Very nice job, must sound great. What head unit are you running?

Really? I didn't think low power feed could do that, I guess a line converter into an amp would be a good investment to up the power to the speakers in that case.

With the on/off switch, is it ok to just leave it on all the time rather than swtich it on every time you park or should they be switched off during normal driving?

Hi Dave, I get letters too from my Toyota dealership that don't match what is on the sticker, I called them and they told me that the services are to do with whatever comes first be it the month or kilometres, I told them what the sticker said and they told me that the mechanics sometimes put the wrong dates or kilometers on them because they service so many different cars that they sometimes can't remember how long it is between services. I had a 2003 Camry 4cyl and when the new shape came out with the same motor they service time and k's where different. Something to do with the oil or that cars go longer between services because of all the electronic stuff that monitors if anything goes wrong, like if the 'check' light comes on from the ECU telling you to contact toyota because the computer has picked up something in one of it's sensors that is not right. Would give them a call and ask why, I got mine new in 2010, I have only done 16500km but it has to be serviced within three months of the date they specify or the kilometers or your warranty get voided, but check with them to be sure and see what they have to say, I know it's a warranty issue if you don't get the regular services done. Cheers

I might have to rethink doing the DRL mod on my Aurion Defyant, in case I damage the headlights taking them apart I called Toyota about replacements, you can't buy just the clear lens, I think you could on the Falcons when they first went to plastic instead of glass, but I have to buy the whole assembly and for my 2010 Touring I was just quoted $938.38 each plus GST. Think I will be modifying my headlamp protectors and putting them back on, had to take them off because of the eyelids.

Thanks Defyant, Yeah the DRLs on the headlamps give a good look but I would rather have something more professional or factory looking, I have seen ones for the new model on eBay, at least I think they are for the new one. When those ones die or start to fall off will look into it then, just the angle makes for a nice aggressive look and they were cheap, quick and easy for the time being.

Sounds great, just like a high performance sportscar. I can't wait to get mine done early next year.

$200 for the pair, took me about half a day to install them all up, I had a 2003 Camry previous and the door speaker pods are practically the same so I knew what to expect, I just had to cut out the factory speaker from the pod, trim the lip on the inside edge of the pod until the speaker fitted in, then I just made up small 'L' shaped brackets out of sheet metal, I pop riveted them into the sides of the pod under each of the mounting holes in the speaker, then just drilled a hole in the brackets for the speaker screws to self tap into them and it holds the speaker down nice and firm in place. I still used the factory speaker connections inside the pod, just soldered the wires for the speaker to the lugs inside so I could still use the factory plug for the pod.

They look great, and they stand out, I will try as I type this to put a pic of mine painted in black on my black car, they are pretty hard to notice. OK it says 'You have exceeded your allotted disk space for attachments' can someone tell me what that means, how do get more allotted disk space?

My head unity has a portable player selection for input, I have an AUX in socket but when I select the portable player it say 'No Portable Player Connected' or Connection Failed, I can't remember, I would imaging you could, check with the owners manual or Toyota, that should confirm it, I haven't tried to link my pnone to play music as I don't have that many songs on it.

I have installed a set of 6 x 9 Rockford Fosgate Punch P1694C speakers in the rear, they are running off the standard head unit, I had to cover the tension bar in the boot with foam to protect the magnet but I get a rumbling at low volume mainly in the right speaker, I have check the polarity and it is wired correctly, it seems to be less at higher volume but the bass seems hollow like the speaker is getiing too much power but the volume is only at 45 on the head unit, it only noticable on certain songs depending on the bass, I can only think there is a problem with the speakers. I only installed them on Sunday. Not sure why it's happening. Also does anyone have a pic of the standard dash tweeter or can tell me the size of it and what would be a suitable replacement?

Or if you want to keep your fog lamps, there are these, http://www.ebay.com....=item4ab436cba1 , Bodykits Kindom also have a similar set on eBay or on their site if you want to get them in Australia. If you wanted to go with these, I would but self adheasive LED stips from Autobarn or Supercheap that you can cut to length and make them youself for about $40.

