Hi there all... Welcome to V2...
felt weird as i couldn't find V2 so i open it...

copy and paste from V1... more to come...


Hi Folks! notworthy.gif

Feeling weird that there is no Toyota vios owner's thread here, and soon I getting one, i decided to start a new thread for all vios owners and those potential buyers seeking information on the toyota vios, both previous gen and the current gen! This also acts as a info sharing hub for all vios owners.

This is open to both 1st gen (2003-2007) and 2nd gen (2007-current) owners

Continue from V1...

Regarding top speed, I floored it yesterday at highway, when car hits 180km/h, feels like car lift up from the road. I can't reach 200km/h. Donno why.

Regarding warranty issues, I contacted SC before installing fog lights.

my vios is now without battery since yesterday evening. battery kong and the foreman came to take it for warranty claim (6 mths old only) but dun hv spare one for us unless we buy a new one from him. I don't like him keep asking us to buy new at discounted price. why do i wanna buy when i can get a replacement FOC under warranty. but i dun like it he did not have a used spare for us.
now, what do you expect of the car without battery let's say for a week? i really hated why my partner had the car broke down near this workshop last yr and so let him supplied n changed our battery

Since this thread meant for Vios owners, I would like to raise question that members could face in their lovely Vios.

My air-cond could smell outside scent even all windows shut up properly when i on the air-cond. Do some testing myself which is off the air-cond & windows while i speed in highway. Just put your hand at the air-cond blower, you could still feel the air still coming in from those blower.

Is there anyone facing the same problem with me ? If yes, how do you rectify these problem. If the blower compartment not fully seal properly, dust & smell could come into our car easily.

Kindly advice how to rectify these problem.

Thanks in advance

Happy Viosing

Yup u r right.
I tried to dismantle air-cond compartment to see which area exposed to outside air, and found out the the air flap foam not really works properly. I used tape to fully cover the air intake hole from the wiper area. ( Dismantle wiper & the rubber surface, u can see air intake hole ). But currently faulty smell still entering inside car.

Any other suggestion ??

Thanks

P/S - My tyres going to worn out soon. Kindly advice what tyres suit me best. (of course best of bucks)

1) 195 55 15
2) 195 60 15
3) 185 55 15 (Current dimension)

1) i will take this size cause not too thin or thick
but the speedo meter will not be accurate when u running on this tire size

2) too thick but comfortable and speedo meter remain the same.

3) which spec of vios r u using? as i know, if vios stock tire is 185 60 15.

195 50 15, speedo remain the same with size.

this info, i get from a tire mech

Im using Vios made in 2007 ( Not the new model for 2007)

Kindly explain further why speedometer wont be that accurate if using No 1 tyre selection. Isnt it based on moving object for capturing the the speed.

Thanks for valueble advice

there is tire calculation whether the speedo meter will be accurate or not.
u r using a wider tire hence the tire grip more on floor then speedo will show slower but the tire series do play some role.

im not sure whether my explanation correct or not... if im wrong, please correct me.

i just booked my vios(J spec) yesterday, just now got a called from maybank to get my details, hope can get approve as soon as possible!

by the way, if changing sport rims will void the warranty, is it mean changing the cd player or add the fog light will void warranty too?

Yup u r right.
I tried to dismantle air-cond compartment to see which area exposed to outside air, and found out the the air flap foam not really works properly. I used tape to fully cover the air intake hole from the wiper area. ( Dismantle wiper & the rubber surface, u can see air intake hole ). But currently faulty smell still entering inside car.

Any other suggestion ??

Thanks

P/S - My tyres going to worn out soon. Kindly advice what tyres suit me best. (of course best of bucks)

1) 195 55 15
2) 195 60 15
3) 185 55 15 (Current dimension)
*
well not sure u need to patch things from inside or not too...

for the tires... try 195/55 R15.... if not 195/50 R15 is the best choice but 195/55 R15 is more comfort...
195/60 is over size... what do you expect from your tires??? Comfort, Handling and Noise...

