My letters light blew just after 12 months, check out this video, should help, the shifter gate/slot's light is at the back of the shifter assy, a T5 bulb that just twists out, if is under warranty Toyota should fix it, here is a pic of mine, I changed to LEDs in red and blue but as above, see if it's a loose connection or blown bulb.

Bodykits Kindom kit painted and fitted, will give it a washand polish then add some pics, looks great, being black makes the front spoiler hard to spot from the front but ok in side view, Carmate eyelids painted and fitted, have no headlight protectors now, they would scratch the paint on the eyelids, will think of some mod for any highway or long haul trips. Folding mirrors wiring sorted, backs painted, just have to fit and wire in, all day job, maybe all weekend so will see how I go next weekend.

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.

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

Well, bought a pair of folding mirrors off these guys. they are not in the USA as their address states, had heaps of communitcation probs with them till I finally decided to buy (took 6 emails to answer my questions). Got the backs of the mirrors painted this week with my eyelids and bodykit (pics to follow on that thread as soon as alli is fitted) to match but have not tried to fit them to my Aurion though they are for the US/Asian Camry so should fit, I forget who & please forgive me, but a member told me that when 1 of the 4 LED incator lamps blows you have to buy the whole indicator unit, good luck with that as you read on, I am hoping my factory ones will fit if that happens. Have emailed 3 times regarding a better wiring diagram for the mirrors, even googled Keylight Technology Inc. (which is a crock of s*&t) and got scary news from the US Lexus site for the equivalent of the this site but the forum post stated ' STAY AWAY,STAY AWAY, STAY AWAY.' always good to read after you have bought the item but, without including the rest they had the same probs I did with them, bad communication, poor English and they don't answer their phone, their address is San Diego CA, but when my foldback mirrors arrived to me they were sent from Taiwan, the Lexus site only ordered the LED mirror cover conversion, I got the folding mirror with LED indicatiors. Got a glossy A4 brochure type instructions, but it only tells you how to fit and wire the LED indicator covers which is irrelavant for what I got, 2 wires for indicator, big deal + & -, how hard provided you dont blow them. But I digress, they included a photocopied list of what coloured wire for what but it's vague and doesn't tell you what is negative or positive, about as useful as parachutes on the Titanic. But not totally useless. After playing around a bit (and some beers), out of sheer frustration I just went for it and hooked up power to the wires they stated in the photocopy, (with some electrical pondering of course), with some playing around with reversing positives and negatives as I asumed & expect on adjustable mirrors that also fold back, with just 2 motors and reversing polarity, I got the glass to go up/down/left/right, it's just a manner of swapping the positive & negative (work out the switch later), got the folding part to work & know the wire colours, one way for fold in and reverse to fold out just like the mirror motors. Although not used here in North Qld, they also have the wires for heating the mirror in cold conditions, not module supplied but not immpossible, works with the rear demister/froster but even here still handy 1st thing in the morning with the dew or cold or for travelling (it does get that way in the morning here in winter), Plus I drive to Melb sometimes, I just have to check with an auto electrician to make them work or go off the manuals on here, downloaded the circuit for the mirror heater, without short circuting (2 wires into back of mirror, both black with a white stripe). The inticators were easy, scary because they don't state what is positive and negative and LEDs don't like it around the wrong way as we know, got that working, basically got everthing working excepty the mirror heaters, will try to use the manuals I downloaded from here, thanks for that, if I can't safely work out the wiring with the rear demister then I will take it to a auto electrician, may need a relay or something like that to make sure it works with the rear demister without blowing it or blowing fuses all the time but up in NQ I may even have a switch to turn them off and on ( the mirror heaters), not like I need them all the time here as much as the rear window but will see if it doesn't really matter that the mirrors heat up with the rear window then why bother with a switch unless needed. with all the Lexus and European cars sold here that heave that feature. So will let you know if you want, if you see AURION TOURING 2010 FOR WRECKING AND PARTS on here you will know it failed big time.

Hi guys, I have posted a few threads on here that members have viewed but I am the only thread comment or I started the the thread, in order to reduce clutter and computer space, can anyone tell me how I can delete my threads that no-one has replied to, I mean topics I have posted/started like this one that I can delete to free up space on the site, is it possilble and if so, how?

Thanks.

