Pittsy

I noticed today when I locked my 2015 Presara there was no single buzzer or hazard lights flash. 3 Doors locked except the drivers door with the usual audible clunk.

Unlocking caused the normal audible clunk as the 3 doors unlocked with the normal double buzzer and hazard lights flash, so that’s normal.

Appears that my drivers door won’t lock and that causes the failure of the single buzzer and hazard lights flash. 
 

I’ll have to lock the car manually with the key until I can get it fixed by Toyota.

Yep normal for most cars.....

I had a family member connect one of those computer monitoring programs into his 4 yo Holden Calais. Funnily enough it shows his speed exactly the same as the GPS but the speedo shows less. So the car knows exactly how fast it’s going but the techs have programmed the speedo to deliberately over read.

His GPS showed 100 km/h while the speedo showed 95 km/h.

My Presara does exactly the same.

Probably the same on all cars by design to make sure we don’t speed however we all know anyway!!

Just fitted 4 Michelin Primacy 4 Tyres. 

My Presara was fitted with Bridgestone Turanza and they only lasted 35,000 kms in spite of the fact I looked after them properly, inflation, rotation etc etc.

Michelin seem to have the edge on most searches I’ve done.

Any ideas about the Michelin Pilot Sport 4 Tyres?

I will replace the Bridgestone Turanza Tyres that came with the Car and haven’t lasted too long, 35,000 Kms and I look after them too!!

225/45 R18

How are the tyres doing now 1 year later?

About to buy the PS4 225/45 R18’s for my 2015 Presara. Replacing the Bridgestone Turanza.

thanks.

No not those. The ones I mean are round DRL's that fit into the same area as round Fog lights. You see some Mercs, Prius and Volvo with them.

I thought it may be possible or fit these round style lights where the round Fog lights are.

Current model.

I'm keen on the round ones that fit into existing fog light area, a bit like Volvo Merc etc.

Thanks

Very happy with my 2012 Presara, so much better than the 2008 I had before. Doesn't pull left either!!

Love the DAB, iPhone connection, HID's looking around corners etc.

You mention LED DRL foggies. Could you give a little more info. I have a 2012 Presara and would be keen to fit LED DRL fog lights.

Thanks

Map update sold.

Other stuff still available.

Sure.

Check your pm

Ok, fair enough I wasn't aware of the price they to for.

I could only find 1 ver 18 disc for Toyota at $100.

He can have mine for $100 bucks, or then again I could just throw it away...... Don't really care.

Hey? They can buy the original DVD that retails for $295 for less than $200 ??

Really, where exactly?

come on people give me some feedback?

Is anybody interested?

what? doesn't anybody want the latest map for a really good price?

somebody?

I have the 2012 Map DVD I can sell you for $200 bucks.

It's the Denso Whereis map18 update.

I bought it 3 months ago for my 2008 Presara but last week bought a 2012 Presara so I don't need it now.

So it's available if you want it and it's works really well.

And cheap at $200 bucks!!

All correct.

My 2012 has 60/40 fold down seats.

yeah thanks.

I'm off to Autobarn to see.

Ok.

Well I was thinking of fitting the SMD 5050 H11 LED lights into the Fog light. BUT if you say they are subject to melting then I'll give that a miss!!

So how's about fitting the Philips Blue Vision 4000K white light globes..........

Different sizes can fit into High Beams, Fog lights and Parker lights?

Maybe this would be the safer option and offer long life as well as a nice white color light?

Hi,

I've recently sold my 2008 Presara ( bought a 2012 one !! ) and have a few used goodies for sale:-

1/ Toyota Denso Version 18 update CD for Nav system. Used in original box $200

2/ Grom USB i Pod car stereo adapter kit for Aurion. Used, no box and buyer will need to purchase a Toyota Data cable ( TOY ) separately. $80

3/ Phillips DRL5's used, no box. All cables included but no instructions. $170

All prices do not include postage.

Located in Melbourne.

I've contacted the seller of the DRL's adjacent to the Fog lights and I'm not inspired yet.

He said he only has a guide in Chinese and will give me photos to install..........

I would be worried they might 1/ over heat 2/ screw the electrical system and 3/ Void my warranty.

Ahhhhhhhhh too many decisions!!

Oooh nice.

I particularly like the DRL adjacent to fog lights.

How hard do you think they would be to fit? I have a mate that installs telephone exchanges and knows about electrical stuff that might fit them for me.

I also like the DRL headlight surrounds.

Thanks a lot for the info, much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

I've just gotten a new 2012 Presara so the whole DRL unit from Bodykits Kingdom wouldn't fit.

The other link to CarX is just the thing I was looking for.

And the good news is there office is only 7 km's away from home.

Might drop by there tomorrow.

Thanks

Thanks but not quite what I meant.

Keeping the round original Fog light housing but installing 4 LED's in position instead of the Fog Lights globes.

I've seen Toyota Prius and Volvo cars with what looks like round Fog lights but are actually bright LED's ( DRL's )

Ive noticed a few Volvo and Merc cars with DRL's located where the round Fog lights used to be.

Grouped in a nice box 4 LED shape.

Could we not replace the Fog Light round unit with a DRL unit that fits in its place?

Anyone know of these???

Cheers
