I searched to see if this has been mentioned before, but couldn't find anything, which surprises me.

My auto highbeam on 2016 Cruiser turns itself off after dipping, then back on again when it sees fit! Happens intermittently, dealer can't fix it.

Anyone have any clues?

Anyone have one or know where I can get one?

Most days the Audio System cannot see the USB stick. Once you have managed to convince it that it's there, by wriggling the stick then it's OK. Next time it's turned on, the Audio will be Off!

Any ideas - could be a dry joint in the back of the socket?

Forget E10 - it's false economy. Put 36psi in your tyres and it will handle better and help the economy as well as making them last longer!

Does anyone know where I can download these?

They were here: http://www.etimago.com/yaris/repairmanual/ but they seem to have gone.

sory every one my english not very well!!!

i has a 2009 Aurion ATX, which originally came with (standard?) CD-Radio with Bluetooth!

i bought a used CD-Navigation unit from an Aurion Presara and had it installed in my ATX!

everythink is good but wire and cable microphone not fit in cd-navigation!

how i can connect it..... please help me ..... i use bluetooth all the time !!!!

and how i can off safety mode!!!! over ride navigation!!!

thanks hamster and beep beep

The microphone for the Sat Nav is in the overhead console just in front of the 'DOOR' in the interior light switch. Since it was not originally fitted with the Sat Nav, it probably is not fitted with a microphone. ATX and others have the Mic in the radio. You need to take the car to an expert!

I have just bought a new facelift Yaris YRX with a navigation system in it. The map screen is far too bright but I can't find any adjustment for it and can't find any info in the manual supplied by Toyota. Does anyone know how to carry out this adjustment, would rather do it myself if possible, don't really want to take it back to Toyota.

The Toyota part number for the system is: PZQ60-00533. The system is made by Fujitsu Ten.

Many thanks in advance

There is usually a separate manual for the Sat Nav. Try looking for a Disp button. My Aurion has Contrast & Brightness adjustments for the display. Contact Fujitsu Ten if all else fails - they are pretty good at responding.

So in the end i thought what the hell it's only $7 may as well get some, the guy at the store said the key to them is keeping them clean as a lot of people just put them on their cars and never touch them again, they then get clogged up and stop working. Seems fair enough i guess if there blocked then no air can travel through them.

Ok results? well after a few trips at night on back roads i can honestly say i haven't seen a single animal but as some others have mentioned i can't be sure that it was because of these whistlers or if it was simply because i had got lucky and there wasn't any animals about at that time but yeah so far so good!

they do work i use to work for autobarn in nsw and we had the sales reps come in that use to sell them and they sold plastic ones and the metal ones he even admitted that the plastic ones are piles of **** and don't work but for some reason the metal ones do and they do have the electric ones but they are very expensive but they send out a very annoying clicking sound that for animals is even more annoying but i rather hear that then hitting a 6 foot red roo that will end up on your front seat kicking the **** out of u if its still alive lol

Take a big breath...

Having lower air pressure in the back seems to be a little on the reverse logic of things with a FWD. Remember that the rears tend to not get as 'heated' from driving as the fronts do. As a result, the front will increase in pressure more than the rears. If using different pressures, you should be going for higher on the rears than the fronts (cool pressure). I would be aiming for a 2 PSI difference.

I run the same pressure all round when measured at warm/running temperature and don't find it to affect the handling in any way as some would imagine with the rear being lighter than the front.

32 PSI is a little on the low side for tires anyways. You should go for at least 34 PSI for better tire wear.

You raise quite an interesting point and one that I hadn't thought of earlier. Anyway, I stopped at the air hose during my fill up today and my front tyres were registering 30 odd PSI and the rears were around 28. So I increased these to 38 and 34 respectively and I can report a difference in handling. At the moment I can't comment as to whether it's an improvement or how drastic that improvement is, but all signs are pointing to a noticeable improvement.

