Moment of truth, I have an 07 Aurion, have just brought it in to have the dash inspected, will see how it goes.

Not surprised that the rep I spoke to initially quickly mentioned it wasn't a Toyota issue and it will have to be paid for; so had no knowledge about the issue.

Which cable do you have? Is it the GTA Car Kit for Toyota Camry 2007-2011

Question on Aurions with SAT NAV

Just wondering if members can give some feedback on which one of two are better for the Aurion with SAT NAV

1. GTA Car Kit for Toyota Camry 2007-2011

- This has AUX only with no USB

2. Yatour Car Digital Music Changer with USB SD MP3 + Bluetooth (optional) for 2005-2011Toyota and LEXUS series

This comes with USB/SD Card - so very tempting

Will be grateful for feedback from users on the above two

Cheers

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.htmlhttp://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 :)

Hi there

Thank you for all the information - extremely helpful, I was going to purchase the bulbs from the link you gave but then came across what Kombi17 has posted below:

- 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&clk_rvr_id=527333957378

Which seems to be the same brand but OEM standard 4300k rather than the 6000k and less expensive due to this at $160.00

Will try this out and see how it goes.

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 all

This is great stuff you have here. I bought my 07 Aurion Presara (55k ODO) two months ago, it is doing 16-17L/100k according to the readings, use it for roughly 15km per day, inner city driving, very short stop and start due to traffic lights in Cairns. Looking at the figures above some thing is wrong with it.

Have done some search on the forum and found that I need to check the tyre pressure urgently and bring it to 38psi (as opposed to 32, I had to check one of the tyres which seemed to have been low on pressure).

I will take it for 60k servicing soon and will have it checked.

Grateful for the info provided in this forum.

Cheers

Hi All

I have bought a 2007 Aurion Presara and would like to carry out the above mod. Is there anyone in the Cairns area who can do this for a fee and if not could someone advice on the rough fee that should be charged by an auto tech to do this.

Btw this is a great solution, tried the FM converter which sounds hopeless

Cheers