Finally got some plcs of my Bodykits Kingdom lip kit for 09 on Aurions, don't know how to add pics to my gallery, could someone let me know if photobucket is ok and my pics wont be available around the world to anyone so I know to black out my number plate if I use it. Keep getting an error trying to upload the pics to this post.

From A : it would be the cheapest i think and is usually done from there hence the "muffler delete" Thanks bigVAN

With deleting the rear mufflers and running 2.5" pipes back, is it done from point 'A' (the join) or point 'B' (the 'Y') in this pic? I have measured the pipes and after the join to the muffler they are 2.1 inch and just under 2 inches on the other side of the join back to the 'Y'. Also on a different note, can't we add pics to our own gallery any more?

Thanks Defyant.

Hi Currajong, You just remove the painted back of the mirror, that would be the cover pointing to the front of the car, you just move the mirror glass around and if you look behind it (you may need a torch) you will see the plastic clips that hold the cover on, you have to unhook them and take the cover off (using a screwdriver), this will give you access to the screws that hold the indicator assembly. Just unscrew it and replace it with the new one, there should be a plug to disconnect the old one. It's not easy, if you ask a panel beater or spray painter how to take them off they will show you and may even do it for you for free, they can do it in about a minute if you have trouble, biggest problem doing it is trying not to break something or scratch the paint, wrap your tools in a rag when you use them, the Aurion/Camry manuals on here show you how to remove them, just do a search or look in the frequent questions thread, it's the 1st one under Aurion. Hope that helps.

I had no problem with mine, but as linhvo said above, bending the metal bit on the led itself, sometimes the contact wires have moved to the centre and just need bending out, carefull removing the maplight/sunnies holder, I had mine replaced under warranty for a faulty switch, while I was waiting for it to be replaced I asked spare parts how much one costs, around $400, rediculous.

My solution when I lose a tool is buy a new one and as soon as you get back home and back to work you'll find the one you lost. hahaha. Has happened a few times, at least I have spares now.

I wanted to go with Rockford Fosgate 6 x 9 2ways recommended to me on here but I couldn't track any down and they are discontinued, I went with Focal 6 x 9 2ways from Autobarn, $229RRP got them for $200, the are made in France, I put sound deadening inside the whole door then some acoustic matting from Jaycar directly behind the speaker in the door, I am only running them off the standard deck and I am very impressed with them, great bass and piercing treble, not much modification to fit in the standard door pods once I cut out the factory speaker and the depth is fine window glass wise. They have adjustable tweeters too so you can angle them up towards your ears.

I have one of those tool pickup things that you push on the end and 4 claw like steel grabbers come out the other end, if there is enough room I have fed that through 1st then grabbed the wire and pulled it all back through, I use this when going from the one side of the dash to the other and it also worked in the rubber tubing from the car into the door, I pulled the boot out at each end, fed the tool grabberd up the guts of it then fed the wire into the claws and just pulled in back through. You will know the thing, got it from Jaycar but most car shops have them, quick pickups or something like that they are called.

I bought a pair of aftermarket Camry folding mirrors, they have the wires for heating the glass for fog, I have looked in the owner's manual and it says some models come with mirror heaters that work with the rear demister. I looked in the wiring diagram for this in the manuals I downloaded from here, mine is a 2010 model and although the manual covers up to 2009, they say the mirror heater wires are yellow then white with black stripes up to the mirror, I have not found any yellow wires but I have found 3 white with black stripe wires in each front door, two are thinner wires and they are all crimped together to a thicker white with black stripe wire, I am thinking of pulling them appart and testing to see if they are mirror heater wires, can anyone confirm this? In the owner's manual in the fuse section there is a spot under the glove box labelled MIR HTR (mirror heaters), there is already a fuse in there from new but my oringinal mirrors didn't have heaters, are the wires in the door I mentioned the heater mirrors and they have just earthed them out to complete the circuit for the rear demister to still operate? If anyone can help me with it would be much appreciated. Cheers.
