hi Malla .

How are you?

I was so busy recently. Today im going to order the gta kit, but i just realisedon my navigation unit, it doesnt have to aux button, so how do I turn it to auxiliary mod when the gta kit been installed. Im wondering about that.

Hi mate,

Good thanks, yourself?

Super easy, so basically once it is plugged in it will work under the cd function. At the moment you will have FM, AM, CD, etc. Basically once the device is plugged in it will create a second CD mode a function under 'CD changer'. Basically adds a second CD changer to your previous CD changer but instead of different CD's it will be playlists, but I don't use that I just select which songs I want on my phone. So now you will have FM, AM, CD changer 1 (normal CD's) and CD changer 2 (you access this by clicking CD twice, and this will be your Aux/usb in) and to switch back to FM or something you just push FM for example. Hopefully you will see this in the video below. In the picture is just the iPhone dock connector and the auxiliary with a lightning adapter because it's an iPhone 7.

Awesome. So I just plug the existing one out and put the gta in. But still confusing the existing one for what fucntion though 😐. It would be great if the gta kit come with the Y cable 🙁

Exactly, super easy trust me.

Haha I think you should go to the link I sent you and read up on it abit, when you select the sat nav version for the gta kit it comes with a splitter Y cable.

Let me know if you have any more questions :)

Awesom. Actually I pulled it out today to check and took photo. But so disappointed because all the ports was plugged buy the sockets and thought that my aurion doesn't have aux 🙁.

 So as you said I'll  just need to order gta kit and remove the one same as on gta kit and plug it in yeah? But still quite confuse the one would be remove for which function of the car 😐. Does anyone know?

 

 

 

 

Just check the post I just put up in case you didn't get to see it,

It is the white port on the right with the yellow, orange and pink cable you will remove and replace with the plug from the gta kit :)

Hi Mallabullaergo and everyone for help.

Its so amazing because that I didn't expected you guys will get me back so quick.

And yeah Mallabullaergo, it would be great if you so me some photos at the back of your head unit and which port when you can. Because I'm so confusing that my unit at the back all the ports is plugged in. So that why I'm thinking about even if I have a kit how can I plug in or which one I need to remove to plug the new one in. 

Have a good weekend everyone 😀

 

 

 

 

 

Actually ignore me,

I think you have the sat nav version, in that case you will have to replace one of your existing plugs. The white plug on the right with the yellow, orange and pink cable (in your picture) would be the one you will remove and replace with the plug from the gta kit, just make sure you order the one for the sat nav unit as the standard unit requires a smaller plug that goes into an unoccupied port.

Hope this helps haha sorry for the confusion

Yeah sorry I probably didn't explain that well, the blue plug on the gta kit actually replaces one of the occupied ports on your receiver, so one of them you pull out and plug the gta kit in, it won't affect any operations as far as I am concerned/experieced.

The video in that link I sent you should show you which plug to pull out of the receiver and to replace with the plug from the gta kit. The video they have is actually on a camry model, which is the same unit as the aurion unless you have the sat nav unit, but there will be an appropriate port still.

At the end of the day, if you bought one of these it won't take long to work out which plug has to come out for the plug on the gta kit! :)

If you don't have any luck finding out which on it is on their video let me know and I'll take some photos tomorrow :)

That is quite expensive, especially with the current exchange rate.

I suppose it is, I'm certainly not experienced enough to make a modification myself and these guys had a really good reputation at the time when I was looking at them, but anyway, each to their own :)

Hi everyone. 

How are you guys going?

Look like this thread been for awhile without any update. 

Can anyone recommend which cable should I get on eBay or somewhere to fit into my aurion zr6 2007 sat nav. As on those photos you can see that all my ports been plugged  so is there anyway to get something to plug in or ?

Really dead from this head unit 😐

 

 

Hey Mike,

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I myself have used a simple plug and play option.

I found these about 3 years ago as I was using an FM transmitter for my music and it was terrible.

Anyway stumbled upon these car kits, there is one for the Camry which has the same ports on the back of the receiver, on the site you can select if you have the standard head unit or the sat nav version. Mine is the presara model so I selected the sat nav version but without the bluetooth, as I wanted to use the bluetooth connectivity for the phone already in my car.

It really is simple to install, there is a plus that goes into an existing port in the back of the receiver (there are guides to show which one it is, sorry I can't remember so long ago now!) Then I just ran the aux and USB cables up through the little hole where the center console closing mechanism is, looks neat enough for me :) So basically for it to enable the aux or USB mode it uses the 'cd changer' function, so basically if you are on FM for example and you want to put your Aux cable on you push the CD button (once for actual cd's) and then again (enables CD changer 2) which turns on the GTA car kit for aux or USB. That's it, the volume controls on the steering wheel still work. The only thing that doesn't is if I have the USB part connected to my iPhone (using a lightning cable adapter for the newer iPhone ports) the skip buttons on the steering wheel don't work, but the ones on the receiver do.

