  1. The SatNav unit in the Aurion cannot retreive phonebook data from the iPhone. Only specific phones work in this scenario. I have an iPhone and it works fine except for the phonebook transfer feature, which this I used an old Nokia N95 for. (had my phonebook on it prior to going an an iPhone) The iPhone does not have this capability hence why it does not work on the SatNav unit. Tofuboi, So is the Iphone able to use the phone book which you had previously loaded to the Satnav? Derek.
  2. This is my 07 Silver Presara with the Lexus Style Grill. Derek.
  3. Please can anyone confirm that if these smart keys have been previously registered to a vehicle then they CAN NOT be reused on another vehicle! Example; One from a Wrecked vehicle being reused. A service adviser at my local Toyota Dealer told me this! He said to be careful of the ones on Ebay.
  4. Hello JIN, Can you please give us a quick rundown on what is required to Remove original Grill to do the replacement. Does the bumper have be removed etc. Thanks Derek.
  5. Hi Freddo, The Lowering of the Mirrors when in reverse only occurs when the Mirror Selector switch ( Used when adjusting the positon of mirrors ) is NOT in the center position. You can leave it in the center position when you do not require the mirrors to lower. Regards Derek.
  6. Hello Aurion ZR6, I just checked the Manuals and it looks like the Connector is "F13" position 5, See Photo below. Where did the "H" connector diagram come from? The reason I need it is because I have a very low Trailer and cant see it in the rear vision mirror. Also I just like to "play with switches" When I do the Modification I'll let you know. Regards Derek. Well, it took a while but I did it, connected a toggle switch to Pin 5 on connector F13 to 12V+ and it works great. The Warning to "check surrounds"is still there but I can not tun on the Reversing Camera any time I wish. All the best Derek.
  7. There's a factory reversing camera? o.O? Is that just for Presara or u can actually install it on ZR6? How much did it cost u btw.. Hi VF-X Camera is standard on Presara and is included in price of car, If you have Factory Sat Nav option, I guess it should work. Maybe someone that has the Factory Sat nav Option can tell us what is Displayed on the Nav screen when they put their car in Reverse? Does the Screen change and a warning appear at botton of screen? Derek.

  9. Hello All, I have a 2007 Presara fitted standard with factory reversing camera, My Question is: Has anyone worked out a way to activate the Reversing camera without putting the car into reverse? I'm hoping its just a matter of installing a toggle switch to override it. Preferably without the reversing lights coming on. Thanks Derek.
  10. Hi Quark, One day I left my ignition on in the car ( not use to the press button then ) and about an hour later I get a phone call on my moble phone from a Toyota link operator to tell me that the battery in my car is getting low. Hows that!!!!!!!!!!! I love it. Derek.
  11. Hello All, I thought I would share this you all, I have a 6 Month old Presara that has done only 5900K, nearly all city driving. I have noticed that bugs are being caught in the radiator fins and causing the alloy to be discoloured, as well as their bodies blocking the radiator fins. See Photo A, Note: I removed the bugs with a water hose before this photo was taken So in an attempt to reduce this I have fitted a Aluminum insect Screen in front of the radiator, the screen is secured at the top and bottom via an alloy rail screwed to the bottom brace and the top radiator mounts. See Photo B This View is Front of radiator with screen fitted. I think if you are doing a lot of country traveling a Bug Screen fitted to the Aurion will be worth while in the long term. Derek.
  12. No Oil Change Sorry, My was NOT washed or Vacuumed, but I did get a FREE Coffee and Biscuit while waiting for the courtesy bus. Derek.
  13. OK There is a trick too it. After much experimenting. To TURN OFF TRACTION CONTROL The Procedure below MUST be completed quickly, less than 30 Secs from my testing. 1. Make sure the car is in Park and the parking brake is disengaged before you start the car. 2. Start the engine. 3. Engage the parking brake. 4. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release. 5. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release. 6. Disengage the parking brake. 7. Fully depress and hold down the brake pedal. 8. Engage the parking brake, then disengage it (while holding down the brake pedal). 9. Engage the parking brake, then disengage it (while holding down the brake pedal). 10. Release the brake pedal. 11. Engage the parking brake. 12. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release. 13. Fully depress the brake pedal and then release. Good Luck & Drive Safely Derek

Mash, This is strange, The instuctions above are correct as far as I know, ( It did work last weekend for me ) But now I'm having trouble getting it to work, I suspect it's a timing issue. ( or I'm not holding my mouth in the correct position ) I'll see if I can work it out and let you know. Derek.
  15. Hello MASH, Ive now been able to turn off the TRC via the procedure I detailed above, ( With car in Park ) But I was unable to turn it off via your procedure while in drive, I must be doing something wrong. Maybe the foot brake needs to be held on when doing the two park brake operations , If so, that wasnt in your description. Derek.
