go fr G isma... but if u wanna mod d vios just go fr E 07... at my place selling 60k+ only n selling fast

anyone know where can get better quality car key for vios? Toyota's one very bad, my key (with remote inside) almost break to few pieces liao after 3-4 yrs of use....

Welcome, added u inside the list

For me i rather pick 195 as wider tyres means better traction while on the road. Also it doesnt cost as much as going for 16-17 inch upgrade.

hi friends here,

I just got a tyt vios year 2005 G spec for 56K yeasterday. so looking forward to join discussion here.

btw, can you all teach me how to set the odometer for my fuel consumptions? thanks.

yes you can upgrade to 195/55 R15... what is the tire u has used b4... give me ur comment... which wan u want??? Comfort or Handling???


wah how u use it??? my 2 keys are still pretty nice woh... don press too hard la...


ok... u got a trip button there... go to Trip A/B press the trip button for long time... that will reset the reading...

I felt my alarm remote control so Suck
Sometime im on there short range it still cannot unlock my car.
I think is that remote control problem Zzz

You should ask for replacement at Cobra TTDI during the warranty period. I already replaced mine this year for free. The newer remote and immobiliser are more sturdy than the old ones albeit looking the same.

Now use nct5, 185 55 R15.

How much aa price for 195 55 15 one??issit too much differ from 185 one?

i prefer comfort tho,not taking any sharp corner at high speed.i drive slow slow

too bad my warranty period over.....4 years already....
When i buy a new key from SC, they give me one without the shape one, means i need to spend money ask others help me to make the key shape. such a stupid.
i don mind to spend some money to get a better quality one.
pls tell me where can i get?

Answer to ur solution
1. If u louder the music n mix v the noise.... u will get mad easily.
2. I think tis is not feasible.
3. I'm comparing apple to apple. New n old vios is very much diff in cabin noise. I'm not compraing to luxury car.

General cars wont give u such a noise as new vios is general known as poor in sound insulation. I went Toyota few times n they just act like they duno. So i ask them for a ride n listen on it. They say it is tyre noise (also so called external noise) penetrate into the cabin n tis model is liddat. So my next qs will be why old vios dun have such a noise. Toyota mechanic just smile n say nothing.

By the way I'm preparing to spend like rm1-2k for sound proofing which can truly reduce the cabin noise to the level same as old vios but not mercedes/lexus/bentley which we know is impossible. Haha!

well u can try out Falken 912 with 195/55 R15... comfort tire... or Yokohama A drive...
Throw NCT5 away... i will not buy that again i swear... very easy to break the tire's traction... skid a lot...

using C drive 195/50/15...seems quite comfy.
U can add Sime tyre to the list that can be thrown away

C drive also good... try 195/55 R15... give you a lil more comfort than 50series...
yea... Sime, GY NCT series, Dunlop D-01, Continental CC-1, BG MY-01 also... all this is good for budget but traction of course will lose out...
Dunlop D-01, Continental CC-1, BG MY-01 still ok for normal driving in dry and slow driving in wet...

U can try those from key shops and it could be cheaper. Reason we all suggest u to go back to toyota SC is to be extra safe, although it might be pricey than outside.

Reason was it is related to electronics and if u change outside there are chances ur alarm will go waywire. U dont want that to happen.

Trust me, for ppl like u, sell ur car.

Sorry for my useless advise but i dont think even spending 10k to sound proofing a vios is worth it.

I use that on my previous ride. Bang for buck semi performance tyres. Grippy at dry but once its on wet, i got a few times my car went split away, so traction while on wet is so so compared to vios stock tyres which is grippy in both wet n dry. I may consider potenza adrendelin when changing my tyres.

Oh... selling my car now will cause a loss of rm15-20k as it is only 1 n half year old vios. But i think dynamat on firewall will be useful but must wait until warranty period over. Actually my case is just like some ppl demand for better tyre which have better grip on dry n wet condition. Some ppl may complaining tat their tyres are not performing as wat they wan. Dun tell me tat the only solution is to sell their car as they may choose the right tyres n my solution will be choosing the right place to sound proof.

My bad, i havent though of tyres as well.

Going for comfort and quiet tyres is also another way to reduce noise. Alot ppl recommend either michelin pp2 and goodyear F1 Asymmetric. Best in comfort, less noisy as grippy as well.

Yes bro... Changed to Michelin PP2 but still noisy. So i think to prepare a budget of rm1-2k to sound proof. If really cant solve the only solution is like wat u said. Sell it. Haha!

Attached thumbnail(s)

u mean the BG tat Dugong having now??? well compare to the NCT5 it really better lo... NCT5 really will activate the ABS a lot of time when u are driving on wet... heavy braking a lil then ABS activated... haha... now Dugong is having BS Turanza am i correct???


if you want really silent tire then Primacy LC is your choice... but please bear in ur mind that ur car's noise insulation is not that good so no matter what also u will hear tire noise... sorry for you... but PP2 really grips well but careful on the corners during wet thats all... the aquaplaning is very good... if you put directional tires then ur tire sound in the cabin will be worst...

thanks bro micheal!

The new vios is now using BB potenza RE030 which is really good for a stock production car.
