  1. Might pay to tell us where you are and perhaps a member can help you, otherwise it will be like writing a novel.
  2. It looks like it forms part of an already existing JBL system (maybe AMP?). Looks too risky to me.
  3. Out of curiosity, what tyre pressure are you running?
  4. no idea but if i get the factory sat nav for the aurion zr6 im going to take it to a place to see if they can do something to it to play dvds. lol if they say for 200-250 well do it. im willing to give them that much. would be awesome to watch music clips when driving or watching dvds on road trips. goto www.burgdesign.com.au they sell them there. IMO these are rubbish, most likely using a older gen LCD screen (viewable from dead on only), and most likely cannot be updated. I would rather spend around 2k and get a aftermarket head unit and get a car interior design business to blend it into the console a bit more. In regards to factory, Remember your will probably void your warranty on that unit when tampering with it. Also there is some legality around driving and watching videos. Most aftermarket units like the Kenwood I have, your *off the shelf install* only allows you to watch the videos while the *parking break is engaged*, theres ways around it but if possibly a cop passes next to you and sees it on he may book you. Are you saying those aftermarket units from burgdesign.com.au are ****house?
  5. Anyone know where to purchase one of these Sat Nav aftermarket units (apart from eBay)?
  6. I think you will be pushing it to fit the Boston's in. You will need to make pods but at that depth the speaker will probably lean on the parcel shelf and may prevent it being reinstalled properly. The MB Quartz have huge magnets on them and this is why i didn't opt for these. Why not stick some 6.5" Splits up front (replace the factory tweeter) and something slimmer at the rear. There isn't a lot of room in the back.
  7. I thought i would pop up some pictures of how mine worked out.. (Thanks to my brother Duane for helping me fabricate the pods) Front Pod & Baffle Front Pod & Baffle Mounted Front Pod & Baffle with Speaker Mounted Rear Pods with Speaker Mounted
  8. The Auto Level setting finally came back. I guess this happens after you put it in drive or something. I haven't disconnected the front tweets yet as i want the front soundstage and for that they need to be up high. What i did do is disconnect the middle driver (midrange?) in the front Eclipses as these were making the most amount of annoying frequencies. I might swap the dash tweeters for silk dome units or attenuate them a little. I do need to fade out the rears too as they are way too bright. It's a shame really as i though those Eclipse speakers were the bee's knees.
  9. We have made high quality pods and sealed them real well. Today i put some stinger roadkill on the front doors and toned down the front speakers and they are way too bright (Eclipse 4 ways). I also installed the rears (Ecplise 4ways) today and overall it does sound better but i think am amp would be a better option to work with this upgrade. Have you noticed the Auto Level setting missing from your menu now after changing all the speakers?
  10. Hey DKzr6, I have today installed the Eclipse 4 ways in the front (rears on the weekend) and i am not impressed at all with the sound. We build custom pods and baffles and they turned out excellent (pics to follow) however i noticed there is a huge lack of bass response up front now. Did you end up putting sound deadening to your doors to help seal and reduce noise? Greg
  11. Funny you say that.. My car goes back again for the 13th time (and the 3rd dealer) to get all these dash and console problems sorted. They have it booked in from Tuesday morning to Friday night. Strangley i found out that the car i have was detailed and then transferred to Jarvis from the dealer i am taking it to on Tuesday. It seems it was these guys who did not pre-deliver the car properly when it apparantly was their responsibility and Jarvis did not seem to care either (typical Adelaide car dealers). I will let you know on Friday what happens but i'm not holding my breath. If it's not fixed i will be getting rid of it - period. Toyota and Jarvis can shove it up their *****. Well i got it back and dash had been removed for the 2nd time (or has it been 3 times?). The rattles around the dash seem better but are still there. I am starting to wonder if there is a problem with the front window seal. I'm on a hatrick... First person to have 20 warranty claims within 1yr wins 100 bucks! I reckon the money will remain in my pocket.
  12. If your going to keep your car for more then 3yrs i would grab the extended warranty without a doubt. With all the problems with these cars you'll likely need it!
  13. No oil change for me but i just had it done at 7000kms when my car was back at the dealer for the 13th time for warranty stuff.

  15. Interesting and noted. Will have to investigate further.
  16. I did indeed and it was fault free We are talking maybe $500.00 compared to $40,000, it's not comparing apples with apples. As i have said previously, if Toyota Australia or Jarvis Toyota did the right thing and exchanged the car when rightfully requested i wouldnt be here bagging out the halfwits.
  17. You are simply a tool. WTF do you think i did? According to your wisdom you buy a BRAND NEW car, look at it or don't even drive it, look into the crystal ball to see if it has rattles, squeaks and mechanical problems and reject it there and then. I want me one of those crystal balls you have please. As i and others have said, the car has been returned some 13 times now and each time i have told them to fix it to "perfection" but the dealers cannot seem to be able to fix it. Next you say, throw the keys down in front of them.... Nice one, they already have my money and my car, needless to say i will need to walk home. Perhaps next time i buy a car i will come over to you and bring you with me so you can share some of your wisdom and i'll borrow your crystal ball.
  18. You are a smart****. If you don't like what i'm posting simply ***** elsewhere. No-one is forcing you to read them so unless you have something constructive to post (i doubt your smart enough) then ***** and annoy someone else with your small mindset.
  19. You must be blind or outright stupid. Read all my posts here and my blog. I drove out the driveway and took it straight back and Jarvis refused to accept the car is a lemon! I am still trying to get the car replaced after 3 months. Next time please read with your eyes, not your **** ring.
  20. The Aurion's tiptronic transmission is great in Auto but crap in Sports Mode. Mine always defaults to 4th gear and it even changes gears like an auto up to 4th. In the Mitsubishi, it takes off from either 1st or 2nd but stays in that gear until you move it (as it should). Why on earth did the deadbeat engineers are (Toy)ota design the transmission so it still acts as an auto even in Sports mode? The Aurion is a nice looking car but it's engineering and build qulaity is just pure crap. Spend your money on something else, you will be glad you did. In terms of the salesman, he is dodgy like most of the others. The dealers have targets to meet as set by Toyota and will bullcrap to the heavens to make a sale by the end of each month. If you really must buy one do it at the beggining of the next month, they don't deserve any bonus's for meeting (Toy)ota's sales targets.
  21. Join the club! Aurion's are poorly built cars - period. Rattles and squeaks? Welcome to the Aurion!
  22. Good old Toyota quality cars huh? Perhaps it explains why Toy(ota) only provide 3yrs warranty with their **** products. Get with the times!
  23. Quite funny, i read on the bottom of their Web Site : "The Jarvis philosophy on running a successful business doesn’t stop with providing great service to new and used car customers." They better remove this quickly or i will instruct my solictor to look at False Advertising here as well!