Michelin PS3 (RM250~280) is low noise, good handling. good wet & dry traction but the comfort is acceptable...
Bridgestone RE001 (RM250~280) is low noise, good handling, good wet & dry traction but comfort is so so...
Hankook V12 Evo (RM200~220) is good comfort, good handling, good wet & dry traction but noise is slightly noisy...

there is some others tires too, let us know what you expect on Handling, Comfort or Noise so that we can give you more accurate recommendation...

oh... think how first, don wan spend so much money first, but the salesperson suggested me not to change anything within the first 3 years, that's why i asked over here.

the salesperson said, i can know the result on monday(i booked on thursday night), i wonder is it can know my loan application status as fast like this?

185/60 R14 you can go for Falken 912, Yokohama C Drive 2, Michelin XM1 or Certis, Toyo Teo Plus...
I think you give C Drive 2 a try new tires just reach our shore... smile.gif

it is over size... try 195/55 R 15 tires with more comfort...
you want comfort and quiet drive and does not care about the handling isn't it???
C Drive is good for you, C Drive 2 is here but this size they did not have stock yet... u can try Michelin Primacy LC and also Toyo tires also... toyo tires are know of softer sidewall but at thie size all their tires is performance type and it is directional, directional will give you a lil humming sound after sometime...

Yeah my thinking also more to 195 55 15.
BTW is there any good recommendation which around 180.00 - 200.00 budget a piece.
Aeon Centre - Continentel offering 4 pieces @ 880.00.
Kindly recommend location of trusted & cheap tyre shop.

One more issue, let say the alignment are out, do i need to listen to those installer to install the nut type in order for them to adjust my vios alignmnet ??

Thanks in advance

Conti CC5 i think or worst CC1 (old model)...

if you don mind a lil noisy, Hankook V12 is much better... below RM900 u can get others tires also like Yokohama C Drive, Falken 912... better than Conti entree level tires...

the nut is Camber nut and it is not alignment problem.. it cause ur tire to have uneven wear, inside and outside thread wears problem...

Anyone have this problem: I get knocking sounds when I turn the steering during corners. Mostly sound is from back wheels.

In terms of comfort, does other tyres give a significant change compared to the stock tyres? Let's say the 14 inchers for the 2nd gen vios.

Also, will changing tyres void any part of the warranty?

What spec and color did you book?
You have to get the estimate from your SA about your car availability.

My friend need to wait for 3 months before getting his black vios.
Hope mine is on the way since the SA said the car should be coming by Mac.

for a normal person or normal ride, u dont need to add it... unless u r racing type which prefer to have better handling then go for it.
if a normal car havent accident before, u dont need to as original chamber setting wont go off easily.

In terms of comfort, does other tyres give a significant change compared to the stock tyres? Let's say the 14 inchers for the 2nd gen vios.

Also, will changing tyres void any part of the warranty?
*
no changing tires will not void your warranty... hmmm like Hector said... Primacy LC will give you the comfort.... but for the 14" u can try 185/60 R14... u have a lot of choices there...
Entree Level - Michelin XM1 or Certis
Premium Comfort - Michelin Primacy LC, Yokohama C Drive or C Drive 2 (just arrive),
Toyo Teo Plus is great but it is a lil expensive, or the most expensive among all RM200/pc at least...

stock tires GT3???? or even the old NCT5 sucks...


QUOTE(AllexKing @ Mar 3 2011, 11:00 AM)
Yup for the chamber adjustment. Is it recommended to change that nut ??
Its cost around 100.00++ per piece a side both side will cost 200.00++
*
as Kazami told you don need to change the nut if the setting is not affecting your tire wear too much...
and the nut is not that expensive... if you say RM100 i believe but RM200 too much... the most i heard is RM120 only...

QUOTE(kazami @ Mar 4 2011, 03:38 AM)
for a normal person or normal ride, u dont need to add it... unless u r racing type which prefer to have better handling then go for it.
if a normal car havent accident before, u dont need to as original chamber setting wont go off easily.

you are correct... smile.gif

It might be bearing problem..

If you can hear woh woh sound especially when you drive in straight road, it should be bearing problem.

I faced and solved such problem 2 months ago. Repair costs me RM200 when I was at my hometown (Kluang, Johor). Repair fee in KL should be higher.

Front (right).. They changed bearing only. Changing a bearing needs a lot of works.

