Thankyou leolam, perfect!

If only, I am based in Adelaide. Keen to find someone who knows how to pull these cars apart.

Oh, it's called a relay, not a solenoid. Asking for a solenoid in an electronics shop may grant you some very strange looking faces.

Hi Peeps, Does anyone know how to remove front door cards on the 50 series Aurions? I can see plenty on the 40 series but nothing on the 50's. Cheers.

Well don't read it then stupid.

Becuase i am a paid Silver Member and still like to help out where i can. I didn't think it was illegal to be here and owning another brand eh?

Yep, thats why i got rid of mine. Very poorly built cars (the Aurion). Would i buy another Toyota? I doubt it.

Good luck! I am led to beleive there is still no proper fix for the issue. I understand some owners have had some luck but no doubt it will be back soon enough. It's just a horrible design that's the cause.

I bought a Honda Accord Euro Luxury with Sat Navigation. There isn't a single rattle in this car at all and there is no guess how well this one is put together not to mention the quality materials in it. But Kudo's to Toyota Australia for finally ending my 10month nightmare. Details on exactley what transpired at the end are confidential but lets just say i am a happy man, finally.

A good place for the antenna is inside the dash behind the clock on top of one of the A/C vents. The no GPS error sounds like the unit isn't set up correctly. Try to enter the GPS setup within the program and make sure that COM port 2 is selected. Also a baud rate of 4800.

Nice work!

Blue and Chrome = sex!

Moonroof added. I am surprised with the amount of owners with rattling problems in their cars. Toyota have really let down their customers in this department. Gone are the days of legendary Toyota build quality!

i am using these files and doing something now, when its all done and working, i will post something.. hope they are the same as aurion.. Know where one can download the Aurion manuals?

Out of interest, those with ZR's or leather seats, what are these like (maintenance, comfort, ageing etc).

I dont think the dash problems are a build issue but rather a design one. It happening to some Lexus models too so it seems to be some common design problem with them.

Anyone here with a 2008 built Aurion with these problems?

I went to another Ford dealership today and gees, the paint on the new Falcons is terrible. I was shocked how dull they really are. I also went and looked at VE Commodore's and like the SS but i would be worried about the quality of these cars too. The new Accord and Accord Euro are very high quality but think they look like ladies cars. It's bloody hard. At the moment i am caught between a rock and a hard place.

Guys, Toyota contacted me today offering to replace my car (finally) or they will repay the purchase price to me but upon more googling i am finding more and more complaints on the typical dash pad rattle (creaking) and would like to get an idea on how far spread out this problem is. I'd like to also find out if the 2008 built Aurion's still have rattles in the Dash Pads and Centre Consoles. Your comments much appreciated.

Whats that CD your listening to in the YouTube video?

The build quality of the Aurion is nothing special at all. I would go as far to say that it's typically Australian built and no more better then a Commodore or Falcon. That said the only part of an Aurion i praise is the drivetrain. Ford though has turned a new leaf and pressing the panels now in one piece so all the panels should line up perfectley. There has been a huge boost in quality control at the Broadmeadows plant also, something Toyota know nothing about. Whilst i may be biased due to having so many problems with my Aurion i don't think there is any competition between the TRD and G6E with the G6ET being a much better car all round. It has buckets of torque, better suspension, better handling, better steering, better build quality and has the tick of approval from pretty well all of the motoring magazines. Pumping 240Kw from a FWD car is just stupidity at it's best. It's a G6ET for me without any hesitation. In fact i am heading to a dealer to look again at the new Ford range this afternoon.

Has anyone got the stock 4 speakers from the Aurion they want to sell me? The 4 i had ended up in the bin after being mutilated... I am putting the car back to stock in preperation to get rid of the heap of unfixable crap. And no, the next car (or ever for that matter) will be another piece of s-h-i-t Toyota.

I think the correct term is called "axle tramp". I am surprised i haven't experienced this yet as i have almost everything else bad with the Aurion and it's a long list.

Tom Tom can't be run on these units as it requires Windows CE 5.0. The head unit runs Windows CE 4.2 i am led to beleive. That said i think IGO8 looks better then Tom Tom and runs on the head units but each to their own.
