Just wondered if anyone has bought one of these off eBay and how is it performing ?  I want to upgrade the factory stereo in my 2007 Aurion so I at least have Bluetooth and Gps. Any suggestions ?  Looking for something of good quality.  Cheers

Yeah nah, they're junk. Shell out $100-150 more and buy a decent unit from the likes of Alpine, Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer etc on sale. Got my Sony AX5000 for 450 during an Autobarn sale last Christmas, solid build, great sound on the stock speakers and AA integration. The problems with these cheap Chinese units are mainly the build quality and the lack of local technical support, which you'll need eventually. Your car, your money, but I'd avoid them.

I think all this stuff from China is much of a muchness. I wouldn't bother even if they are tempting at the price they offer. They are cheap for a reason.

I totally agree with Adrian on this and spend a few hundred bucks more and get a decent quality brand. You will thank yourself.

Couldn't agree more with Tony and Adrian, for the $$ you save you will not get the reliability or quality you would get spending a few hundred dollars more buying something from a Quality Car Audio Store, I am sure if you look online or around your area there will be a good deal out there.

In the end it is entirely up to you and what you can afford 

Good Luck

I've got a Sony XAV-AX3000 and it works great
Improved the sound of the speakers dramatically and works great with Android Auto

Needed a touch of modding with putting in a surround and a touch of wiring beyond a standard wiring adaptor
Also got an adaptor for the steering wheel controls which works well.

Nice Mitchell. Are you able to load up some pics ? Be nice to see how it looks in the car. Was it expensive ?

      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

      Hello everyone, I'm sure there would have to be someone with the same topic but I'm looking for a good head unit for my wife's 2014 RAV4 with Apple CarPlay that wirelessly connects to the phone and has set up so she can connect steering wheel controls and still use her reverse camera, any suggestions please? Thank you so much everybody!