Car rebate is much higher at year end because the car will be 2 years old already if someone book in 2010 and receive the car in Jan 2011.

If you hear loud "tuk tuk tuk" sound especially when you drive across a hump and bad condition road, it should be absorber problem. It might be driveshaft problem too. This problem happened in my Nissan car almost half year ago which costs me around RM800 (workshop is located in Subang Jaya).

Your situation is same with my Nissan car. It might be absorber problem.

I cannot give any assumption as I am not from automobile mechanical background. You should go to several workshops in Subang Jaya and Klang area to check your car.

u can remove it by somethings like steel ruler or knife
the leftover can be clear by polish tools easily

Hi guys I have a NCP-42 Vios in home.

I wonder how do I start the engine because whenever I want to start, the red light beside the ignition switch appeared and I cannot start anymore. I have to use the alarm switch to lock the door and unlock it. Is there any proper way to solve this? I can't be using the same method like this...

my loan approved on last monday, i registered my number at JPJ Setapak on last Tuesday,
and upgrade my booking from J to E spec,
On Sunday, they told me i can get my car on tuesday,
but tonight(MOnday) when he came to my house to collect the downpayment,
he said got to wait 2 more days,
he told me the news around 8pm something, but not earlier in the afternoon,
is it he cant know it earlier?
y he cant always update us the latest information,
but i got to ask him on everytime?
really dislike his service attitude.

i booked on 24 of Feb, and will get my car on 17th,
last tuesday he promise me i will get by 18th of march,
but he said will be earlier if i upgrade to E spec,
and now seems not earlier as he told.

based on replies and feedback i read from the internet, and based on my previous experience, SA is one of the person that you cant trust the most. there are good SA, but chances that you bump into them are really slim.

just to make you relieve, vios is one of the best selling car in malaysia, so it's normal for a long waiting list. and as long as you get your car in good condition, with all the accesories equipped together, reasonable mileage and lots of freebies, then i think it's good enough..

SA promise, just let it go in right ear and let it out left ear.

about upgrading your J to E spec car, i think that is really worth for you. u get a sport rim, 2 airbag, a decent HU, side mirror with signal, trunk lid cover, and a better NVH.

i do understand Vios is one of the best selling car in malaysia, but he told me i can get my car on tuesday, so i take leave from my company, but at night he only told me he cant do it, i just hope he will always update me the information, same like he has never update how is my hire purchase application status. i thought the SA from their branch will be quite nice because they got 'certificate'(as their mentioned on their name card), but.. really disatisfy.

i will check my car condition once i can get it, that's why i wanna get my car in the afternoon, but not in night as he suggest.

i know E spec is really worth to get, i have never regret to upgrade, i just dislike his service attitude, haha..

oh ya, how to consider as 'reasonable mileage'?

Congrats bro, u sure get ur car very fast. rclxms.gif
3 km is just nice. My car already registered 35km when i inspect my car last week.
Perhaps they need to drive them from the port to Toyota SC for inspection.

My car color is medium grey G spec.
The SA told me that the car will arrive in Mac.
I bet he already estimated the time the ship will deliver the next batch of order.

As for the audio Player, you can easily change it to aftermarket touch screen double din like pioneer, alpine etc.. nod.gif

reasonable mileage as our fellow friend just share, some get 3km, some get 35km. new car should be around that figure.

but mine is around 170km when i got it. damn frustrated, but it's expected as my SA told me he will go to perlis to get stock immediately and drive from there.

wah... get from perlis, is it completely out of stock in klang valley at the time?
im wondering, if i cant get my car on 18th of march as they marked on the invoice,
what will happened?
i don know why got to wait 2 extra days,
is it because of out of stock or JPJ problem,
he has never let me know the real reason.

before my loan approve,
he said my interest will less than 2.8%,
but after approved,
it is 2.84%,
i know it is not a big amount from 2.8-2.84%,
but just cant accept he always promise for nothing.

im sorry because i got many complaint here, haha..

for interest, SA can only promise, but the decision will be made by bank, judging from your finance history, and years of loan period. mine was 3.84% when i sign the agreement and later found out that bank offer me 3.11%.. high isnt it? but that time the BLR quite high and i took 9 years...

i am from penang actually and i was shopping for a new car just before raya, so that SA tried hard to get a car for me before raya. so i guess i could accept his reason, and no problem with the car upon receiving and up till now.

sometimes you will get good SA, but most of the times, well SA are just crap.

