Hi Metal, they don't have the manual for 09 on models do they??

That I will Metal. I have used up my download so am back to dial up speed, so frustrating, it's from looking at all those youtube vids with Aurions, all started with the exhaust vid, was taking forever to download what you posted today but I have copied the links and I get my full speed back on the 16th, long 5 days it's gonna be...lol

Cheers Metal.

Hi Tanny, in the Camry I had before my Aurion, I upgraded the rears to Sony Xplode 200w RMS 3 way 6 x 9s that were on special at the time at Supercheap Auto. In the front doors I put Response Precision series 75w RMS 6 x 9 kevlar cone 2 way coaxials with 1" adjustable dome tweeters from Jaycar (they still carry them according to their catalogue $119, says Qty 1 but it means pair I'm sure), they gave great base in the front with the tweeter putting out clear highs adjusted upwards pointing to the head of the opposite side passenger. They all fitted into the factory holes well with minor alterations to the plastic door pods for the fronts. All round it gave a good sound and I was impressed. I have not looked at the front Aurion doors yet but I know the Sony's would fit the rear, gave a good sound all round with just the factory head unit. Hope that helps.

Thanks Trent, That's good that the traction control is the way it is and not faulty. When my brakes have locked up it's usually been under hard braking and one wheel will hit a loose patch of dirt or water on the road and it will stop/skid that wheel but only when the car has almost come to a complete stop. It will lock up just for a second or so. Maybe I need to ease off the pedal when the car is coming to a stop.

I am wanting to know how good Aurion Traction control and ABS is, my Aurion gets wheels spin under hard acceleration going straight or turning left or right and is worse is wet weather. It always spins on gravel/dirt roads. Was just wondering if this was common, I mean it doesn't light up the tyres like I would expect with the grunt it has, have told toyota and they have tuned the computer to the full extent of the adjustment available yet I still get wheel spin occasionally or if I try I can get wheel spin sometimes. Is it just the way they are?? As for my ABS which toyota has tuned the computer to the full extent, on hard braking, particularly if I it's over the white lines I will get a skid and also on loose gravel on the road. Is this a common thing and how they are ment to be?? If you guys could let me know it would be much appreciated.

Thanks Vijjith555, might pay a visit to my local muffler shop for a quote, yours sounds good, nice purr at idle and has that high performer tiger like growl when reving.

My partner bought a 2010 Corolla Ascent Hatch which has fold back mirrors as standard, she';s in Melbourne at the moment, I drove down last year to give my Aurion a good run (From Townsville North QLD, around 2800k's each way) and Melbourne parking is shocking, parks are so small. My mirrors got knocked around a bit in carparks when I would get back to the car, some people don't have any respect for other people's cars, I had no dents in it either, was down there a month and got 3 from pricks opening their doors onto it.

Folding mirrors arrived today from TOYOTA camry/solara power-folding signal side mirror SAE/07~2010, the site says their address is San Diego, CA but the return address on the box has the same name of the person on the emails I recieved from them and return address was Taiwan. Backs or should I say fronts, the bit to be painted is very hard to get on, don't want to push to hard in case I break the glass of the clips, can't say for sure till I get it on in a trial but it doesn't look like it's going to be the neatest fit. 4 SMD LED indicators on each but I wonder how you replace them if one blows, I'd say you replace the whole indicator section, instrructions are vague at first, they dont tell you what plug is in the pic. No actual switch to fold the mirrors back but the module I had to purchase was called auto-folding switch. I guess that says it all. Some of the parts shown in the glossy instuctions don't look the same as what came with the kit. There is suppose to be a driver side & passenger side harness according to the instructions pic but this is not so. May all be clearer after a bit of a play with it, wires named but they do not say if they are positive or negative so makes a bench test a bit hard. For all I know when I pull the door trims off it may plug straight in, they show a plug you are to change the pins around in to suit the mirror but they don't tell you where it's located but it is meant for left hand drive, the vehicle in the photos has the Lexus 'L' in the centre of the steering wheel. Again being left hand drive they don't tell you the colour or location of the indicator lights wires and there is no scotch clips (those blue wire joiners) but the photo of the kit shows them. Will take pics and post as I go, I'll consult a auto-electrician and he may make sense of it all straight away and probably will get it wired professionally to protect some of my warranty though it is not a genuine part. Toyota have already told me that an Oil pressure gauge sender would void the warranty on any problem with the gaskets or oil related problems even if not even related to the sender.

I am going to do this mod next year to mine, I was just wondering, are the vids that are on here so we can hear the sound, are the cars in them supercharged models or naturally aspirated. Just need a comparison cause mine is not supercharged, I imagine the note would be different from a supercharged car. I like the idea of leaving the resonator and deleting the mufflers and straight through pipes, not sure wether to stay with 2" or go to 2.5". I noticed some have listed they have deleted the resonator and changed the muffler. I like the sound of blue Aurion that Vijith555 posted and was wondering what the proper specs are on the mod, that is the sound I am after.

Got all the gear and going to do the reflector mod tomorrow, think they look great Defyant, nice job.

