Might b a simple no brainer but if ya worried bout turbo get a turbo timer

Its on my 'to-do' list lol

iv sused out how to wire a switch in to disable the vcs and traction control if ya keen to no i did so much research and came up with nothing i found someone who sused it wid a gt turbo from that i worked out how to do it to a gt4

Might be something worth doing down the track lol :P

And for the reverse cam, mines not a stock one, its some random aftermarket.

defnetly somthing worth looking at as it will end up sending u nuts if u like sliding ya ***** end round and for the sake of bout $15 and bugger all time its a well worth while mod

Im in new zealand and the only answer i could find is one of two choices go to your toyota dealer and pay a stupid amount for the dvd program to load up new maps or replace head unit which if i remeber right didt cost to much more then the program disk

Havnt done too much to the car lately, My Girlfriend and I are moving out on the 30th and are saving as much as we can.

That said, the car itself is more fuel efficient then my celica was and hasnt missed a beat so far.

A member on Ozcaldina gave me a Climate Control Unit to test out to try and isolate my AC issues which were:

- LCD Flashed for a second and then powered off, plus all the lights constantly on.

First test of the 'New' unit resulted in a blown fuse, (I think this was my fault). Second test, and BAM:

The AC fired up right away and went cold in about 15seconds. I then put the temp up and warm air came out; Unit was working properly!

The front Fascia of my unit was in a lot better condition than the Second Working unit, so I started stripping the two units down to which I realised internally they are completly different:

Behind my fascia was one single circuit board, connected by a single Ribbon cable to the Fascia:

Behind the Second Unit, was myriad of Radio components, and a double-story circuit board:

It appears that the 'top' board is for AC, and the bottom is for a Stock CD stacker radio system. (CD stacker front is ugly IMO).

I started stripping out the LCD Circuit Board (Green Board in the above photo) to realise that both boards are differenty shapes, so we got out the dremel and cut down the new board to fit into my Fascia. The internal Cage in my car that holds all of the seperate systems in place could not fit the New AC/Radio board and I had to resort to cutting and drilling the One that was given to me.

I managed to fit the Radio/AC/Storage Pocket into the Cage (which was never designed for anything more than The CD stacker and the AC. Along with fitting the Double-Din headunit that came with the car.

I got the all fitted into the dash:

And finally, After getting that all sorted in a day, I decided to spend some money and got a new Pioneer Double-Din Headunit so that I could

A) Understand what exactly was happening lol and B) to get bluetooth (And Radio) back into the car.

lol i replaced mine aswell couldt b bothered spending money on a decent 12v rear view camera as the originals a 6v

Try find a recond gearbox