I loan 60k 5years with rate 2.66%, my SA promised me 2.66% and i also asked the bank for the interest rate when they called me for information checking.

Yup, no matter how....

U better spend your time to check ur car before u put ur signature on the paper!

check everything including those plastic panels for any unnecessary gap, power windows, alarm and remote system, everything.... check slowly..

Anyone know more details about the max check promotion from Toyota?
According to my SA, it's another option if you don't want to get the rebate but can opt for this package instead.

I loan 60k 5years with rate 2.66%, my SA promised me 2.66% and i also asked the bank for the interest rate when they called me for information checking.

Yup, no matter how....

U better spend your time to check ur car before u put ur signature on the paper!

check everything including those plastic panels for any unnecessary gap, power windows, alarm and remote system, everything.... check slowly..

wah check until like that? better dun buy car, just walk la lol just kidding

but no need to worry much as our vios come with quality and reliability together in package.

Any recommendation on the service menu at 10K? I am at 9.8K++ now. Sucks that the free service is over!

Anyway... just want to check with u all something.

I found up that the speedometer and rpm meter didn't light up during daytime driving when no headlamp ON. ( It lights up when headlamp is ON)..

Just want to clarify, this is normal or it suppose to light up even no Headlamp is ON? I feel hardly read the speedometer without light up during daytime....

Thanks...

I prefer G due to it's combi leather seat. TRD just have fabric which i think is overpriced due to the suspension and bodykit.

hi guys

i own a toyota vios too! e spec, nice car!

i would like to ask you guys problem that i encounter and need to check with you guys before i went to SC

1. wind noise. it's noticeable now since this car had clocked 13k+ km.. may i know what's the causing the issue and how to persuade SC to change part to overcome this situation?

2. aircond not cold enough. at first i thought this is due to long term of parking under direct sunlight, but then when i drive one of my friend's myvi, found out that his aircond is super cold! maybe i need to topup aircond gas?

Mine is G spec. Drive to uni everyday. smile.gif

I face exactly same problems as you mentioned above.

1. wind noise is noticeable especially I drive above 100km/h. I have no idea to reduce wind noise. Maybe type of tyre?

2. aircond is not cold enough compared to national car - I think most of vios owners face this problem because this type of car is build for better FC.

I pumped RON97 petrol 2 days ago. I can feel significant power gained in RON97 compared to RON95. However, it's more expensive IMO, I might change to RON95

I don't think we can solve the wind noise issue, I install sound proof material in KL Auto. I can only said significantly reduce but can't remove it.

RON 97 will give more power and reduce engine noise but too expensive for me, I am looking for other alternative to reduce engine noise,

Any idea ?

if you can significantly reduce the wind noise, i guess that is already a great result

i heard somewhere that this is due to rubber around windscreen that is shrink/hardened due to a very hot weather or maybe due to long exposure under direct sunlight.

any opinions from others?

My car is still new below 1 years old, guess ur car same as well, so hardening of rubber shouldn't happen,
i guess vios build and design quality not so good, that why create wind noise when above 100km/h

that can't be helped much, apparently it affects lots of car as well. they need to sell at affordable price, hence the lower grade quality. but it's acceptable as compare to proton/perodua quality, no offence

hi

speedometer and rpm meter as mentioned are actually not lighten up and low head lamp need to on first.

but as for sportivo version (or S version before) it comes with optitron meter, it will lighten up and looks really cool!

i have change my meter to optitron meter and really cool! it also comes with multi info display which will show u fuel consumption, average km/h, real time km/h, real time fuel consumption and also distance to empty.

even if it's released, CKD in malaysia will take another 2 years... 2013 maybe?