I'm going to use the CCFL's I bought for the door pockets in the boot, then going all LED on the interior lights (dome, map & vanity). Want to do the door courtesy/step lights in red leds but the T10 wedge bulb sits in the middle of the diffused cover and all the LEDs I have tried only light up 1/2 the lens, Leds don't shine below the wedge base. I'm looking at making custom festoon bulb holders that sit in there and I can get the LED festoons in red, that should shine brightly out the whole diffuser.

I went with the LED strips, thanks again Metal. They turned out pretty good with the footwell lights done, good thing I like the colour blue. Mixed it up a bit with the shifter's slot, the gear letters & the cig light.

Thanks Metal.

LMAO!!!! Wow! Sounds like you will need an additional control module because your power mirror controls will only control the mirror, not the entire folding unit. Ask if they sell the control module and how much. I'm keen too if you wanted to try for a group discount. Definitely aftermarket or it would cost an insane amount of money. Hi GDUBB, The site has the choice of an ' auto-fold switch for $48 and a Tilt control switch for $78 but they replied back to me tonight with this: 'Yes! The mirrors equiped with the motors to move the glass. It's compatable with the existing controls in your car. Since we don't carry the tilt module any more, I don't have any answer for this issue. Thanks!' I have asked them again about the wiring diagram and which of the 2 switches they list I would need to fold the mirror back at least but they haven't got back to me yet.

How did the cathodes perform as footwell lights particularly when they fade in or out with the interior light or did they just go out or come on immediately?

With the LED stips, which side of the door pocket did you mount them on, the side closest to the seat or on the door side?

This is the response I got after asking 5 questions about the mirrors. I cant make much sense of it, I asked if they were genuine or aftermarket parts, does it come with fitting instructions and a wiring diagram, will it work with the existing electric mirror controls in my car and which switch will I need to fold the mirrors back and tilt down for reverse parking and if they are aftermarket are they desighed for Toyotas and the models listed. That was my 5 questions to them and this was their reply. (copy and pasted) 'These are aftermarket part. You need our control module to fold the mirror assy the whole set, it's dofferent rom the moving of glass only. Thanks!' a 'ruyun lue' is the person on the emails. I am not sure wether to go ahead with buying them until I know the answers to these, can anyone here help me?

I have looked a bit into this for the Aurion as i was looking into getting them for mine too. After a few hours searching around online, i came up with nothing. It seems there's not many places that do these aftermarket, and none at all that i can see for the Aurion/Camry. I hardly looked into the matter. Typed 'power mirror' into our forum search and: Folding Mirrors With that information in mind, a quick Google search: TOYOTA camry/solara power-folding signal side mirror SAE/07~2010 Has anyone else delt with this site, I have sent several emails asking about the mirrors, they do not answer all my questions or they don't anwer them clearly and refer to parts I will need from them that are not called in the switch selection as they call them in the email. I have asked them to answer my 5 questions in one email, and they answered only 2 and one was very vague. Has anyone else had problems with communication with this site?

Maybe try the wreckers for a set or the Corolla ones could have the same side mirrors or they might fit your Aurion or you could modify the Corolla ones into yours.

yes it broke my heart when he landed after the jump and the front bumper/spoiler broke but, as above has stated it was still driveable.

Thanks Vick, I'm new to most mods on my Aurion, was waiting for the 100% first year warranty to run out before I started changing too much (didn't want to void warranty), I checked with toyota about an oil pressure guage and they told me that because it is a non-genuine part any future oil problems even not related to the guage sender are not covered, I'm in the 2nd 50% year now, then next year is the 25% coverage year, after that it's all out with the mods I have in mind. By the way, the pending mods you list on your beast, you have 'Shark Fin', is that the BMW areal(excuse the spelling) or something else? As for the power fold mirrors, I was annoyed when my partner got her Corolla Ascent Hatch not long after I got my Aurion and it has the power-fold back mirrors, would love that option.

Yeah it was a blink and you missed it situation, had to rewind and pause myself a few times.

Hey guys, you may already know this but on wikipedea they claim the Aurion gained cult status when it appeared in the film The Hangover Part II, it's not in the movie for long but has massive rims and a pretty cool bodykit. It's the car they are driving in the scene where they kidnap the monkey, the rear fin is like the Camry's lip style. Now I just hope they make a Fast and Furious 6 and have a tricked out Aurion in it.

They are the best set of high beams i have used in over 30 different vehicles O_o 3 options to improve Get your headlights adjusted ( toyota dealer can set them with their gear ) Replace bulbs with new Halogen bulbs HID Kit <- Love this option as 55W HID Kit in my 09 ATX is just the best lighting ive ever used (once warmed up after 3 or so mins) Took my car into toyota today, they are ordering 2 new front headlights (under warranty). Factory fault they say during assembly, the high beams were set all the way up and the adjustment screw was set all the to down when they put them together so they could not adjust them any further. Unnusual that both are the same. Have to wait 3 weeks for the new ones to arrive, hope it's not on all Touring models. Got them to look up the angel eyes headlights while I was there, they couldn't find them. Are they factory and if so what model/year are they on or does anyone have a part number. I was hopeing to make a deal with the replacement ones and pay the diff on a set of angels. Could someone let me know if they are factory or aftermarket?