Here is a link to the device I used:

http://www.gtacarkits.com/product/toyota-camry-2007-2011-iphone-aux-kit/

Not sure if this is what you are wanting but thought I would share my thoughts and experience, might be relevant to someone.

If you are interested and want to know more about it feel free to contact me, I'd be happy to pull out the receiver I have it installed on and show you which port and stuff :)

Aw actually, I also installed one for a mate, he has a Sportivo (not sure which Sportivo sorry) and he wanted an aux function and I talked him into getting one and I put it in for him. So I know that one works too!

Hope this helps,

Well I pulled the left headlight out today for closer inspection. Found that it has four adjusters (2 for high ,2 for low). They do not seem to be linked in any way and I was able to observe movement from all except the low beam left and right. It turns out that the ball and socket had come apart, so after much frustration I was able to get everything back together.

I am now able to adjust my HID high beam independently of the low beam for the perfect spread of light

So did anyone ever work out how to adjust the low beam headlight on the presara model? Because those adjustment screws in the pictures above are not there, the holes are, but there is no screw?

Can we have pictures of the 6000k bulbs, I really want to get them now but still can't justify the cost.[/quote

Here you go, they appear more yellow than what they are too, and the justifying the costs of these is fairly easy considering they are $350 a pair and Toyota charge almost $400 PER bulb?

Here are some links:

This first link is a parts 'search engine' type website that will provide all part numbers for most

cars, I've selected a 2008 toyota aurion presara for this example, and were it says BULB, DISCHARGE LAMP there are two different ones, the first is the 2007-2008 model and the second is 2008-2009 (So Im guessing toyota may have changed the bulb or brand??) anyway if you google this part number it'll provide the bulbs that toyota use in the shop, which comes to the second link:

http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_G_2008_TOYOTA_AURION_GSV40R-JETGKQ_8101.html

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/90981-20013-90981-20024-HID-Xenon-TOYOTA-Wish-Reiz-Camry-Previa-Land-Cruiser-BULB-HID/658230962.html

It seems the reviews show that people are very happy with the bulbs in the second link haha so I guess they must be the genuine toyota ones :) (Not sure why they're like $10 hahaha)

Hope this helps anyway :)

$350 I found as a really good price for a new set of genuine Phillips, considering there are sooo many counterfeits on the market,

Personally, I was worried about buying a set of 6000k as so many people have complained that they are crap for visibility at night and/or rain, (sometimes the 'fake' bulbs are no where as bright as the genuine bulbs) but when I installed them I was shocked by how bright they actually are.

In terms of the brand NARVA, they are really a comparable company, meaning they're both derived from Germany, top quality products and I'm sure if you choose either one you'll be completely happy with them :)

Hahaha good thread guys!

Try these, they are expensive compared to the cheap ones for $5 or $10 but they are very good quality :) Hope this helps :)

H11 is the LOW beam on other Aurions

HB3 is the High I believe but could be wrong :)

This could be the case for other models, but for the Presara H11 is high beam and fog lights, D4S for low beam (HIDs) and T10's for parkers and number plate lights :)

In Western Australia, we have a company named Repco. They purchased them from a Melbourne based company named NARVA. Part No. 49307 refers. They cost me $240.00 each including freight.

I have been advised that this company supplies to Toyota (hearsay) and a mate of mine who works for Toyota states that a lot of mechanics use these offsite (for private work).

The most important thing is to use the 12/24V D4S 35W for the Presara. The D4S is the only one.

To replace it is not all that easy, see my photo attachments.

I have also checked on eBay and the prices are much cheaper. Do NOT use el cheapo brands.... you always get what you pay for.

abacab

This is correct, do not buy h11 which a lot of people say, h11 is only the high beams and fog lights :)

If you are going to replace them yourself do so very carefully, I found it an easy job but time consuming, something good for a weekend :)

Hi Mallabullaergo/Abacab

Are you able to advice where you bought the bulbs from - I have the same issue with my 2007 Presara and need to buy the bulbs to give it to the car dealer to replace. Toyotas quote is $480.00 each for the bulbs.

