Every time I take out of my drive way and initially accelerate I always hear a mechanical click somewhere in the cars. It's like something is released. I really don't think it is any fault cos it always happens at the same time to the second. Anyone got any idea what this noise is?

Wow :o I guess I should have ebay'd it first.. That's still a FM transmitter, your sound would be much better if it's any consolation :P

Sorry my mistake. Is says MP3 WMA. No Aux input... Below is an image of the exact stereo. I actually tried the DIY way, using the 1k resistor + a few wires here and there behind the head unit. Almost broke some pins so I gave that a miss. So, I went the easy way out and purchased this adapter, http://www.cushieaudio.com.au/vehicles/toyota/toyota-toy.html Plug in and play. Really easy, but cost me a lot more. That looks like a good option. Where does that sit and how does it connect to speakers in the car? Otherwise, I'll just have to find someone from these forums who lives in Melbourne that would be willing to help to do it manually!!! :D

Okay guys, I've been looking around the forums for an answer to my question and I've found threads which have addressed it, but I'm gonna ask it here anyway... I want to play my iPod through my car. It says MP3 and WMA on the stereo, but no input for my iPod to be plugged into. I do not want to purchase a new head unit. If an iPod input is not available I'll probably just get one of those frequency thingos. Help.

I myself am getting tinting. Octane or Midnight Express? Which one? Thoughts?

Will do mate

My first car. Picked it up this morning :) loving it. 2007 AT-X.

Alrighty guys! Picked it up this afternoon from the dealership. Had an independent RACV test done before I picked it up and it is in excellent condition, spoke to the guy who did it and he says it's one of the best he's ever seen (condition wise). Hasn't yet been registered but was able to drive it home on a 7 day permit. Going to register it next Wed at Vic Roads. Amazingly smooth. Love it. A lot of power compared to what I've previously been driving (4 cyl). I find myself speeding quite easily actually. Tried out the speed warning when over a certain KM/H, will be very handy and probably save me a few $$$. Getting tinting at Tint a car within the next couple of weeks. Thinking about a spoiler. One question. What's the best way to get an iPod playing through the radio? Do I go to Super Cheap and buy one of those things that gets it playing through a certain frequency, cos I can't see any input for an iPod? Cheers guys

Thanks for the info guys. I'm heading out now to my Valedictory dinner (graduated yesterday woohoo), but I'll be in touch on filling you all in soon!

Haha yeah white looks sick. Where is the cheapest place to get the modifications done whilst not compromising quality? I'm in a similar situation, just turned 20, got my silver aurion ATX ('07), good condition, 90000 k's. Spoiler: If you can paint/fit it yourself, best bet is probably ebay. For $200 delivered you can get your hands on it. Rims: Shop around, but IMO wait until your tyres need replacing before you get new rims (unless you're just gonna get 16" alloys)...because tyres are expensive and rim+tyre packages are generally cheaper Fog lights: get them! Another $200ish on ebay Head unit: really up to you, wont affect exterior look but comes in handy Also I'd say to get a bonnet protector if you are doing hwy driving (stone chips are not cool!). As bad as a bit of plastic on the bonnet sounds...it isn't actually that bad. Ummm for everything else look around on these forums, do a few searches, its amazing what you can find. And of course, good luck with the car, drive safely! Thanks mate. How much am I looking at for the installation of fog lights and spoiler if I don't do it myself In relation to the head unit, I really don't have much experience with the mechanics behind cars etc, is every head unit compatible to fit with the Aurion, or are there certain requirements? And the wiring... should that be done through an auto electrician?

Hey guys! Okay I must admit, as yet I do not own a Toyota. But today I put down a deposit for an 2008 Aurion AT-X(which I can get back if I so desire). I'm 18 years old, and this will be my first car. Parents have helped contribute to my budget. Anyway, the Aurion is a 2008 model AT-X. It's white. It has had one owner previously - company car (NAB). Done 62k. Does not have a scratch to be seen. When looking at Aurions I loved the look of the Sportivo, but its outside my range. However, I think a spoiler on the back of the AT-X, tinted windows (especially on a white care)and possibly new wheels when I can afford it would make it look pretty good too. What are your thoughts?
