Yeh, it does look a little weird lol I kept the old stereo just in case it ever goes wrong or If I go to sell the car, I can just throw the stock one back in again. But it sure is nice having the extra features the stero should have had in the first place :)

Took my '08 Aurion At/X to Toyota and they ripped out my stock stereo and replaced it with this. I now have Bluetooth hands-free, USB and AUX. It doesn't match like the old one did, but for the added functionality, I can live with it. Not sure what the stereo of the new Aurion looks like, so it may have come from one of those (after they upgraded to SatNav possibly) How do you guys like it ?

Thanks Steven, good info there Its going perfectly at the moment and hasn't done it since. I will mention it next time I put it in for a service, they might end up just replacing the battry

Yeh, I thought the same thing...the fact that it started after a few attempts is the reason I thought it weird. If it didnt start at all, I would just charge the battery and this post wouldn't be here :) The only other notable thing I can recall was that the normal dashboard LEDs all lit up as normal when turning it to IGN but nothing happened. I have given the battery a couple of hours charge since the initial post to play it safe. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I accidentally left one of the map lights on and closed the door a week ago (as far as I can tell, these lights do not turn off when the doors close) Possibly an intermittent wiring issue that may need to be looked at...?

The other morning I went to start up the Aurion AT/X as normal...and for some reason it wouldnt start. The radio was dead and the rear demister LED was blinking. I tried it a couple of more times and eventually it started up. The next 3-4 starts, it started up no problems Is this something I should keep an eye on, or was it a once off? It sounds like the battery...the only thing different is that I am not driving it every day as I normally would (Maybe once per week). Any ideas ? Thanks
