Bump. Anyone else have leaks?
-
Just had my 2008 Aurion in after the VVT Oil hose split and they replaced that as a recall, along with the power window issue and said they checked for sticky dash. Which mine doesn't have. My tip, ring your dealer first as I almost spent $800 on replacing that oil pipe and they replaced it for free. Don't ask, don't get!

Nice one. I upgraded my 08 Touring to this head unit about 18 months ago. Got it from a wrecked 2010 Camry Hybrid for a good price. Plugs straight in for anyone wanting to do the upgrade. Just make sure you get the surrounding shroud as well. Mine did develop a small 'line' in the screen though, which doesn't effect operation and it's mainly me that notices it. Perhaps a reset will clear that? Is there firmware upgrade available? Does anyone know if there is an after-market reversing camera that plugs into these units? Cheers

Hi, My Aurion 08 has developed a leak on the passenger side. It may have been going for a while as I did notice some mouldy smell a few months ago, but perhaps it's worse with of all the rain NSW sent over to WA recently. Anyway, I have tested with a squirt water bottle many times and it's definitely NOT the windscreen, but it leaks when I get the water squirted just below the bottom left of the windscreen. It's hard to see where it's coming in from the inside as I can only get so far up the left hand side of the firewall under the glove box. Anyone else? Any ideas? Any help appreciated.

Stereo upgrade - stock (no aux) to stock (ft0015a)
hixsta replied to hixsta's topic in Aurion / TRD Aurion Club
Yes, I believe they are just over $100 on ebay, though I am not too keen on the effort required to thread the wiring through. I have reverse beepers and no towball, so don't see much need other than it would be cool to have. My main aim was to have usb, bluetooth and aux. The USB is awesome though it doesn't always let me scroll through the folder view, what's with that? Also, USB SEEK is a bit slow, moving only a few seconds back or forward at a time. Have you installed the camera? -

Slotted in and plugged in fine for anyone thinking of doing the upgrade. Mic is in the front of the unit and Bluetooth works great. Anyone added an after-market reversing camera to this unit? Unit taken from a 2010 Camry Hybrid fitted to a 2008 Aurion Touring. -
whining noise Toyota Aurion Sportivo whining noise

Check water pump mate. You can do this by going into full hard lock and driving slowly around. Does this make the noise louder?- 9 replies

Stereo upgrade - stock (no aux) to stock (ft0015a)
hixsta posted a topic in Aurion / TRD Aurion Club
Hi, I'm about to purchase a Ft0015a Bluetooth unit to install into my 08 Aurion. Anyone done this before? Anything I should be wary of? All help and tips appreciated. Thanks -
My personal opinion is that it just follows the camber of the road. Drive on the other side of the road and it will pull right. This car's "pulling issue" feels weird at first but give it 6 months and you'll won't really notice it. Sometimes worn tyres make it feel worse. As I said my personal opinion.

That black one is awesome, but as Kanmuri79 says, it's not on our streets. Please enlighten us....

Programming remote instructions - All Models
hixsta replied to hixsta's topic in General Toyota & Other Car Discussions
It doesn't state "back OFF again" like it does in another set of instructions I have. You could turn it once to ON and leave it there, then the programming doesn't work. Just making sure it is clarified for everyone and anyone who reads it, not just for people such as yourself who are obviously good with assumptions.- 4 replies

Might start a war with the new GSV50 owners.... but I just seen a GSV50 ZR6 for the first time in the flesh the other day. In my subjective (slightly biased) opinion it doesn't look anywhere near as cool as the GSV40 styling. It's mainly the rear end that looks terrible. In fact I think they have tried too hard... Have they made the boot smaller? Thoughts?

Here's an instruction list I found that covers all modern central locking remotes. (up to 2011) Doesn't include keyless entry remotes.

06 Aurion missing Bluetooth feature?
hixsta replied to eXtremist's topic in Aurion / TRD Aurion Club
MOTOrola ROKR T505 are an awesome bluetooth unit that work both within the unit and put calls and music through your radio. Much better than a Belkin one I had before. Works on all brands of phones. They may be superseded now but you can get 2nd hand ones for about $30+. -
Welcome, see on the streets!

My 'New' Aurion - 2008 Touring - Super low genuine kms
hixsta replied to hixsta's topic in Aurion / TRD Aurion Club
Thanks for that info Ryan, much appreciated. Doesn;t look like it's had any recalls. Toyota usually put that silver sticker inside the the driver's door, did that on my '03 Camry anyway. Gonna get some tint this week. Can't decide between 35/20, all 35 or 35 sides and 20 rear window...Law in WA is OK to have 35 in front of pillar and 20 behind now. Wonder if it looks a bit weird having two tone. Anyway, here's some pics.