Fixed the problem with my weather strips, notice the difference, now the practical boring ones look good, before and after shots below, I got some 12mm chrome pinstripe and applied it around the weathershield and now they match in with the chrome around the windows on the car. Not good a good shot of the after one but you can see the difference, the 1st shot you can see the chrome stops at the weather shield (Ugly), the 2nd is after I put the chrome pinstripe on wide (not slimline) weathershields so they match in with the rest of the car..

Thanks, I have contacted Bodykits Kingdom, the rear fibreglass apron has the top lip or hook to go into the brackets that go along the bumper but no brackets came with the kit and it's only fixed in the wheel arces and the center underneath, it moves, not much but enough to wear into the bumper which is not good. I'm not knocking the kit but the passenger side exhaust outlet doesn't line up that well either but planned exhaust upgrade will fix that down the track.

eBay guys has this, just the one, 2006 - 2008 before the facelift.

Yeah I have both, would have prefered to get the Kingdom style ones, ended up with Phillips DRLs screwed under the bumper, but who was it that said there is always something to do, some modificiation, may get the Kingdom ones if I have the extra cash one day.

Front spoiler and side skirt fitted, rear apron next then drive it around looking all beat up to the paint shops for quotes.

They are nice, have you checked out the Bodykits Kingdom ones, I really like them, they are already in the chrome surround of the fog lamps for if you already have fog lamps. Are those ones Adamsy for if you don't have fog lamps, I checked them out on ebay and they don't look like they'd fit if you already had them? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/aurion-Chrome-led-daytime-running-light-09-Up-TRD-/140573157979?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item20bad02a5b

Neat little unit ToyotaFreak, would be great with a split screen covering all the areas you wanted to see when parking or even a dirt road that may have some washed out areas as we get in touristy spots where I am from. Have been playing around with a Steel Mate Automotive 8 sensor kit I got from Jaycar, have enough sensors to put 2 in the rear middle so not just relying on the camera, 4 on the spoiler and I think with enough testing and getting the hole angle right it will work for the spoiler for low stuff like gutters and concrete barriers in carparks, as for the 2 spare from the front, I am looking at placing them at each end of the side skirt for wheel/reverse parking kerb detection so I don;t do any more damage to my rims. The rear sensors can be adjusted for tow bars and spare tires on 4WDs but this would work for the rear side skirt sensor for the kerb. Still studying the manual and working out the best setup and placing for each sensor, definately the 2 in the middle of the rear, even with the camera they will still be handy. May just put 2 in the front spoiler and use the outside ones for the front of the sideskirts so I have them on both sides. Still in the R & D stage to see what I will do. Fitting the bodykit tomorrow and over the weekend before it goes off to the paint shop, will test the front spoiler and side skirt sensors on it then.

Yes SirNed, I have the Toyota head unit with reversing camera, the problem with the front camera I tried from Jaycar was mounting it in a decent position, it doesn't really give you a good view out to the sides for nose in angle parking. Just couldn't find a good spot for it to view the whole front spoiler or enough to keep me from hitting anthing low (gutters, driveways, concrete barrier, speed bumps etc). The lip kit I got is actually lower/fatter towards the outside and is thing in the middle underneath.

Camera no go, got an aftermarket sensor kit, says it's for kurb protection, I think the sensors are adjustable (the sensor range) I want to put them in the front spoiler to avoid damaging it, will it work or too close to the ground and will go off all the time but if adjustable and claims to be for kurb protection or protection from hitting the kurb/kerb?? it should work in theory, have bought the kit and will test it on the car and if it does not do the job I'll just return it. Unless anyone can tell me for sure that it wont work or will I just have to try it to find out?

My body kit from Bodykits Kindom arrived today, now just have to fit it, take it off then take it in for quotes on painting, pretty wrapped about it, there is no Aurions in my city with kits on them aside from factorykits on sportivos and TRDs. Have to take in my eyelids and my folding mirror also to be painted, my wallet is smoking already.

