on my 2009 model there is an aux socket deep in the armrest console adjacent to the "cigar lighter" socket. Don't know whether there is the same on the earlier model. I just needed a 3.5mm male to male lead. You wont be able to use the system controls though only the Phone/MP3 player controls but could be a temp solution.

I had the HDD in my 2010 Avensis. The nav can only be updated via the dealer at great expense through a special piece of kit and a single use heavily protected usb, Took about an hour.

I have the same thing in my gs and have connected an old Ipod touch to it for music. works from the steering wheel controls just like the cd/dvd player.

not familiar with sc but does it have the security button/switch in the glovebox as other models have?

Agree Herbs second guess sticking relay?

Possibly syphonic action?

Hi Ian Just tried on my phone app and can't log in. I don't usually have any bother so I guess its down.

Richard I also turn off the stop start and run it it normal mode but its still abysmal. The car itself is impressive otherwise but can't stand the DSG box. My son is a Volkswagen Mastertech and says yes they can be unpredictable!!!

I regularly drive a disabled friends 2017 Skoda Superb with DSG and it often scares me at junctions or islands when it initially refuses to go when I press the accelerator then spins the wheels when it does move. You dare not go for a gap that I would in my car as you're not sure if it will move or stay!!!

can anyone remember Twizzle, Fireball XL5, Supercar.

Mine was changed under extended warranty at 65000. they only changed the one and there was no difference in handling. I did query why only one side as i always believed both needed changing as a matter of course, but they were proved right. still feels fine 20000 miles later.

Saw the wheels reserve not met are these still for sale? PM me if you would prefer.

In the first series main character had an SC although i have not watched it. Just a trailer.

I have one and it comes with an OBD connector and battery terminal clamps, and as Ian says it just plugs in which is handy when left at say an airport car park etc.

can confirm they just need drifting off.

I am of the opinion that when you use a permanent seat cover all you are doing is paying premium for your seats and then using non premium to ride in and passing on to next owner brilliant condition seats for them to enjoy as you should have done. However for intermittent use to protect from dirty clothing then fine.

Having driven vans for many years I also think exterior mirror use is fine but do understand your point of view. could you fix the phone to the rear view mirror to come within the law.

gentle braking will be all regenerative so no detriment to mechanical brakes at all.

I bought my extended warranty on purchase of vehicle which extended it to 3yrs then a further 2 yrs after. Had new wing mirror 1 new rear shocker 1 rear caliper 1 water pump 2 boot struts within the whole period. unfortunately a few days after it expired, due to age, a lambda sensor went which cost £500 at an independent. I only wish i was able to renew to renew the warranty. I always treat insurance as a just in case senario and hope never to use it as if I do have to claim it means I'm in trouble and i'd rather not be in trouble. My advice would be to get it and hope you never need it.

Malc I traded it in in July 2010 for a new Avensis which was a nice car but no Camry and definitely no Lexus. Perhaps it is abroad or written off maybe. Paul

My Camry Sport, beautiful car and the best I'd owned til the 450h. I had it for 10 years and relatively trouble free.

On my 2009 GS 450h this action can be set by the owner so can therefore be disabled. If it was activated accidentally and the doors not opened then the doors would automatically re-lock but the windows would remain down. Also test whether it is set up to do this by locking then unlocking with a very long press on the unlock button, that will then give you an indication as to whether there is a fault. This happened to me immediately after locking my car and walking away. A friend had parked next to me shortly after I had left the car and remained with it till I returned and time checks showed it could only have happened as I walked away.

Thanks Lee Not causing an issue yet just a gentle gut feeling that its ready for attention. As I'm just outside Mansfield it will be easy for me to get to Sutton when I do get it checked.
