Minor servicing my 3 yrs old Aurion car the dealer at south**** quoted me ~$600 is a rip off. I did the same maintenance at the local workshop ~$250. and they performed the job as outlined in the handbook. Now, tell me about it.

bump! where do you guys services your aurion car in south brisbane? I am not taking my car back to the dealer for servicing...

Got the plate ordered from ebay. Please ignore the scratch. I did it by accident. Silly me. Thanks, Steven, for your great help. :-) HOLY COW! Thanks Mate! Much appreciated !!! ^___^ Been looking for it for whole day! No worries, it's amazing how much Toyota Aurion stuff you will find on Ebay when you search for "Toyota Aurion"

Hi, I wonder if anyone got their hand on a spare aurion console upper plate (fascia plate)? I rang up toyota and they quote me $66.85 (incl. gst) for a piece of plastic. Tried ebay, no luck. Basically I just install a small media player that takes USB / SD card and plays movie / songs to my entertainment head unit. And I don't want to cut my existing plate instead i would like to get a spare one and cut it from there and screw the small media player on it. Any idea where I can get those plate? Thank you .. :-)

$400 was same price I had to pay when my Levin ZR's foglight was smashed too. Apparently they're the same/similar fittings. the price just unacceptable.

The thing is , why this ONLY happen to TOYOTA?... I never had a problem with other brand of cars, such as Suzuki. I remember I had the same issue with ECHO, but the issue went away after years driving it. If it's the bacteria, it doesn't make sense, as the bacteria should be accumulated itself. I remember DJKor mentioned something about the aircon, but I can't remember where I read it from...

Sent my car for the first 12 months service. I broke one of the RHS fog light when travelling on high way the other day, and the light glass is gone, but the bulb still works . I asked Toyota the cost to replace one, and the quotation I got back is , A$400 for a light. Does that sound too much for you guys? 2) Whenever I accelerate my Aurion SX6 the first time after ignite the car, there always be a strong smell comes after that (it's not the break/belt burns smell) . I pretty sure it's not the aircon, because I can smell that 'things' with my aircon is OFF and the air 'circulated' is selected. I mentioned this issue to the service guy when 1000km initial service, I have been told it's my new carpet smell (fxxk off... i knew what a new carpet smell like, and that's just not that smell). And this time, I have been told different story, where the aircon filter underneath is full of bacteria, and it's gonna cost me A$98 to do something with it, and (can't be assure that will work)... Has anyone of having this experience?

lol~ indeed~ :_)

beaware though, all your steering wheel button may becomes toy if you change the head unit.. :-) try northfield car, if you have spare money.. they offer very good job...

i totally agree with u... i am sure more 'story' will out soon...

have anyone installed aftermarket remote starter for aurion ?... any cons or pro? price? .

yup~ we just being sooo clever not to read through the manual... lol~ however... the ONLY thing i dun quite like with the unit is.... it doesn't support unicode -utf-8 in the mp3/wma tag(id tag v 1.1 only , not 2.0 yet!! ), which means it can't display east-asian language in the title. emailed eclipse support... they doesn't seem here to help either... wtf... how am i suppose to choose a song among 8000 east-asian songs in my ipod with this unit... they all display a BLANK title on the screen! sighs~... eclipse is a nice product, however the technology is FAIRLY OLD!!... it definately can't satisfy a user like me who like to customise stuff... :-)

that's okay... i have found the solution ... :-)

i have been told that the splash screen is customisable on avn 6000. anyone has any idea how to get this done?