I think I might run with this for a week or so and see how it feels and then maybe drop/raise each of the pressures to 36 all round, then see how that affects everything.

As a reference, prior to the tyre pressure change, handling was never an issue and if I had to rate it, it's be a 6-7 / 10. The rating should probably be higher, but I thought I'd leave some room for further assessment/comparison.

I have 35 all round in the ZR and that seems to be a good compromise. Good handling and no bruised bum.

I would go the ZR6 over the SX6 anyday. The extras are well worth the 1-2K over what the SX6 would cost.

Also, shop around and you will be able to find a bargain. My friend picked up a ZR6 with 58000kms, factory sunroof and satnav for $23k from a dealer in July this year. He got a full year of rego with it too.

The only thing he had replaced is the tyres.

ZR6 - power pass seat, heated exterior mirrors, auto dipping exterior mirrors (can be switched off!), rain sensing wipers, rear sun blind, sunroof, sat nav + 8 speakers & amp under drivers seat, leather, keyless entry & start. The list goes on... wouldn't be without my keyless entry - no fumbling in the supermarket carpark... upgrade model, of course.

Forgot the clearance sonars, auto dipping interior mirror & drivers seat memory.

Need I say more?

Cool thanks. Seems the AUX input mod won't work on my unit as the presara has the GPS SAT NAV and doesn't seem like ppl are getting it to work on these. Don't really wanna replace the headunit as the factroy sat nav one is rather nice. May have to except defeat on this one.

Even if you had a 2011 Presara, you still wouldn't get streaming audio, but you would get an Aux input. My ZR doesn't have streaming audio, but it does have the Aux input (not that I use it! 170 mp3 tracks on each of 4 CDs is enough.

I drove 879.3 highway km today (from Normanhurst, north of Sydney, to Melbourne), starting with a full tank and refuelling with 66.2L. Works out at 7.5L/100km, but the dash said 7.1, using 98RON.

Next trip I will carry some spare fuel and see if I can beat 900km ...

I did see a 6.2L/100km on the weekend, 160km after refuelling, but Sydney traffic destroyed that!

I've seen 7.0 on mine using good old 91 octane - driving from Bairnsdale to Sydney via Canberra, but similarly to above it disappeared pretty quickly once in Sydney!

Yes.

Sorry, I misunderstood, thinking it had stopped raining.

Is it only the very first wipe that you have the issue with (like I occasionally get), or does it continue for the whole drive? If it continues, report to your dealer.

The delay in wiping I get after being parked in the rain is due to the film of water absorbing the light rain drops so the sensor doesn't detect the rain as well as it does after the first wipe (the sensor is under the swept area of the wiper blades), after which all is well.

On a side note, I have never seen the difference when using the +/- sensitivity adjustment for auto.

I had the feeling it was something to do with refraction and the water film being like 'normal' glass. Maybe I expect too much of my technology!

'the wiper will operate once to clear the driver's front view if it is set to AUTO when it rains.'

The way I read that is that it must be raining to perform this operation.

Was it raining at the time you got into the car?

Yes.

Doesn't seem to work too well if I come out of the pub on a Friday night and it's been raining.

There's your issue ... the sensor doesn't pick up static water, it activates based on water impacting the windscreen.

I get the same thing parked at work on a wet day, but once I get going it isn't a problem.

I quote from the Aurion handbook: 'As soon as the vehicle starts to move, the wiper will operate once to clear the driver's front view if it is set to AUTO when it rains.' And it doesn't do it.

That is what this post is all about.

The sensor is at the top centre of the windscreen next the rear view mirror. If the rain sensor tape is missing, the sensor will look very clear. The tape, which is essential for the sensor to work, is slightly opaque.

I posted some pics in tis previous post about the same issue.

Hopes this helps/

Thanks for that - I will have look in the daylight tomorrow. as I can't see anything from the front, chances are the tape is there. It just doesn't work as well as I think it should!

