Hi All,

I have been wondering about this for a while and wanted to know the purpose of the black metal box in the boot just under the parcel shelf.

I have attached a picture of it for your reference.

Hope someone can answer my question....

Thanks.

I always thought the box was part of the sat-nav system. could be wrong though.

Cheers

If there was a short in the head unit then there will be no sound at all from the unit. The unit works ok.

I say this is normal in this model as it has the GPS unit.

If any one has Peseara and can test this for me, thanks.

With eng on and audio system off there is a hissing noise from all 4 spekers.

Just double checked mine and there is no hiss from the speakers.

Cheers

Hey guys,

Just curious as to what other Presara owners fuel consumption has been?

I've only done about 1500ks but the fuel consumption is fantastic at 8.4L per 100km.

I'm not sure if it will get better or worse but I would have thought that it would get better as

the engine wears in. Anyway, just interested in how everyone else's Presara is performing?

The best I have seen on the trip computer was 6.9l/100. It happened between Armidale and Toowoomba on the Presaras trip home from Windsor Toyota in NSW. (I wish I had taken a picture) I had picked it up the afternoon before, so the car would only have had 800 km on the dial at that point. There are a few big hills on that stretch so I was pretty impressed.

I haven't seen that number since but low 7's appear occasionally and low to mid 8's are common. Mostly highway driving.

All in all I am very pleased with the economy and love my new Presara

Cheers

Thanks jondays & easyride,

Appreciate the images, looks good, I was not keen on the black interior for our climate.

I ordered the Sakana Silver but have not yet seen an Aurion of that colour. I thought Titan SIlver looked good but as it is no longer available I went with Sakana Silver. My favourate colour in the whole Aurion range is Aurora Gold, I do not understand why it is not available on the Presara. I would have thought the top of the range model would be available in any Aurion colour. I sent an email to Toyota on this matter and They did reply but really gave no explanation at all.

How satisfied are you (easyride) with Sakana Silver?

Regards

I like it. I think it's a great colour. Doesn't show the dirt too much. Very happy.

I started like you, with the trim colour that I wanted. It really limits your colour choices, as you know. Black, white and Sakana Silver and thats it. Also like you I was a fan of Titan Silver but now I am glad they changed it.

Anyway, congratulations on your choice. I think the Presara is a great car! I just don't get to drive mine enough.

Cheers

Greetings All,

This is my my first post on this forum.

I live in the remote far west of NSW so it's a long drive to get anywhere.

I have owned Toyotas for the last 23 yrs. A 60 series GXL Cruiser, 80 series GXL TD Cruiser and a 2002 Avalon Sorrento. I have never had a problem with any of them.

Currently my 80 series has 260.000 klm on it, still going strong however I am trading the Avalon in on a Presara, delivery date is in May 08.

My query relatates to the Sandstone Reflex Leather which I have ordered.

I have been right through the Toyota website and they show a 360 degree interior view of a Black interior. The also show small colour patches of the available interior colour schemes, but that doesnt really give much of an idea of what Sandstone really loks like.

I was wondering if anyone with the Sandtone interior would mind posting an image of it.

Thanks in advance

I was in the same situation when I bought mine so I hope this pic helps. What colour car did you order? Mine is Sakana Silver.

Cheers

G'day guys,

I can play mp3’s in my aurion via the cd player, but I can get the cd player to recognise folders. Say for example, last night I dragged and dumped two of my favourite albums (in their respective folders) from my PC on to a CD-R, but when I inserted the disc in the car the display read ‘NO MUSIC’.

Can anyone tell me how to create an mp3 cd with folders so that I can play it in the car & use the folder button to toggle between different folders?

Thanks!

Also, don't forget that the disc has to be "closed" (can't add data later) before the player would find the files.

Cheers

Hey aurion2k8

All my discs have folders and everything works fine. Great in fact. I used the "make an mp3 cd" option in my burning program rather than just make a data cd. The mp3 option seems to include a playlist text file that must make all the difference. Hope that helps.

Cheers

I like the rear lip spoiler. Anyone know where I can get one here in oz??
