  1. I think a visit to toyota is probably the best way to get touch up paint. My Aurion came with a small bottle of toyota touch up paint and I bought the car second hand. Obviously the previous owneres knew what it was and left it with the car. As for the key - I'd assume that the matching of the car to the new key would be in the service manuals. I haven't downloaded the whole manual but maybe someone that has would be able to search the manual for it (if it's there) Yep, the service manual does state how to code the car to the keys and remote. However, the procedure can only be done with the Toyota Scan Tool/Intelligent Tester. Unless you know someone who can get their hands on one of those free of charge for you, the only way you can do it it through a service centre. Yeah I had a look at the manual from this forum and it says the scan tool tester is needed for the new keys. I am pretty sure Toyota is gonna charge for that thing anyway....
  2. oh yeah transmission oil checker. sorry about my typo. :P So Aurion has different automatic transmission system? or I just do not need to check the status of the trasmission oil? :P such technical names guys..Its called a transmission oil level dipstick. And yes i couldnt find the dipstick on my ZR6 either, i will hav a better look tomorrow.when the sun? is shining! You will probably find that there is no dipstick to check the AT fluid level. The trend these days is to move towards a sealed system since transmission fluid under normal conditions is not consumed. It is also done that way to prevent the end user from overfilling the transmission oil and potentially stuffing up their gearbox. I believe if you would like to check the level of the transmission oil, you need to remove the overflow plug underneath the engine and stick your finger in if you can and feel if the oil is close to the top of the overflow plug. When the oil is full, it will be level with the top of this plug as when you fill it, you fill till the oil starts to overflow out this plug. Edit: I also forgot to mention. When I got my car, I only got one key and remote with it. I bought a spare remote from eBay for only $26 shipped, but to be on the safe side, I purchased a key from Toyota. The Key cost $100 from the spare parts department, then I had to go get it cut by a locksmith for around $7. Since the only way to code the keys and remote is with the Toyota Scan Tool, I needed to book it in with the service department for them to do that. They have booked me in for next week. Who knows what they are going to charge and they also said it will take 30-45 minutes. I find that a bit of a lie however since after reading the service manual, it is a process that should only take a few minutes. The keys/remotes aren't actually coded to the car. The car is trained to recognise the keys and remote. Either way though, I'll soon find out how much they charge for a few minutes worth of labour which involes turning a key and pressing a few buttons. Edit 2: I should probably have answered all questions in the first place. Anyways, you wont find the compliance plate under the hood. You should find a it (in the form of a sticker) on the front passenger side door sill. The sticker will contain you VIN, engine number, paint code, etc. Thanks for your advice. So I DO NOT need to check the transmission oil unless I feel something wrong with the trasmission, right? If then, when do I have to change the Trasmission oil? Should I change the oil regulary like when it's done 30k? It sounds like it's pretty hard to check and replace it. Also, I am pretty impressed by the key cost because it costs much more than I expected. Please advise me the total price when you get the key's done. I went to Supercheap auto for the paint with the colour code, that I could find it from the front passenger side door sill, and the code was 209 (thanks to DJKOR). But the funny thing here is that they don't have any matched colour in their colour code books. The guy from supercheap auto said that colour might be new because the aurion is new car or the code 209 could be matched with one of the old colour codes but I have to make sure with Toyota first.

  4. Thanks for the info. I didn't know there are alot of remote key on the ebay. But I am just wondering that if I buy the key from ebay, does the immobilizer system work properly? Also, in my experience, if you have automatic transmission, you can check the transmission oil status with the checker(?) under hood. I don't know what it is called but it's pretty same as engin oil checker. However, I couldn't find the transmission oil checker under hood. I've been to garage for engine oil replacement and ask the mechanic guy to find the transmission oil checker but he couldn't find it too. :( Maybe someone could help me to figure out the name of it.
  5. Hi guys. Do you guys have any idea of paint code for black aurion sportivo sx6? My car has got small scratches and I just wanna fix it with touch-up paint at supercheap auto but they ask me the paint code. What is the cod for black aurion sportivo sx6? Also, I wanna purchase the manual and extra set of remote key. Anyone know how much that would be? How can you guys check the transmission oil? I tried to check the transmission oil but I couldn't find the transmission oil tab that I can check under hood. Many thanks.
  6. Hi guys. I am just wondering that where do you guys get the HID kits from? Ebay? or local shops? Also how can u guys take the bumper off? I was trying to take it off and I could take the duct seal off and that's it. I couldn't do any further. How many volts and nuts should I remove? I saw the manual PDF files from this forum and it didn't make much sense on me because there are different kinds of clips and volts used but manual didn't show them all properly. I got my black SX6 and waiting for RTA inspection. Is that ok to install hid kit before inspection or should I just wait till the inspection? I am going for 6500K. Any ideas? HELP!!!! Thanks.