my loan approved on last monday, i registered my number at JPJ Setapak on last Tuesday,
and upgrade my booking from J to E spec,
On Sunday, they told me i can get my car on tuesday,
but tonight(MOnday) when he came to my house to collect the downpayment,
he said got to wait 2 more days,
he told me the news around 8pm something, but not earlier in the afternoon,
is it he cant know it earlier?
y he cant always update us the latest information,
but i got to ask him on everytime?
really dislike his service attitude.

i booked on 24 of Feb, and will get my car on 17th,
last tuesday he promise me i will get by 18th of march,
but he said will be earlier if i upgrade to E spec,
and now seems not earlier as he told.

i will check my car condition once i can get it, that's why i wanna get my car in the afternoon, but not in night as he suggest.

i know E spec is really worth to get, i have never regret to upgrade, i just dislike his service attitude, haha..

ya, simply promise, and now he asked me please give him high point when i got the survey form from toyota, haha..
maybank is slightly higher one? i loan from Maybank Islamic too, as i have seen from the letter header.
*
ya, maybank is slighty higher

if ur SA ask u give him high point~
do him a favor then^^ i ask pls for him too
cause tat do matter to us~
if we fail on tat...T_T somethings terrible is gonna happen to us~

maybe he is just overconfident on his estimation~

ok... first of all. different loan amount have different rate.
i have the calculation format.
if u borrow 55000, i can give u 2.7%for 7 years
but for 45000, it is hard to get 2.7%
the more money u borrow, the lower the rate or maybe the longer the tenure

it's fine, i want to save money, so air cool is my choice. i forgot the name, either super cool extreme or classic, the price during promotion is RM650.

for me as a consumer, i thought if only we give 8 or 9 is the real mark because it is impossible to get perfect. smile.gif i agree what u said, i dislike him that simply promise/speak out without thinking, and wasting my time/my money to make several calls.

i would like to know, if i burn the mp3 files into a folder, how can i play the files in the folder? when i insert the cd into the player, it keeps reading the file and cant play the cd even i press UP or DOWN on Folder, why?

ic.. i thought the rest we loan, the lower rate we can get because the risk is lower. anyway, thanks for ur information.

solar guard 1500?how much is the IRR( infrared rejection rate)


The solar guard that I choose have 63% IRR. Silver color.
If 70% IRR, will cost 1750. sweat.gif
Only 7% difference. doh.gif


Added on March 21, 2011, 5:02 pmHi Hector,
I heard that the Toyota window tinting is not manually applied like the normal tint shop but rather it was integrated or moulded together with the glass. Is that right?

Is that the reason why it cost more than 2K?

i think different in term of appearence and interior only, not much.

you will get a beige color interior, plus old round design steering. the rest pretty much the same. not to forget the grill also not the same. hope this helps smile.gif



i would like to as all vios owner about situation i had previously with my vios.

1. during my cruise up to genting, i dont have any problem actually, but at certain point i rev up to much, up to 7k rpm to push my vios up, i was driving with 4 passanger including me, with full load of rear bonnet. does that do any effect to engine/gearbox and any recommendation to do preventive maintenance as i dont want it to spoilt later too early

2. on same situation, there's time where under car scratch with speed bump on genting, due to 4 passangers and full load of rear bonnet. which part could be hitted and what effect on my car? fyi after almost a month driving, the car still behave healthy as ever, but i afraid i miss something that need immidiate check up

please advice. thanks ya!

let us share modification/add on done to our ride smile.gif

mine, vios e spec, exterior still stock standard, no modification

add on

1. brake lock (locktact)

2. custom car coil mat with side sewing and heelpad

3. original toyota optitron meter (same as s spec/trd sportivo)

for me, all this add on really a worth their money

for brake lock, it's for security purpose and it's plug and play, no wire cutting involve, and you need to disengage the lock first then only can start the engine

for custom coil mat, it completed the looks, and makes interior cleaner and it's easy to clean and wash it.

and for optitron meter, i just love its glow and it's multi info display

please share your add on and modification

hi leong

congrats on your new ride, you will be damn happy with vios i guarantee!

about the service, if you have enough money you can go to toyota authorised SC for peace of mind

but i am pretty sure that your area finding a good reputable workshop is not a challenge at all

and since the warranty period is over so i guess you can play around in getting aftermarket spare part to replace the original wear and tear

Have any guys here change their 1 or 2 din to aftermarket DVD player or toyota's DVD player? Any recommendation in terms or brand? Am looking for one which cost less than RM1k

Will it void any warranty on the car (besides the player)?

