Hi Folks,

I've got a 2008 Aurion SX6 and I accidentally caused a little damage to the dash while working on the head unit.

Toyota have quoted me $730 for a new panel to replace it, however I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to repair it.

Another alternative would be to buy a non genuine part I guess. If anyone has any suggestions of a good dealer?

Hmmm, don't tell me you used a flat head screw driver to open that part up? You do know it can open up with just your hands if you grab on it and pull it by digging some nails into the top and pulling.

Also, damn man. I can tell your car ain't that clean.. Look at that dash, it's dusty as! :lol:

The cheapest option would be this maybe:

Yeah it's pretty dusty.

I was careful when I pulled the head unit out, but I wasn't careful of the metal frame underneath when I was checking out the plugs on the back.

Carelessness on my part really.

What area are you in or willing to travel too? I have used a guy to do some vinyl repair work on the doors of the car and he did a good job on it. He travels around but lives in Warner. Does a lot of car yards around so he may get close to you in his travels. So long as you are in the brissy area.

Other than that there are a few of them popping up at the wreckers now

I'm in Central Queensland, but it could be worth looking into getting him to take a look when I'm down Brisbane way next.

Might take a look around the local wreckers as well. Haven't been there since back when I had a Falcon.

I think ChrisE2490 has a whole ATX interior he is parting out, I grabbed a bit off him a while ago. might be worth hitting him up a PM to see if he still has that part of the dash, for alot cheaper then new id imagine :)

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      I got my new rav4 2024 hybrid gx yesterday. The fob let's me lock and unlock using the button but doesn't do this automatically for proximity. Once in the car the push start ignition turns on without holding the key up to it and the multimedia system tells me that the smartkey system is activated. I've read the manual over and over but can't find a fix for this specific thing. Has anyone else had this?

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      Hey I'm looking to buy my first car and was looking at this 2010 Aurion Sportvio with 165,000km for around $9000and relatively new tires. Just wondering if this is a good price and if I should be worried about such high km's with expensive maintenance. Only looking to have this car for 5 ish years, so will it last that?