Took front camera to auto electrcian today, still have to test the camera on the car with a small tv to see if it will do the job for parking with the front spoiler, they told me 3 hours at $90 per hour just to wire it in, I am mounting it and running the cable to the back of the unit and supplying the switch, they said it can be done, but 3 hours mininum.

ok, in this diagram, I take it that the 6v + & - are output voltage to power the camera, I am testing a camera to put on the front bumber under the number plate to see if It can show all or mostly the important parts of the front spoiler for when parking etc, at the flick of a switch or push of a button I am going to wire the image from this front camera into the reversing camera input so I wont damage the spoiler, the camera I have is 12v so I take it if I am only running the image into the head unit then the voltage difference wont matter. Do the other wires activate the screen for when reversing, for warranty reasons I will have the last wiring bit done by an autoelectrican but if I turn on the front camera and the input wires receive the signal will the screen come on automatically or am I missing something, maybe to to with the reverse switch. or power to the other two wires? Can anyone help me on that

.

Had a look at an aftermarket parking sensor kit for my front spoiler which should arrive tomorrow or Tuesday, had a theory that it would avoid breaking it on concrete barriers and such but it would be too low and would pick up the road/ground all the time, someone mentioned a reversing camera mounted on the front, I know it would be possible to mount a camera on the front and use a switch went parking to view distances when parkiing nose 1st and for driveways, gutters etc, my car has a rear camera, what is the connection like into the back of the head unit? I was thinking of a switch that you leave for reversing on all the time, no active just so it comes on in reverse, then use the switch to swap the input to the front camera when parking nose first. Ebay has cameras for $60 buy it now, http://www.ebay.com....=item3362bc7441 by Aytotunez, full colour night view with distance marks, are these cameras and good, they have a genuined one listed for $200 buy it now but would the cheaper one be ok to for the job and is there a thread on how to install the 2 cameras or would I have to talk to someone at Jaycar or somewhere like that about a input swtich? Is the input plug a 4 pin DIN or RCA?

Thanks Boondy

Hi Beck, Well I can't speak for the TRD exhaust, maybe the other guys can as the supercharger may make a difference to the sound or maybe not the exhaust just the intake noise, I am going with the mod mentioned on here for mine, the Aurion doesn't come out in a TRD model anymore. Toyota withdrew the TRD supercharged model a few years back. I am not sure but before my Aurion I had a Camry Sportivo which Toyota claimed had a sports exhaust and it did sound different from standard Camrys, My Touring Aurion is suppose to have a sports exhaust but I have not noticed other Touring models with a better sound. Sorry that wasn't much help. But can anyone tell me if upgrading my exhaust from the 1st resonator back to twin 2.5" pipes with no rear mufflers will affect my warranty or do I have to ask Toyota, car in 2nd year of new car warranty?

Have been through the Manuals I downloaded, combed through the wiring diagrams, can anyone tell me the colour of the wire for the horn coming down the steering column loom?, want to install a switch to go from airhorns to standard...legal reasons, also can anyone tell me the colour of the fog lamp switch wire in the same loom?

So no-one can tell me if my harness has the plugs to add the two middle sensors, may have to pull the bumper off again and have a look.

Looks great Shadow, did you paint the calipers on the car or take them off?

Sato i only took off the rims and i just spry it on lol i dont even bother to paper up the brakes

Well I've got the red caliper paint and my Aurion is the same as yours (colour and model) so off with the wheels and give the calipers a squirt of red, looks great on yours, will look ok on mine till the mag upgrade.

Total came to $859 for lip kit 09 up Aurion, delivery is express so should have it Monday/Tuesday. I recommend Bodykitskingdom, I got my grill off them also and Paul has been great to deal with. I am still having dramas with another grill I bought off a guy in Victoria from eBay, he had a pic of the grill, I questioned if it would fit an Aurion, he assured me it would, when it arrived I opened the Genuine Toyota box, it was a toyota grill alright but not for an Aurion, called toyota and gave them the part no. off the box and they told me it was for a Camry or Ateva and would not fit any Aurion here or OS. I contacted the seller, his excuse?, he just goes on what the dealer tells him. I have returned the grill and he is stalling on the refund which I had to chase him for, claims he has sent a cheque and that I have to return it before he will do a Paypal refund, looks like it's going to go to a dispute, have a gut feeling he will only refund the grill price, not the postage. Checked out his feedback on eBay and he only has 2 negatives and 2 neutral but he responds and tells them off. Responded to 1 buyer who told him to get another courier with - stay home when there is a delivery on its way to you and you wont miss it. Responded to another that said the parts where used and damaged with - rubbish they were new coils still in the original wraping dont come again. I detect his sacasm in his emails to me, would love to name him on here to warn others but worried about legal issues.
