if it's slow to start, maybe consider getting you battery load tested to know the condition of the battery it could of dropped it's cranking capacity causing the hard starting issue. any battery world or most auto shops can do this for you.

For starters, finding a decent TRD for sale is often hard enough, but considering the Satnav was an optional extra then you're going to be much harder pressed to find a TRD with the sunroof/Satnav option. I wouldn't bother if I were you. My car came with the factory Satnav unit and it was a piece of rubbish - no Aux or Ipod (without the use of a very expensive external module), complicated GPS, and generally useless. Although my current aftermarket Satnav has some small issues I prefer it any day of the week over the factory rubbish. Further having to pay roughly $300 for every map update meant the unit wasn't economical either. It would have been considered fancy pre-2005, but for a 2007+ onwards vehicle it is incredibly behind the times. steven, thanks for the information, i will keep looking for a black SL TRD but now the satnav will not be a deal breaker

has anybody fitted a 20" wheel to a TRD aurion ? do they fit ok without rubbing ?

sorry jacob for hijacking your thread, but my question directly relates to your thread. I'm in the market for a black TRD 3500SL aurion and I've been looking for a good one for a while and wanted one with the factory options with sunroof and satnav, which leads to my question. Is the satnav head unit that you were complaining about at the start of you thread a factory toyota satnav unit ? should i avoid looking for a TRD with a Factory fitted Satnav ? does the factory satnav have iPod/iphone connectivity ?, can you install rear headrest screens of the factory satnav unit ? I'm missed out on a black TRD 3500SL with 35000kms and owned by 1 50yr old owner since new, kicking my self i didn't jump on it when i had the chance as i haven't seen anything on carsales that can match the condition (like brand new) of the one that got away.. i guess what my question is that if the car i'm looking for happened not to have a factory satnav it would not be such a deal breaker.