Hi buddy, my car alarm wakes me up in this morning. The alarm alert happened 3 times in the morning. It is very annoying.

Another: The alarm "beep" for 2 times when we lock door via remote control. Sometimes, it "beep" more than 4 times.

I have no idea about it.

Does anyone face the same problem? (VIOS 07' G Spec)

changing stock alarm would simply mean cutting of wires, in which many would afraid it would void warranty

so, best solution is to get urself a pedal lock, which once lock engine cnt be started, and most importantly easy to use and wont void warranty

not saying that a steering lock isnt good, but again, after some time, we will feel lazy to lock, and where shud we keep that bulky thing?

and a good steering lock would cost up to 3xx such as stoplock sad.gif

Why you need so many locks?

I don't use any lock. If they(expert) want to steal your car, whatever locks also no use unless you have security system like Jaguar, Lexus, BMW, etc.

Correct me if I am wrong.

think of it as your size 8 feet wearing say... size 12 shoes... any difference?

bigger rims = wider tyres = more road contact = more grip = more friction = "heavy" feeling, correct me if i'm wrong

You are missing the main point: more fc = more $$ spent

and

you car will become less responsive. You need to pedal a bit more to move your car.

Overall, 17" rim is not ideal if you want to save petrol money for monthly expenses.

maybe they will quit to do so.  rclxms.gif
is it toyota sc can solve it?
i will send my car for 1st service tomorrow,
will try to ask them whether can solve the problem or not.

I don't think he will add you into the list. He is currently busy with HTC Incredible S and Wildlife thread.

I told him twice to add me into the list. But, I still cannot find my name in the list. hmm.gif I drive a 2007 G Spec to uni everyday.


Hi guy, my car alarm alerts for 5 days subsequently since last Friday (every morning). It is weird because my car alarm always alert in the morning (around 10:00am). Does it have timer? Does anyone face this problem?

Nice info & bit challenging to read since I use google translator to convert.
After 5 years maybe plan to try 3M instead for a difference.

I saw the vkool shop have a sample 3m film but it was burned on the sample paper using the UV light. Rival sure will do those things for comparison.

Hi Vios members, PLEASE see this.

Bad and inactive thread , Good thread and best thread

Our thread (VIOS) is lack of much information compared to other threads (Forte, Civic, etc). Our thread seems like dying soon. Thanks to irresponsible thread starter.

Every thread starter must make sure that he/she can make their thread successfully, INFORMATIVE and interesting. If you cannot do it, please leave this job to other potential VIOS owner. HAIZZZZZZ......

TS, no offence, please think about it.

hi alvin

i guess it's ignorant to simply blame an individual over this kind of thing

if you think this thread is lack of info, then you should add. the same with me too. everyone should done their part. not only thread starter.

you can always contribute and be a good forummer by pm thread starter and discuss on how to make things more interesting, that way is how we tackle issues positively rather than shooting blanks.

I apologize as my opinion was rather aggressive and offensive. I am just hoping this thread will become better, interesting, and informative. Don't you?

Eg: Forte Club TS organizes event and activity. The TS creates Facebook Malaysian Forte Club.

TS doesn't visit and update this thread for quite a long time. Is he a responsible thread starter? Ask yourself sincerely please. We cannot simply open a thread and leave it there, hoping other vios owners to tell you to update latest news and things.

Hi leechers, do you see the links above? Please go and check their threads please. Those responsible TS(s) put their hard work and soul in it. Can you check Desire HD Thread? The TS works hard to gather all information available and categorize them in a systematic way. Their threads are getting interesting and improving over time. Please don't shot me as I want to voice my opinion. Thank you. smile.gif

i did check out those links

but i disagree with you by putting the burden to the thread starter. first, he did take an effort of opening a thread.

if you stand by your opinion then why dont you go ahead and start the facebook malaysian vios club?

it's true that this thread is quite passive and the thread count are really slow. but blaming an individual is not making anything better right?

no offense but i think you are just making a personal attack on thread starter, which is i think is an inmature act.

why dont you just suggest thread starter to close this thread, and you start a brand new, fresh thread? i think it is better than making the thread starter a black sheep.

