  1. Have you reset the ECU?

    Resetting the ECU: Take the (-) terminal off the battery for 1-2hrs. Reconnect and start the car. Let the car warm up to normal operating temps, then take the car for a 30-60 mins cruise.

    Past that, consult an expert

  2. just wondering for zre dash, what would be the best cleaning products to put on it ?

    MC, This comes down to a personal preference in cleaning products. i use all mothers gear and dont a have a problem with them (used to fix the OP's issue)

    Stay away from amour all, otherwise any other product should be.

  3. ok, so my little fix worked.

    Terry Towel Cloth, & Mother's showtime: This removed all the shiny ugly stuff from the dash (i'm guessing amour all *sick*)

    Terry Towel Cloth & Mother Dash Protector : Applied about 2-3 times as the plastics just soaked it up until it a nice matte finish :)

    Sorry, no pics

  4. Pete's got it, remove the vents first and you'll be able to access the head unit... What I find a lot easier, is to also remove the centre trim with the ash tray, heater controls, etc... With that taken out, you're a lot less likely to drop the bolts down the back of the dash, which without magnetised sockets is very, very easy to do with this model...

    When fitting the new unit in, make sure you've got the air vents attatched to the head unit and slide it in as one... This will ensure the air vent panel will fit correctly and not keep popping back out all the time...

    Okay, awesome. But doesn't the center trim with the heater controls etc. have to be removed anyway to access the top bit with the air vents and stuff?

    Regardless, I am replacing the center trim that holds the ashtray and surround for the heater controls since some ***** has broken the lid to that storage box above the ashtray. :(

    As for mounting the new unit in, it's a genuine Toyota unit... the "Follow me - navigation" unit, so I was gonna ask, in terms of screws, do I just reuse the screws from my current stock head unit?

    You should remove the centre console part for easy access and in case you drop a screw, it will be easy to get too.

    And yes, its a stock stereo, you can use the same screws......tho it should come with a fresh set ;)

  5. Hey Guys,
