Any locksmith can help you

If you have the key code ( it should be recorded in the owner's manual) you can get a new key made, either from Toyota or any locksmith

The symptoms described are exactly what my Aurion did when the battery died, but testing it before buying a replacement wont hurt in case I'm wrong.

You will lose any presets in your sound system, but thats all.

Did battery replacement caused any other issues? Did you replace it yourself?

I am sort of scared to find my car unusable if I replace the battery myself.

I have no issues doing that myself (was doing full car service to my previous Camry before) but this car if fulfilled with electronics and this is the doubt point for me.

Yes I replaced it myself (I do all my own maintenance) and it is very straightforward. To protect your electronics always disconnect the negative terminal first and reconnect it last

Sounds like a battery problem, test that and check the terminals are clean and tight

back in the day when an electrical appliance momentarily sht it self, if you hit it, it started working again. how come that doesnt work anymore?

It's still worth a try. Maybe you aren't hitting it hard enough :P

The side airbag is in the seat.

There's no need to remove the seat. Just remove the trim each side ( this wont disrurb the airbag), then the deck just lifts up. It might take a firm lift, but it is only held by clips. Removing the headrests makes it easier to get the deck out.

09 onwards Sportivo ZR6 with the satnav option and Presara have an aux input but no there is no way to stream your music easily on a 2007 model unfortunately from an iPod/iPhone, android device.

I bought an FM transmitter which plugs into my phone, just tune into it on the car stereo. Cost me about $20

I recently bought "deploy safe" sheepskin covers for the front seats, cost about $350.

The rubber strap works well. As do sheepskin seat covers

I had a very similar problem when I first bought my Aurion. It drove me nuts trying to figure out what the beep was - til I realised I'd left my phone in the console and It's battery was low. Duhh

No probs, but you may have a few "old farts" tagging along.

Tagging along??

I hope you'll be able to keep up. :P

My speeding ticket collection says not all mature age gents drive slow

When cows laugh, does milk come out of their noses?

Also if cows eat chocolate does that make chocolate milk and if you shake a cow does that make milkshakes?

Yes

Is it safe enough to use the boot jack? I've had a jack failure in the past that almost took my foot off, so I'm scared

Otherwise I'll give it a try.

The other thing is, with the whiteline rear sway being installed on a 05 sportivo, do you need bushings, cos none came with it...

Never get under a car supported only by a jack. Hence the reference to blocks.

Does anyone know what the 2nd screw heard the high beam does? Kept turning it and saw nothing.

I would be guessing the one next to the high beam adjusts the high beam. Because they are set to go distance, you probably need to increase you test distance to start to see what you have done.

I haven't adjusted the Aurion's lights but have adjusted headlights on lots of other cars. Their should only be two adjusting screws, the third one is just a pivot point. Think about the movement needed. For the screws to move the light they need a fixed point to pivot on. Also, I have found it easier to aim high beam. When that is right low beam is right to.

Reasons for buying: I need a respectable looking car for my proffesional image but also wanted power and performance. Te Aurion has all the features I wanted, and is a pleasure to drive. My last car was a 1973 Rover V8 so from my perspective the fuel economy of the Aurion is amazing!!

I have the same problem. Looking forward to learning the solution

The cost of the permit includes compulsory third party cover for the period the permit is valid for. You don't need plates, just the permit stuck on your windscreen.
