Hi guys,

Anyone know anything about these new T.E.C.H units that are coming with higher model Yaris?

http://www.toyota.com.au/yaris?WT.ac=Toyota_GlobalNav_Cars_Yaris#tech-audio-system for reference re what it is.

Am curious if the units have a rear USB port, im doubtful but hopeful.

Cannot seem to find any info re these things at all anywhere..

Cheers

This it the new level 3 (high grade) unit to be used on virtually all models (not on Camry, Aurion and Prado). New units (including without GPS) are already available on FJ Cruiser, Yaris, Rukus, Kluger, Hilux, RAV4 and now Corolla Hatch.

They have the capability of rear USB, but it is up to the vehicle specification if used.

A Yaris really doesn't have much of a centre console (between front seats), with a focus on the dash for controls. Check with your dealer to be sure ...

Have had the unit installed in new Levin ZR.

Unfortunately seems to be either an incompatibility in the wiring or a mistake by the installer as it does not detect the handbrake being on/off and assumes off, thus half the features are disabled as it thinks I am in motion all the time.

Besides this it is significantly awesome.

Will put it out at some stage to see if it has a rear USB port as would like to run cabling to my phone cradle if it does for charging/ipod control.

Is the first Toyota unit I have had which supports the iPhone with all features except Messages.

It should be linked to vehicle speed, as soon as you hit 0km/h the menus open up.

this one has tv tuner as well. any good installer will be able to wire in so tv etc will work while driving (if you ask him nicely)

both have two USB ports

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks
