I don't have an answer to your question, however, I do have 2 headphones (requires new foam for the ear area) and two remote controls from a 2009 Kluger Grande. I don't know if it's compatible with your car, but I'm sure you can look it up. I'd be more than happy to sell the lot to you quite inexpensively if you really want them. Pick up or arrange your own courier. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks for the clarification. Much appreciated.

T15 (W16W) - Wedge Type.

Thanks u54mot.

I'm confused. Is it the T15 or T5 or 921 all the same, or are they different??

^{Does anyone know what type of bulb is used for the back-up lights in a 2003 Camry? Many thanks.}

Do we know if version 18 of the where is has been released yet folks ?

As of today (11 February 2012), version 17 is still the latest available map: http://www.whereismaps.com/buy-map-updates_built-in-car-navigation_product.aspx?view=23&devicedesc=Suitable%20for%20all%20Toyota%20Models&deviceid=252

Congratulations on your purchase, and welcome to Toyota Owner's Club!

The Volvo is much nicer inside the vehicle than the Kluger. It just feels like a quality product, and also drives and handles much better than the Toyota. However, servicing costs of the Volvo are astronomical, and some have had major issues with their transmissions. Users have also reported loud clunks at the front of the vehicle when going over small humps, but the fix for that was relatively simple replacement front subframe rear mountings.

The Kluger has its problems as well, with pre-mid-2008 models having issues with their oil-line rupturing, and recent Toyotas, inluding the Kluger, having clunking in their steering wheel during low speed sterring due to the intermediate shaft in the steering column becoming loose due to the not being enough grease in the joint.

If you're considering the Kluger, may I suggest that you pay more, and get yourself the Grande model. It has a lot more goodies (sat nav, rear DVD player, eletrochromatic rear view mirror, smart entry, push button start, sunroof, automatic headlights, etc) but for me, the biggest revelation has been just how much I use the remote release power tailgate, especially when my hands are full. It's also handy to be able to remain in the vehicle and open the tailgate so that the little ones can retrieve their gear from the back... although I can't remember if the KX-S also has this feature(?)

Is this the Oznest one?

Hmmmm... we normally see this happen in Gen 2 Klugers if the battery goes below a certain voltage, exactly the same with message on trip computer screen. Usually happens when the guys are fitting accessories and leave the radio balring/doors open etc. If by any chance, are you allowing the vehicle to sit for ages with doors open and key on "on" or "acc"?

This is EXACTLY what happened to me yesterday. Even after I trickle charged

the battery overnight, the error remained. I then disconnected the battery for 15 minutes before reconnecting it. Voila! Error resolved.

Anyone recently change their OEM 245/55/19 tyres? Was quoted $440 per tyre for the Bridgestones. Anyone found a better price, and if so, where?

Sorry - kept losing my reply. Will do so on the weekend.

Unlike oil, one should NEVER EVER mix coolants..... ever!

What brand of shock absorbers do people recommend?

And despite being 190+ kW, it will be front-wheel-drive. :o

So cocacola, how DID they fix it?

^^ As Steins said, use some Rain-X. You can get it at K-Mart, Big W, Repco, Super Cheap, AutoBarn..... just about anywhere!!

i know the C Drives have an asymmetrical tread, but is it directional aswell?

The C.Drive is advertised as being grippy and quiet. How do you find them to be, roadnoise-wise?

Looks neat. Alot of IS250 in the design.

What would change for the Australian version? Trims, wheels and colours only ?

Engine and transmission, apparently. Also things like seat warmers, and pollen filter.......

Why sweat it? It's under warranty!

I find my Michellin Vivacy REALLY slippery in the wet. I think I'll change mine to some Goodyears next time around. Probably these ones: http://www.goodyear.com.au/showtyregy2004....e=0000000126063

Sydney as well!

Wait 9 months and get the "NEW" Camry.... :P

That's nasty!! I'm glad that you're okay.

Since his car was towed away, it now make it a negligent driving offence - do you know if he's been charged yet?

Please keep us posted.

BTW, who's your insurance company?

They're due for release around September 2006.
