GK200

You will note that toyota have deleted the Bluetooth wording from the current Brochure. We kept our info pack from Toyota which said the Kluger has a "bluetooth compatible" radio. This was our position when dealing with warranty. One of the main reasons for buying the Kluger. Iphones pair ok, that's more than Toyota would say. Good luck

Iphones pair with Toyota bluetooth quite well. toyota changed our head unit with out any change to Bluetooth pairing with Nokia phones. Head unit display would read " not available" But, I did download the latest software for my wifes Nokia, it now pairs quite well. My 6120 will not even with the a software upgrade. Iphones seem to be good all round mobiles anyway. I ended up buying a Tom Tom GPS with Bluetooth, it works. good luck Geoff

we had a lot of trouble with the Nokia phones. Would pair sometimes, mostly not, just gave up. toyota didn't want to help except "maybe try some other mobiles"

Hi, The Kluger Bluetooth is very substandard, we have an 09 model with similar problems, (nothing has changed in years) Toyota are unable to fix it. They blame the supplier. Look at past threads, all with the same problem with the bluetooth. Iphones are sometimes better. It's the software, they (Fujistsu)cannot keep up with the new phone technology. good luck.

Hi John M, I tow a 1.8t van but use S4 only.

Hi, I have used Valvoline 0-40 in the Kluger for about 18months. during this time we towed a 1650kg van to Darwin & back to Mildura, overall about 10,000k's. I'm sure the fuel economy improved while using the oil. We averaged about 16.5 L/100 towing and under 10 not towing with an AWD which consumes a bit more than the FWD. A bit expensive tho. I'm now looking at the Penrite oil which is Australian made, full synthetic, a bit cheaper as well, but only 5w-40 cheers Geoff

hi, Safe maybe, but maybe not compliant with compliance plate on vehicle. Please check at your local tyre fitter. problem is if there is an accident the insurance may not cover.

hi, both FWD & AWD have the whine, but, not all Klugers????????? Geoff

Hi, Apparently effecting both FWD & AWD according to a Toyota service manager. So he thinks the noise (whine) is coming from the front transmission/diff. cheers

Hi, My Kluger went in for the 50K service and check for the whine noise at 60 kph and above. The service manager identified the noise & said he had another 2 klugers like it. Mildura is managed by S.A. ( CMI) are doing nothing about it. Very poor warranty back up by Toyota. The noise only started at 40k, Toyota SA are saying it's just some harmonics in the front differential, nothing to worry about. It looks like I've bought my last Toyota if nothing is done. $56000.00 kluger that has a differential whine and nothing is done.................we'll see.

buy mine if you like $35K with only 50,000 on the clock. cheers.

mine is going in for the 50k service today all good except I'm having the transfer case whine checked out. KXS-09 AWD

HI, go to page 3. 2 threads on this topic from last year. cheers

Hi, Yes once you start using manual buttons, the auto will turn off. Auto is just that, Auto, set the temperature and the climate control takes over, the fan speed etc will slow as the cabin temp reaches the set point. notice when you first start the Kluger? it will be on recycle air so it can cool the cabin down quickly, it's a factory setting. using the buttons is manual. Cheers

If that doesn't work, try pushing MFD on steering wheel until u get the blank screen then hold down MFD button, time will appear then change time using buttons.
