I tried so many times and the two sides always look different. I couldn't read it. Maybe I just don't understand how to read it. Could someone help? Thanks a lot!!!
