  1. Cheers Aiden, so both the front and rear speakers are 6x9. Yeah I realised that an aftermarket headunit would obviously sound better, but finding a good branded one compatible with the reverse camera and finding a kit for the steering wheel controls seems to be in the $500+ range. Any recommendations?

    Worst case scenario I can lose the reverse camera, but how much would a reliable steering wheel control kit cost?

  2. Hello all,

    So I've recently traded in my 2010 Corolla for a 2009 Aurion Sportivo SX6 and absolutely love it so far. The only issue I have so far is the stock audio system. In my Corolla I had a straight forward setup, with a 4 channel amplifier powering my 4 door speakers, and a mono amp powering a 12' sub, with an after market head unit, which have been removed from the Corolla and are now waiting to be installed. However, because the Aurion has a few more fancy features such as reverse camera and steering wheel controls, it would seem a very expensive option to replace the head unit to one that is compatible with the reverse camera (which I would like to keep).

    Firstly, does anybody know the sizes of the speakers in the Aurion? I'm assuming the front door speakers are standard 6 inch, and the rear shelf ones are 6x9 inch. Please correct me if I am wrong.

    More importantly though, is will it be possible (and decent) if I simply run the stock head unit, with my 4 channel powering the front door speakers and the rear shelf ones, and my mono powering my sub? I know many stock units will work with this, but I want to make sure this will work 100% before I get someone to fiddle around with it.

    Any ideas, help, or contributions will be gladly appreciated, cheers! :)

  3. That sounds alright, I realise that if I want performance I am better off buying another car (which I am not doing). So visual looks like the way to go. Alloys, body kit and maybe a new sound system are in the equation, any other ideas??? :D

  4. Yeah it's not bad for a 1.3L, I don't really want to add a lot of performance however, especially because I am on my L's and a lot of performance upgrades are banned for me. I was thinking more along the lines the cosmetic, but all I can think of on the spot is maybe some 15" or 16" alloys, and maybe even a new sound system (preferring one with iPhone connectivity).

  5. Hi all,

    I currently own a blue Toyota Echo (2004). At the moment it is completely standard, and I am interested in making some cheapish but noticeable modifications.

    If anyone could give me a hand compiling a list, that would be much appreciated.

    Thanks! :D

  6. Hi all,

    I am the proud owner or a 2004 Toyota Echo, and am currently on my l's.

    Also, if anyone could help me with a problem that would be great. Every time I try to change my profile settings like my picture and stuff, I get error message #1026.

    Thanks, looking forward to using the site ;)
