Might be a chance dixie has upgraded his phone in the three years since he had the issue 😉

I have had the same Galaxy S6 for the last five years 🤣

You can buy these pretty cheaply online, they come in bags of 10

would be great if Toyota NZ did the same

Fellow Toyota owners, my ride is a 2014 Presara Aurion v6, have spoken to Toyota about a GPS update, they indicate a cost of $130 installation about an hour. Can anyone share any more information on this subject, is there another way !!!!

Regards

Denis

PERTH WA

A 2014 should be using a SD card based navigation system. I can't see that taking an hour ?? 

needs a regas? 

Cabin air filter might be worth changing too

All three dealerships here in Christchurch use this cleaning product.I have postponed the service until November as these guys are busy and require 7 weeks advance notice for a loan vehicle.

Haven’t enquired about warranty yet but will do so.Will update this thread again with the information later.

Edit: Nevermind, didn't read OP properly

Nice mate. Has to be one of the more unique TRD builds out there.

can I just ask where you got the TRD bonnet guard?

Thanks! Yeah the headlights are the factory HID ones with AFS. I would like to go for the facelift headlights that have the daytime running lamp built into the bottom, but they're $$$$. Vland have just released a new full LED headlight for this model which is very different, but I'm on the fence at the moment.

Couple more pics that for some reason wouldn't work on the previous post:

 

Those tail lights 👌

Honestly I would just take it to an auto sparky

I recently replaced all 6 of my spark plugs with FK20HR11s as well. Car feels like towing a train in the first second or so of initial acceleration. Hasn't made much difference so wondering about the ignition coils. Done 126,000 kms

Not really . I took my car in for service at 3 years old and mentioned that the dash was getting sticky . I was told that It was just me . At 5 years it had begun to turn to chewing gum and still it was just me . At 8 years it was literally starting to run and they had finally admitted that there was a problem . So really there was a ~2yr window where they were offering to rectify the problem before the 10 year limitation . Then they offer a solution but never notify anyone of it , I received all of the recall notices . The only way I found out about it was through these forums . 

I think 10 years is fair but I think the dealers should of notified their customers rather than banking on most customers being unaware especially after denying the problem existed for so long .

Today Tonight Adelaide ran a story on melting dashboards not long ago. TMCA might extend coverage beyond the 10 years?

Also how much did this cost you all up if you don't mind me asking?

Very nice! How much power is she making now?

Thanks GDude. I've had the car for 7yrs and used a dash mat, just to offer protection, not realising what was happening underneath, until I removed to mat.

I understand where you are coming from and have come to the realisation that, if I want anything done, i'm on my own. Therefore I am looking for a quote to replace the dashboard.

I only hope that the replacement is not from old stock, with the same problem. I have thought about offloading the car and upgrading but its too hard and too costly. Still love the car and it has low k's for its age, is i'd prefer to keep it.

Might just need to replace the dash mat.

They don't appear to be from old stock as it doesn't fit as well as the old one. Its also a slightly lighter grey that. But it sure beats a melting dash.

I've already done that, I never intended it as a long term repair and I was going to try and replace the airbox lid at some stage

Need to replace the top half as the stem for one of the vacuum lines has broken off

I've got 2 but they're probably not what you're after as all the clips are broken. New ones are $100 each from Toyota (they are still available)

There is different wiring and all sorts.... its not plug and play

Check the weather seal around the boot opening. Mine was not properly seated on the bumper area, I pushed it back in and I don't seem to have any more water in the wheel well. Not yet anyway. 

Nice. Looks pretty tidy

I'm confused. So its a  ZR6 that you converted to a TRD? Or a factory TRD. 

Did you replace the weather seal around the boot opening? I also get water in my spare wheel well (and condensation on the wheel) but theres no apparent gap its getting in from. Which has me scratching my head a little.

Cut off is indeed 10 years from the date of manufacturing.

My experience was painless, call any dealers and provide them the details of the Aurion and they book it in for inspection then arrange a date for the dash replacement.

If you miss the cut off they will charge you about $1k for the trouble.

My Aurion was also purchased interstate from Sydney where it spend it's next 10 years in Brisbane and had no issues with the 'silent recall'.

Fairly sure it is date of first rego, since as the problem got more widespread they just ask you for VIN so they can see date of first rego, and if you're good you'll get approved for replacement without them asking to look at the dashboard.

Think the motor vehicle was alive in August 2008, I didnt purchase this one until April 2011 but it was from interstate so no luck for me

i would still try. I believe the cutoff is 10 years from date of first registration and 240,000 kms, but unfortunately if it was first registered in August 2008 you are probably SOL since we're now in September. Also don't think it matters  where you purchased. It applies Australia wide. How bad is your dash?

Ahhhhh I wish I came across this thread years ago... RIP in pieces

If your cars a 2008 there might still be time. Get it to a dealer

When was your date of first registration?
