Something really interesting happened whilst I was driving today....

My Toyota link GSM phone rang and I answered thinking it was Toyota calling to remind me about servicing. Instead it was a call from a lady saying my cake was ready to pickup (wrong number).

This leads me to believe that my car has its own mobile phone number that anyone can call if you know the number.

Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how I can find out my car's mobile number?

Cheers,

Mario

Is it really worked like that?

I think you can set up using your bluetooth and it will connect to your phone.

Well, I'm not using Presara, but I have bluetooth for the phone mounted in my car.

And as far as I concerned, if I don't connect to the bluetooth then you are not using it.

Is there any possibility that it is a really2 wrong number, so she probably press the wrong number =)

Is this the first time this happens? or it happens couple times already?

Have you try to call to your own mobile?

Yes, I had a Toyota service devision teling me a similar story. You must ring the Toyota Link and inform them about that. I don't have this problem in my Peseara (2007)

Thats funny!! Has'nt happened to me, but I did try to order a pizza to my exact position given the boys and girls at the call centre know exactly where I am. I was told while technically possible they were not allowed too...... :)

Yeah - the Toyota link thing in just a mobile phone. I know it is the same in the Holdens and a friend of mine has opened it all up and installed his sim card and a dial pad to actually make phone calls. Not that he makes many cause it's charged to Toyota and they might get suspicious with outgoing calls. He also worked out the number so people can call his car direct and use the hands free.

Yes, this is the first time its happened to me. I have the 2007 Presara.

The wrong number was definately made to the Presara and not my mobile phone. Bluetooth was not enabled on my phone at the time.

Ummmm....If your friend installed his own sim card then why would the call charges go to Toyota?. and how did he install the keypad...what interface did he use?

      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!!!