Thanks

Hi, this problem I had was a while ago and turned out that there were broken fragments of glass in the projector housing (where the bulbs sit in) so I removed the entire light assembly, cleaned it out and bought a set of these:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/121111786203?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

They are genuine (been confirmed with phillips) D4S HID Bulbs and are 6000K in colour, which look great and in my opinion I'm very happy with visibility at night, they are basically white but from a distance they're like a deep blue colour (Like the bmw look), the guy who I bought these of has a store in Melbourne and Im sure he'll be happy to answer any questions you have, he also has them available in 4300K (Standard HID colour) :)

Plus, try and avoid the $80 bulbs that you can buy on eBay, I bought a fake pair of 8000k philips and they worked fine for bout 3 months but than they blew haha

hope this helps :)

Hey Ya'll

Not a big deal but I've had some recent PM's in regards to how i lay'd out my cables to connect the iPod so i thought i'd show my Cable Lay-Out for reference.

Hey man, was just wondering about where you connect this on the back of the head unit?

and also, does it affect any of the following?

* The rear camera.

* The factory hands free bluetooth for phone calls.

* Using fm or cd's and whatever

Just want to know how well it works in the presara model like yours? I dont want too lose the bluetooth connectivity?

Thanks,

can you take a picture and show us?

sorry picture doesn't show it that well, this is just one area it's stripped

Hi, today I was cleaning out the headlights which I've wanted to do for ages and noticed that the chrome on the inside near the light has stripped away exposing a yellow like colour, not sure if I should just leave it,

Should I try chrome paint or something?

Does anyone have one of these reflector housing I could buy?

Cheers,

It was gonna do it to blacken mine.

I bought a cheap heat gun from bunnings for $20

the glue that holds it together is called butyl.... it needs to be heated to soften it enough to pull apart.

check youtube theres a gazillion vids on how to do this.

Aw okay, so in your opinion do you reckon a hairdryer might do the trick?

Yer they do work but its a slow process .... if you have to use a hair drying look into using the cardboard box method.

Thanks for the replies, $20 is really good actually might just go and pick one up :) Thanks everyone :)

Hi all,

I was wondering on how to remove the cover of the headlight assembly, there're alot of water marks and stuff on the inside of the assembly I want to clean?

When I removed the assembly there appears to be screws holding the plastic cover to the assembly but when there're removed it still won't unclip, are they glued into place or something??

Cheers,

Hi again everyone, I received those bulbs yesterday and installed them. I couldn't be more happier with the results, there is such good visibility I barley need high beams,

They appear to be a yellow/white colour when driving but looking upon the car from the outside of about 10+ metres away they are a pure white with a hint of blue,

Here is a picture I took of only the low beams on,

Hi,

I'm purchasing a pair of Xenon Hid bulbs for my 2007 aurion presara but I've heard there are heaps of fake phillip bulbs on the market, Toyota want $490 for each bulb which I find very expensive, I found this eBay seller who claims his are genuine, they are $350 for a pair

Does anyone believe these may be fakes??

Here is the link

Dude there was very helpful for me.

Cheaper than that and still real....

Hope it helps

i wouldn't buy it from eBay .99 % are FAKE

Hi,

I have the same make, model and year car and had the same issue a couple of years ago. I also got stung by buying fake globes off ebay the first time and it's not a mistake you'd want to make too often as changing the globes are a pain in the a..e.

I eventually got my globes from here: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PHILIPS-D4S-X-2-BULBS-42402-C1-42V-35W-P32D-5-OE-FIT-ORIGINAL-XENON-HID-LAMP-DOT-/130577158276?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e67015084

They have not failed me for 2 years. I've also posted/contributed to a fews posts on changing these globes....Good luck and may patience be on your side.

I actually just purchased from this guy, they all seem to be the real deal and has a shop too if you look at his other listings.

I've been in contact with him past few days asking questions about lighting for the aurion. So far I've changed my head lights to Phillips ultra vision and purchased LED parkers from him. Still waiting on parkers to arrive though.

Only posted just yesterday.

Thanks everyone for your opinions on this matter, it's shocking how many fakes are out there, I've heard that Phillips aren't all that bothered to pursue the problem.

Silver-Aurion, great to hear that someone on here has had dealings with this seller, I looked at his page on facebook and looks like he has a great store, many people seem to be more than pleased with his products and service,

so I decided to purchase them, I'll post on here after Iv'e installed them to let everyone know if they are any good :)

Also, I found out that apparently genuine Phillip D4S 6000K HIDs will have a red-like salt inside the glass and a pearl-blue rod on the outside whereas many fakes will have a white-ish salt inside and a flat blue or even a grey rod on the outside (This is only regarding 6000K bulb as far as Im aware), I hope this helps anyone looking into new 6000K HIDs :)
