You need to pay Toyota to program the key for you as well, so even if you buy it off eBay cheap you will need to pay for labour and they will probably rip you off.

To program a new key and remote, my dealer charged me $45 for their time.

As for the window tint, why not get someone else to tint it for you and skip the dealer. Most dealers get a third party to do their tinting anyway. You can save yourself some money as well.

Yes it seems much cheaper and so looks like a go-er.

Do you know if a metallic tint affects the radio reception? I know it's in the rear windscreen...

SPIDERLAMA:

I work for a Toyota dealer in Northern Tasmania

As for the Ipod the toyota connectivity part number ip002 or something like that off the top of my head doesnt work with the 06-08 camry/Aurion unit but an aftermarket crowd could help you there.

The dealer i work for doesnt charge to have remotes programmed but i know the other 2 Toyota dealerships in tas charge about $22 to program but its different at every dealership. i will find out how much the RRP of the ATX remote and key is tomorrow.

the Cargo liner has RRP of around $85 and i'll get a price on the Aurion mats tomorrow.

hope this helps

Yeah it helps heaps mate thanks. But I'm bummed about no iPod connectivity to standard stero... I don't really want to mod stuff much.

Cheers for prices, I'll get up my local dealer for some stuff.

Hi, I've gotten a couple of prices for some accessories from my local dealer, but they seem a bit high. Also I need a couple more prices. Is there someone selling Toyota genuine accessories on this forum? (There was a guy on the Patrol forums selling genuine at a cheaper price)

• iPod connectivity = $?
  
• Tinting = $485
  
• Carpet Aurion Mats + Boot Liner = $285
  
• Key + Beeper + Programmed = $?
  

Is there a cheaper dealer I can buy from? :D

Cheers.

Thanks, I'll go and buy one then. I could only get it to show P1 and freely adjustable.

Hi,

I recently got my Aurion (it's great!) but I don't have driver's manuals!

Specifically there is a button with "Mode" written on it and when I press it a speed reading comes up next to the clock. WTF is it?

How hard would it be to get a copy of the manual from say Toyota dealership? I have had no luck on the net, although I have gotten the service manuals.

Cheers!

REASONS FOR BUYING: Sick of my 3L Patrol guzzling the diesel and costing a fortune for servicing, decided to look for a BF XR6 around $20,000. They were all unloved, and the interiors were falling apart! We stopped at the Toyota dealer on the way home and the girlfriend liked the look of an Aurion. Looked up the specs, and sure enough it was a decent car :D So back down to the dealer to sign the papers in the dark of night! We were most happy about them taking the Patrol off our hands...

Do I need to get very concern if my battery is now barely working? I came to this conclusion from the fact that after I jumped start my car, it can go barely alive for 3 minutes. I need to jumped start the car around 4 times to finish a 1-2 km distance.. :(

Could this be a symptom of error due to my previous fault? Can a simple electrical error cause all of these?

Sounds like your alternator is dead to me. Same thing happened to my Patrol. Ran on battery for 3 days! Usually the battery works for a while without an alternator but then dies. The longer you run it without an alternator charging the battery, the more damage you do to the battery and the less charge it can hold in the future.

If it's not the alternator, it could be something in the electrical system near there.