Hi Alvin,

I had been long visited this thread or should i say this forum... i had been busy lately...
there is a few sifu here also which you can rely on, whether it is technical question, mod question or even spare parts question... but unfortunately there isn't much info which we compiled, frankly speaking as there isn't ppl help to open a new thread when the old one passed the 2500 post limit for each thread (rules set by the admin), i help to start a new one...

If you think you have a lot of info please PM me your email... i'll pass all the starting post you all then by all means start a new thread for the Vios community... i more job to take care and now i seldom have time to online...

for organizing TT and also activity, i think u need to go to Vios 07 forum, that suits you more as there have bunch of technical info and also they organize activity also... please PM bro Vios2002 for more info...

what info do you want from here??? please sound out maybe i have those info you needed... pls i hate ppl blaming each other for lack of info while the other party does not sound he need help... is it shy to post question here to ask why this or that happens? sorry to be rude, i hate ppl blaming each other and also those ppl like you which like to have "Spoon Feed Info"... there is always the google or yahoo button to search for answer.... and you have your own finger to type to ask question... so make use of it...



Guys, anyone wanna take over please PM me... I'll email you all the starter post which i manage to copied from previous thread and rearrange it to you... all the coding is included... thanks...

Just bought a Vios will be getting it soon this coming mid-May!

I was wondering since I bought the E version without the full spec speakers.. if I were to uprade it from 4 speakers 6 speakers.

Is this possible to do so? If so what are the pros and cons and the pricing. I'm someone who appreciates music when driving.. any help will be great!

You can upgrade the stock player with a dvd touchscreen easily or change the OEM speakers with better ones.

As for the 2 extra speakers. You can buy the tweeter that is placed next to the side mirror just like the G and TRD model.
Estimated price not more than RM150 for the 2 tweeters.

It depends on your taste of music and the speakers in your car.
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. tongue.gif

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

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

Thanks for ur reply. Just a little worried specially by reading thestar newspaper recently bout stolen car case these days...hehe...

By the way is the locktech convenient to use? and when you install it that time did the toyota SC say will void any warranty on the car parts?

i would say it is the most convenient way to lock your car , can check my thread, one of our bro did a real detail review on the lock rclxms.gif

and most importantly it would not void any warranty as it is just plug and play item smile.gif smile.gif

yes understand your point, good auto oil maker does not need to run heavy oil weight such as 5w40, 10w40, or even 10w50 and 15w50.

i my schedule service interval is every 5000 km on full synthetic oil if i service at SC. this is cause i notice performance drop after 6000 km and long hour driving each time go out station.

for the current best API standart is API grade V, this normally API SN on the bottle sticker as previous is SM grade.

next round is racing oil as this grade have the best protection for engine wear and tear.

yeah we should be worried with current situation.

i am using it, and it's convenient. it is plug and play, no issue about warranty as it is plug and play and not part replacement at all. if you are in penang i can recommend you a good place to install it. try to look around and perhaps you can do price comparison. it should be between rm300-rm380, well try to nego with the installer.

Using Iridium plus on our engine is good since this type of plus able to improve FC and better engine respond... in the market there is few good brand from Bosch, Denso, NGK and etc... but if you are looking for the ultimate plug for our car dugong and any engine you can try look for Silver spark plug... This silver spark plug will out perform any Iridium plug in the market as they claim they are super good in this and that.

For Silver plug you can look for Brand Brisk or Nology Silver plug, price just alittle more then iridium plug.

I read some ppl suggest IK20 is more suitable for vios model but the website stated as IK16.
So, which one is the best?

If I want to install the trd sport pedal for my toyota that i bought outside, will the SC ppl do FOC or they will charge separately.

depends what SC u go... original UMW Toyota they will not install anything 3rd Party or what we bought from outside... some SC they do help but labour charges apply...

for the Iridium Spark Plugs i'm currently using NGK ones... because it has small gap which is 0.8mm gap similar with OE parts...
for Denso parts I can help to ask from my fren (disty) for Denso parts... give you an answer later.

assuming the tires are brand new with very little mileage clocked, the lowest you should accept is RM400.. some owners managed to trade in for RM500+

Just send my car for my 1st service this morning.
I choose to use the semi syn oil instead of mineral.

