Full-Throttle

I wasn't 100% happy with the new plate surrounds, so I decided to wrap the rear one in some gold carbon fiber wrap that I had left over. Seems to take the blandness off and makes it a little more interesting.

Got a couple of upgrades done on the Aurion today :) First thing was the installation of some Euro plate style license plate surrounds and the second was applying some pre-cut tint film to the lower sections of the tail lights. Here's some photos of the process and some before vs after shots:

I personally wouldn't change it. Most transmission problems start only after the oil has been changed and this particular gearbox can last hundreds of thousands of km's without having the trans oil & filter changed. Also, in the case of the U660E that the Aurion and other 2GR-FE's have there's a specific procedure that must be followed to avoid overfilling the transmission, so it's not just a case of 'drain & fill' unfortunately. If you MUST get it changed then I wouldn't go anywhere other than a proper Toyota dealership. There's a good post here regarding the correct procedure: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/topic/36317-transmission-servicing/?p=483368

This is quite a common problem on the 06-11 Aurions & Camrys, so it doesn't surprise me it has happened to the GSV50 too. What's the exact error message the screen is displaying? It sounds like the CD has jammed inside the tray, likely due to some CD-R's being slightly thicker than regular CD's. The easiest thing to try is to remove your 'RADIO' fuse in your engine bay, or disconnect your battery for half an hour as this will reset your stereo and hopefully eject the CD. Failing that, you'll have to remove the unit and take the metal frame off to try and get at the CD. If it all turns to custard then at least you've still got your USB port ;)

Happy holidays! :D
