I've found another link. The cd changer port can be trick to support external media drive. Since vios cd changer port are 12 pin port, it might work after all.

What fuel do you guys pump?
Over here in Sarawak, only have Petronas and Shell. If got BHP, sure will stick to that brand.

I've been using Petronas 95 for more than 1 year and feel that the engine sometimes lag when u step on the pedal.

After I change to Shell 95 last month, really can feel that difference straight away. Power is there when u step on the gas pedal. Now on my 2nd fuel up but notice that the engine noise a bit rough and car body shake a bit more compared to Petronas 95.
In terms of mileage comparison, not much difference.
Perhaps there are pros and cons that you guys have experienced in using both fuels?

hey fellow bros,

wanna ask about some stuffs

radiator water etc..
how often u guys fill the water?????
*
Good question.
I noticed that Vios dun have reserve tank like Iswara.
I see it's fitted with coolant reservoir tank. Just top up if low. Perhaps check the water level thru coolant tank?
Any vios veteran have experience with the radiator water level etc.

Sometimes it's the thing that you put inside the car can trigger the alarm.
Read it from somewhere saying that if a device that transmit signal can also cause this.

Hi guys. I just bought a used Vios 2010. Everything works fine. Just that when i open the coolant reservior, i noticed that previos owner put water into it. Can i just put coolant in directly or need flush first?
*
Better to flush first and add coolant later. That way u dun mix the contaminated water with your new coolant.

Hey friends, someone told me when Vios go above 20kmph will auto lock the door?

I try few times on my car but it didnt auto lock also. Is it a G-spec and above function?


Added on August 6, 2012, 6:47 pmshit..I just read a few pages back. New improve version don't hv this auto-lock thing already? AIYOO

kuman, did ur SA come back to u? what's happening with the auto-lock ?
*
I've read from the other website and it affect all the new facelift model for June 2012 onwards.
I don't believe the autolock got so much problem until need to be removed. Feels like they purposely make up the story and remove the safety feature that should be there. hmm.gif
My frens vios bought 2008 dun have such problems yet.

at only 74k? WOW.

What is in E spec then , isn't it 83K? almost 10K difference
*
If you compare to Thailand, the TRD spec price is in between E and G. The difference between each model is not much perhaps in the range of 2-3K.
10K difference J and E. Which I feel like shakehead.gif

As for the scratches, can bring to toyota and ask for the price for re-spray. My bumper also got kissed last year. The bumper dented a bit and got paint chip. Damage was RM 350 include repair the dent and respraying. Very satisfied with toyota workmanship.

did bring to toyota & ask, it cost RM300 but the guy who kissed me refuse to pay tat amount...
In the end, i hav to follow him to his fren's workshop & spray over there...

No choice...  rclxub.gif

No sure if it's true or not, i ask my SA about the Toyota centre in ipoh, whether they hav this Body & Paint service or not. My SA told me they dont have tis service in Toyota centre (Ipoh), they will send ur car to somewhere else for the paint service. Not sure tat "somewhere" is where.
*
I feel ur pain as I've gone thru the same experience b4.
Ur lucky that the guy at least pay for the re-spray.

Mine was a bit unlucky as the old fart driving an old Mercedes kept saying that there was no proof as bumper was still intact . doh.gif
In the end, the old fart dun wanna pay and i have to cough up the repair myself. mad.gif
I have taken photo of his car plate that I still keep until today for future encounter with his car. whistling.gif

Hi Sifu,

I want to change my small light in front. Already bought the T10 but dont know how to install. Can someone guide me pls..
*
You have to explain in more detail what type of light. There are so many bulbs in front of the car.
Perhaps you can refer to the user manual to find the steps to DIY.
