... a quick press of the MODE button switches between hours and minutes.

Many thanks,

Happy New Year.

Maybe someone from this site would be generous or patient enough to scan the manual (all 10,000,000 pages of it) as a PDF and post it on here.... unless there's a copyright issue involved.

I don't see how there would be though because the manual is only useful to people who actually OWN an aurion........

Cheers, BB

From my understanding, Toyota must create pdf files before go to the printing house. They just simply upload to their support site for people can look at. Many companies now use this facility to save papers. By the way, could someone please tell me how can I set the clock (it is 1 hr behind). I can't find the manual of my Presara and can't find any option on the Menu which helps me to set the correct time on the clock.

It does reduce your insurance premiums, just remember to tell your insurance company that you have vehicle tracking.

Thanks, already paid in bulk thru broker up to 31/12/2011. Will pay by myself from 1/1/2012.

BH

Sorry, searching for "Toyota Links" but could not find any. After 3 years free, now getting a letter saying to keep this I have to pay $240/year. Is it expensive, reasonable or dirt cheap ?

BH

This happened to me once. Parking sensors didn't work and I serviced it to Toyota. LOL!

Sorry, am I missing something ? what do they do ?

Updated: Well, looking at the subject talking about HID, my head was thinking about lights, lights, lights ...

How much would I realistically expect to pay for one? I went to Kyneton Toyota and was quoted $900 to supply spray and fit one.....

I paid $750 for it to fit onto my Presara 3 years back

BH

...

That is correct. Insert the tip of the key which you just removed from there into that slot (it's a perfect fit) then twist the key and it will pop it open.

Thanks. It took me a while to workout how to undo three small clips which hold the battery; at the end: perfect. Many thanks again,

BH

I took my car to a dealer/worhshop yesterday. They could not find the problem, only few errors here and there including error for sun/moon roof. They told me they need more time next time, if happening again.

BH

This morning, I went shopping and realized the red air bags light ON. I stopped my car, switched it off and start again, the red light went off. But after traveling for another 500m or so, my internal phone rang and a lady from Toyota Link told me my car called home, I need to bring it to a dealer to check the air bags. I've got no car few days perhaps.

BH

The battery model # "CR 2032" 3 volt is replacable, you will notice a small slot near the keyring open it up and the unit pops out. you should be able to get these batteries at any battery supplier.

Hi,

Before doing any damage, please confirm: is it the small slot next to the big key hole in this image ?

Regards,

BH

....

You could get them replaced at Toyota for about $23 or you could go to Jaycar and replace them for $3.95. (this has been posted in another topic somewhere)

The battery is CR1632.

Hi,

Thanks for the info - It looks like Jaycar is the way to go. I can not find the old thread which you mentioned above. I can open and shut a mainframe but don't know replacing a battery of a car key may lost the code or not.

BH

Last night when turning off the engine, my Presara told me the battery for my key is too low. The car is nearly 3 yrs old and my other Toyota (Vienta Grande) is nearly 11 yrs old but the keys from the other car are still ok. I even use the keys of the Presara very little interms of pressing them.

My qutestion: how long the batteries inside the keys of the Presara normally last ?

BH

... Set the air con to auto for the trip at 22 C and wasn't too long before the fan speed and temp inside the car had reduced significantly. ....

Car was outside in the sun all day in 37 C with sheild inside front windscreen and rear sheild up, still it was uncomfortable to get into. Maybe not letting the sun shine directly onto everything inside and heating them up is the secret. ..

1. Same as mine, I normally setup 23 C (driver's side).

2. One thing I've noticed: the car is much hotter than my Vienta Grande after same duration under ther sun. Both cars are same color outside but the Vienta is not black inside. The steering wheel of the Presarra is much hotter.

BH

Well the RAV4 V6 cars have same problem, probably same engines.

...How old is your Son. Has he driven your car? Is there any way he could have pressed the call button on the Toyota Link system hence why they were calling back for him?

My son does not live with us and he has never used my car or my wife's car. Well, as you mentioned, could be similar wrong call. She told me the number but I could not write down when traveling at 100km/h. My wife can only remember the last 3 digits.

BH

Today, Saturday 5-Dec-2009 at around 13:00 my car speaker (yes car, not phone) rang when I was leaving Sale for Melbourne. After 3 tones, a lady say "hello A..." (not my name but my son's name). I did not press anything and "Hello" back. The lady wanted to speak with A... I said I'm his father and asked her which number she is calling, she told me a very strange number. I said "Probably you call a wrong number", she said "Sorry, Bye".

The story: my phone has not paired with my car and how on earth she called a very strange number and my car picked it up - no other car around, I was running at around 100km/h . My car is a Presara and my phone is a Nokia E71.

Hi guys, I've just booked my '07'Aurion prodigy into our local Toyota dealership in Newcastle, NSW and have been quoted $630 for this service. Could anyone tell me if this would be on par ????

My Presara 60,000km is coming up with a quote $243 (online boking). I don't know how they work this out because the standard maintenence is $160 or very close to that. Anyway, still cheap, I paid $1,600 service lask week for my other car as mentiond in this:

Very happy with the car for more than 2 years now. One thing I have not work out therefore just say useless: auto headlight, put it on auto and running under some very short overpasses, the light is on and off immediately just 10 to 30 seconds. Could be a delay setup elsewhere.

BH

Me ? banhien actually should be written as Bạn Hiền which means good/nice friend. Hope I am.

....Some companies in particular will change to another manufacturer for the hell of it every three years when the fleet is up for renewal (talking 5-20 thousand systems here, not just one or two :P). Have also seen some instances where the company will switch back to their old supplier within 12 months of the initial change when delivery and service once again doesn't meet SLA's and expectations. ....

Totally agreed - Can't say HP or Dell or .... laptops are bad because just one unit or two.

Just let everyone know: Toyotalink does not work at the Telstra Tower car park in Canberra. On 1/7/2009, I took a short visit to the tower, it turned out to be a very long visit: I could not open the car, had to use the key to open it but could not start the car, only getting "Key not detected" message. I pressed Toyotalink button few times but no reply. At the end I had to call FleetPartners and they sent a NRMA guy up to help.

Many thanks to the guy (sorry I did not ask his name). He told me: signals from the tower have interfered with the system, we need to put the transposer very close to the start button to start the car. For the record: I could not lock my BMW another day (same car park) using the remote control (and did not know this signal business).

BH

...What do you guys and gals think? Would you pay the $240 per year to extend the Toyota Link subscription?

Due to small reason, I'm paying RACV $76 per year - after the free period, I may pay RACV a bit more to get more such as "Total care" or "Extra Care".
