  2. Have been through the tyre topic but unable to find an answer. Wanting to know if the Aurion bog standard Touring will fit 18x8.5 +30 and 18x9.5 +35 wheels? If you have done it will it fit without rolling guards and scraping?

    What size tyres have you got on them?

    Thanks

  3. Had my 2010 Aurion 90k service carried out by the NRMA ( Padstow) in Jan 2015 total cost was $ 703. 00.

    Breakdown: Labour $234, 1278 (?) $59.99, Spark Plug Resistor $246.05, environmental levies $6, Filter element - Air $50.96,

    Filter Cabin Air $ 43,Filter Cartridge- Oil $17,Sump Plug Washer $2, Washer Additive $ 2, Workshop Consumables $9. Wiper

    inserts $33, GST $ 63.91, Total $703 !!! Less a $50 discount for members.

    What happened to replacing the plugs which is what I believed was part of the service at 90k

  4. Greetings folks. Have had the VSC light come on on the car and took it to Toyota and they say it is either the Brake light switch or the deceleration sensor that is causing the issue.

    My question is does someone in the North Brisbane area have a Brake light Switch that I can borrow to test out the first part of their theory?

  5. I've got a 7 inch touch screen Head unit and i was thinking of just selling it.

    But before i do is it worth my time installing into the car?

    I was also thinking about getting one of the 2013 toyota corolla head units that is touch screen but didnt want to buy another head unit.

    If i install my own one will it affect the current speakers etc?

    Well i'm assuming the 7" is double din slot so you can install that if your get a double din fascia but it depends if the head unit does what you need?

    Is there a reason why you want to go touch screen? or you don't want to stick to standard head units?

    I checked out your car and can see you have the stock head unit. You can do what i'm doing and using a Android Tablet and still keep the stock head unit you just won't be able to use the 6 stacker cd (Although the whole fascia could be made to flip up to access the 6 stacker) That is another option but your reverse camera wouldn't be used but you can use an IP cam with android for reverse but you would need to think of some way to launch the camera app when you go into reverse (Should be simple I have a few ideas)

    But you really need to workout what it is you need or want in a head unit and which one is right for you but all of them besides your own 7" touch screen will cost a few hundred unless you have a spare tablet too.

    How have you got the Tablet mounted so you can use it?

  6. I used to have the eBay units in my Camry ,it was out of the car within one week loll replaced with this Toyota unit :D ,I had to buy 2 different harness from Toyota

    I too have a $350 ish unit and it works well, for what i need it for,

    That toyota unit sorry to say but it does not look good, does not look like it belongs there to be honnest. Very aftermarket looking.

    I will agree on that it doesn't not look the best it would be nice if it was silver ,don't get me wrong but you cant compare this unit to the eBay ones your way off

    first the sound quality is 10x better then the eBay unit and never lags like then old unit I had, there are too many things to list that are much better

    am not saying the eBay units cant do the job there just not the best

    at the end you get what you pay for.

    Have no idea who you got yours from but mine sounds better than the standard one in the Aurions sounds just as good as a mates who has the genuine Toyota unit and does way more things. So I guess you are right as you get what you pay for but if you check it out first there are some really good ones out there that don't ask for ridiculous money and don't charge a fortune just to update the maps in them as well.

  7. Same here. Put the chinese ebay unit from Easydeals in my car 3 years ago and it is still going strong. Can update the maps whenever I was watch DVDs play the music from the phone and so on. Original unit may be standard part number but you aint getting your moneys worth from them. And it only cost 300 bucks (got cheap auction) Everything plugged in factory wiring.

    If possible see it working first as I will admit sometimes the software being used can be a bit sluggish depending on who you get it from. There are quite a few discussions on these in other threads as well for people that do have them

    This is later version. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/6-2-Toyota-GPS-Corolla-Yaris-Prado-Hilux-Kluger-Rav4-Camry-/251222559466?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7e080aea

  8. For those who don't know I may have found the issue. From what I can gather water getting in is standard. Solution I found

    The problem actually is the drains in the rocker panels and it applies
    to all 80s. The drain slots are very small and clog easily.



    There are three on the bottom of each sill under the doors, one near the
    front, one at the middle and near the back.
    They are right on the seam and can be difficult to find. When you have a
    close look, you'll spot them. A fine stick or something will clear them
    (actually, the thin end of a zip tie is good).

    It is an idea to pull the rubber bungs and flush the rockers out every now
    and then. They fill with dust and once water gets in, it makes mud.

  9. Hi folks. BIL has got himself an 80 series but it is getting water in the Left hand sill. Pulling the drain plug out near the rear wheels when wagon is on slight slope and there is a good 2-3 litres of water that comes pouring out. So far have been unable to find where the water is getting in and was hoping someone has had the issue before and found the location. That is a lot of water over a day or so parked outside

    Have looking in usual suspect areas like windscreen and firewall but cant see anything there so far.
