I can tell you 500+ to 600+ is only true in perfect driving condition...

normal usage.. 400-450km per tank is the real figure..

6 years Vios user experience....

it can hit near to 600 when u drive all the way highway only...

You mean FL 07 or pre FL05?
Mine 05 changed to Pioneer cos those time Toyota gave cassette type wink.gif
Since mine E, it comes with a plastic to cover the hole which G don't have as its double DIN type originally. So have to source for that plastic cover.
BTW, the head unit wont be able to accommodate the frame of the head unit, so it wont looks good.
How much they quote u in SC for ori? Last time I was quoted local ori at RM170/pair & import Ori at 270/pair shakehead.gif
I didn't know Toyota SC have 2 kinds of ori brake pad rolleyes.gif 
So end up get from outside.

thanks for ur concern bro...

this is the result... with the surrounding bracket... without the bracket also look pretty good...

done it by myself..

LoL, Im also using this HU. I was dissapointed that the cover couldnt fit in and thought it looked funny...But after sometime, i got use to it and think it looked OK.  tongue.gif

Mind sharing how you manage to fit the cover in?  thumbup.gif

biggrin.gif...


first of all.. the lower "drawer" box have 2 "pin" on top to hold the old player.. with new player.. the 2 pin will sort of pushing the player leave 1 line between the player and drawer.. user cutter to cut this 2 pin so there is no line/gap between the player and drawer....

install as usual...

force the bottom of the cover to let the player and drawer holding the many small pins of the cover..

the above part of the cover... u can't do anything.. the left and right side simply not hold coz the center part are curve out.. 1 solution.. double side tape for left n right.. tongue.gif laugh.gif

I do think without cover also look ok since all black... biggrin.gif

Mine is 1st batch Dugong no remote trunk. So far no problem pulling from driver side or using a key.
Btw, so far I have identified 3 bearings malfunction and noisy. It is 4yrs already and I've just replace one (rear right) costing me rm500 (with labour). I'm thinking the both front would be around 1k if unlucky. WTF my old Toyota 15yrs+ and another one 20yrs also no such problem.

If that the case is the Vios that high maintenance (no longer a Toyota trait)? Cars like MyVi even if every 4yrs bearing change, each around rm150 - Vios bearing cost 3 times more than MyVi.

I'm thinking of downgrading...
*
U get the impression of "TOYOTA" wrong dy esp VIOS...

VIOS are design to be a cost saving car.. so, everything here and there cut.. cut... and cut....
It is a small car and kind of similar catagory like MyVi too.. tongue.gif

anyway, my bearing change 1 year+ ago.. that time my car was about 5 years dy... only the front..

should be the same.. anyway when u change.. it is better to change left n right 1 pair.. not just only 1 site...


Added on September 24, 2011, 10:29 amP/S : rear bearing are much more expansive than front..