My mileage for RM50 Petronas 95 Xtra perhaps can go up to 300KM. Start to blink after running up to 285KM. Light footed.

Some vios owner from other forum said that you will have about 30KM worth of fuel when the gauge start to blink.

100% town driving

Hopefully after 1st service, can go for more than 300KM on RM50 Petronas 95 Extra.

Congrats on ur new ride. rclxms.gif
The hike in BLR don't affect hire purchase interest.
If the hire purchase interest is below 2.8%, then it's still within acceptable level coz the bank will compensate with free service. etc.....

Hey Guys,

I'm struggle in choice between Vios and Altis.

Vios will give me comfort in payment but too squeeze as my wife and kid sitting at behind, i need more spacious

Altis tied up my waist with big buck burn but it give me spacious and better driving experience

my question :
My payment for Altis will cost me about RM900, which is almost double from Vios monthly payment, except my favor to Altis, do i have other reason to stick on ? Thanks in advance for the advice ! I just need some counseling here smile.gif

i had the same dilemma... finally opted for Vios G instead of Altis 1.8E...

for the installment amount i'm paying for altis... i can pay installment + maintenance for Vios...

was very tempted to take Altis... very very tempted cos it looked so much better than Dugong... comes with tint, dual vvti, 7 speed CVT, nice rims... but what the heck... i just need a car to go to work... might as well save that couple f hundred a month for health food smile.gif
anyway... i don't have a kid yet... going to get married soon tongue.gif

if that's the case, you might as well go for Altis smile.gif

my case is cos i just need a car as a stepping stone for a better car, can't get over my conscience to go straight for conti... feels good yet feel so wrong tongue.gif

of course... altis is any time better than Vios, i would have gotten Altis too but as a first car... Vios should be good enough for me tongue.gif

look for Hector Soh, myaltis club president for more info on Altis, nice guy, u bought my car from him smile.gif

If compare with wira, wira shift more smoother compare to vios manual.

The J manual gb shifts as per normal gb.. slick and smooth on every gear, very nice feeling with minimal rubbery feeling, in fact, the rubbery feel is very little you will not notice it.. unlike proton always have stiff 2nd gear..
saga BLM manual gearbox is worst. too much freeplay.

better take the rebate rm500.. for that amount, can get a decent tint already.. 4mil security not worth it lah.. somemore probably it comes with low spec solar protectant.

how much did you pump? RM50 should give at least 300km for city driving. using mineral or synthetic shouldn't give much difference for FC.

If the SA can prove it is the original bodykit made from ABS material, then up to you to get it or not.. Same price if you buy from outside.. alternatively you can opt for cheaper material which is made from PU. Scare if the SA install an inferior product but claimed it is original.

the engine has no problem taking either 95 or 97.. 1nz-fe engine is not picky when it comes to fueling.. same goes to engine oil.. but of course, 97 will give slightly more power.

350++km for RM60 should be normal for city driving, no worries. i'm using the same tires too.

S.A call me up again today. Ask me to place booking ASAP. There will be another facelift in June. Design nobody knows. Price could be higher than current price and no more discount.

For city driving, that sounds normal.. but for highway, full tank should give at least 500km.. drive sedately and you'll get 600km.. some MT owners are getting close to 700km.

Below is the latest pic and info for the face lift. Bigger pics at http://mudahdtoyota.blogspot.com

It's just body kit for the G Limited minus the keyless entry, start stop button, aux port which the Thailand have.
The TRD is even better with leather seat now and nicer grille.

It's true that M'sia model is being given the lousiest accessories/parts compared to Thailand.
We have not reach the Japanese standard to produce Toyota parts/accessories yet. sad.gif Maybe control by the govt?? rolleyes.gif

But I think Malaysia vios should be on par already with Thailand manufactured one. I driving Vios E (Brunei dealer, Thailand manufacturer), feeling same like Vios Malaysia.
