I just love the high note sound that is produced by tweeters. If you are not satisfied with the sound setup and quality, then consider upgrade the player and speakers. Even my Pioneer CD Player+Pioneer speaker can beat the OEM sound system of the Toyota.

Hello..
New here and I just want to know Vios is using Timing belt or timing chain? Just bought a 2nd hand Vios and it got some noise, belting kind of noise under the hood. Worried tho because it is a 2nd car.
Added on April 19, 2011, 1:16 pmOh, btw, its a 2005 Toyota Vios E

Yea you're right I'm not satisfied with it at all.. the quality is poor and it doesn't even feel like it surrounds... I don't know what to do with it, should I add just subwoofers + tweeters to give it a surround feel instead of changing the whole original system? As I feel it is a waste considering it is all still brand new lol My Chevrolet Optra original sound system was soo much better

Hi all sifu, anyone here know where i can install locktech around setapak or pj ss2 area? I know many people say any accessories can do it but i am afraid they will clone the key as i do not know them and it is the security of my car. Anyone here can recommend a good and trustable shop? Oh by the way how much is the thing cost and labour charges?
Thanks!!!

Thanks!!! i am using locktech but i doubt they will clone the key so that they could steal your car later. they are running a business. i dont think they want to involve in crime at the same time. if that is the case then most of the aftermarket security system installer out there are no use too. they install it to you and later on they steal your car.. about the location i cant advice, i install it at penang