I have a 2011 ZR6 and the wipers are supposed to wipe the screen if it is wet once you turn the ignition on. Doesn't seem to work too well if I come out of the pub on a Friday night and it's been raining. I usually get fed up after 500metres or so and give them a help by washing the screen. Adjusting the sensitivity doesn't seem to help and there is no mention of rain sensing wipers in the 'WW' pdf!

I'm just curious, as I will mention it when it goes in for the 15k service next month. They seem to work normally depending on rain pattern. I gave them my 'watering can' test and they failed!

Apart from a new sensor, any ideas?

Which part of the windscreen did you apply your "watering can" test on? If it ain't hititng the sensor, it ain't gonna auto-wipe.

I find the rain sensor isn't much good if there's only light rain/drizzle. You'll still need to manually hit the switch to wipe the windscreen.

Other times it'll keep wiping even though there's no more rain. It's almost as if I'm driving through a phantom shower.

BTW, everything is as delivered from Factory. Original windscreen, etc.

I think rain sensing wipers are only an aid, and should never replace driver intervention and discretion as to whether or not the windscreen needs to be cleared or not.

Thanks DJKOR & Beep Beep (I think I would have watered the sensor...). Looks like one to leave to the dealer. I'm not going to fiddle with the sensor. It's actually hard to see through the windscreen where the sensor is mounted - can't tell if there is any tape or not.

Bit more info here: The Age - US model.

Because the next gen Aurion truely is just a V6 Premium Camry, it has no design input from Toyota Design Australia. Our next Aurion is really what the rest of the world see's as the "premium Camry" there will be some subtle changes but the car wont be as different as the Current Aurion as that had alot more Australian input in design etc.

Now that is a real pity... Hopefully they have already picked up the changes that were made by TMCA last time.

btw my ZR6 is white and I had to wait from October until the middle of Feb to get it. Maybe they were in the middle of a LHD run...

lol that is strange? White is a very common Sportivo colour, did yours have the sunroof by any chance? And nah it isn't anything to do with LHD/RHD. the Toyota production system and the Altona plant is so advanced that a Thai spec left hand drive Camry could be built followed by a RHD Aust Spec Aurion Sportivo. Camry and Aurion in all their different specs are built on the same line at the same time.

Yes, sunroof & sat nav... probably explains the delay.

Since there has being a few queries on the newest where is disc for genuine sat nav i am pleased to inform you all that V17 has been released and now is for sale, price however s still a killer. P/N: PZQ86-00201 RRP $325.00

Wow, that's a bargain!.......... NOT. :P

Whereis have V17 (Australia only) for $295 - http://www.whereisma...ls&deviceid=252

The Denso one that's in my car is V17_R6 which includes NZ. If you aren't taking your car to NZ...

When I get a call from a phone that does not want me to know their number, the unit dispays 'Not supported', when the what it really means is 'WTF are you telling me?'. Why can't it display 'Private' like all mobiles & home phones?

Is there any s/w update to fix this? Toyota don't seem to have any customer contact info for items like this on their website.

Ver. 17 is not available yet. When it is available, you'll find all the information here. (Usually about March/April)

Interesting... I bought a new ZR6 with Sat Nav, picked up on 12 Feb and it had V17 installed. A couple of months later I received an e-mail from Whereis (they do the maps etc) to say that the V17 was now available. I'm always sending them updates to the maps... I checked out the DVD in the car and it says that it's made in Japan (by Toyota)!

I was thinking of the same thing the other day. The carpet material used in the boot isn't particularly grippy, plus my tool bag, boxes etc are smooth to start with.

I was thinking of going to Clark Rubber an getting some lengths of rubber or something and making some sections. You know how you put a slice in either piece going halfway and you join them together? Kinda like that.

I had a mate that sold conveyer belting - sort of dimpled rubber. Makes really good non slip boot lining, but i don't don't know where you would be able to buy it.
