i think tilt sensor is as what the name suggest... if somehow people tilt your car on one side... front.. back or sideway (for example jacking the car to steal your rims.. or worst your car...) the alarm will go blazing... correct me if i'm wrong..

my SA showed this to me once.. but it never happened again..

was at Toyota this afternoon... they showed to me the new pamphlet as well.. since the new price will be in effect soon...
now some of the SA is pushing to clear the stock of the old Vios model... cheaper with additional discount (RM1888 IIRC) for J version...

the SA comparing for me the additional features for J and the E version.. i also think that they J "upgrades" are worth it if you're looking for a new VIOS.... i'm also "thinking" of upgrading my J-Manual vios to the new version (J-Auto) hence my visit to Toyota Sales.. ;D

my 2cents worth..

kuman

cool...
sweet... what color did you book?
i saw the white G-Limited yesterday in the showroom... that is one cool ride..

been looking for those G-Limited aerokit around town.. but none of the shop have it yet

kuman

yup.. i also J is more worth it... hence the reason i'm booking a J this time around

me also loving my 2007 J Manual vios... but i developed a condition on my left knee that makes driving a manual more of a hassle since late May so i have nno choice but to "upgrade" to Vios J-Auto...

Manual saves so much FC.. dunno how's the Auto going to fair me the FC...

this time around i booked White as well....now need to find a shop that can do the G-Limited bodykit

kuman

@Thunderbolt:
- IIRC they offer me 2.4K fr the G-limited bodykit... but he SA recommend me to get from outside.. much cheaper.. but the problem is where to find!!

@zheilwane:
- 4K discount? wow that a lot of discount .. err you sure thats for the new facelift version of VIOS? since i went to one showroom.. and they offer me 2K discount for the current version... since they want to clear the stock impending release of the new version...

kuman

last time i checked with the Acc. shop.. they have this wire converter for around RM50 to convert the wiring for your vios audio system (Vios J)... so no need to cut any wire... but you have to be specific and stess about NOT cuting any wire in the audio installation and watch the whole installation process... just to be sure that they actually did use the wire-converter.

i saw the said wire and it have a kind of connector to it that actually connect to the power of your existing audio and change it to the new audio-player. go and asked around...

i saw this but i didnt actually change my audio-player yet.. as this cheapo player in my Vios-J served it purpose as an audio player... BTW mine is year 2009 Vios J Manual...



@thunder_bolt:
- think they stated it on the brochure.. let me check and get back to you.. )or if anyone else have the info. can chirp in as well)


@zheilwane:
- no wonder on the high discount... .. as i said.. they wanted to clear old stock....
but the weird thing is.. they still cant confirm the final price of the new facelift version of the new Vios J 2012... weird indeed.... at least my sa cant..

been eyeing this tyres as well... so hows the noise? or is it very silent?

as for locks.. i used the aorta pedal lock... pretty handy..

kuman

hi... nice ride...

how's the performance of your Toyo DRB? how is the noise level?

kuman

my current Vios J (Manual) uses the ULW (Ultra Light Weight) rims... very nice and able to maintain very nice FC and coupled with a 195 tyres...

but sadly... i cannot take the rims and put on my new vios J (Auto) since if i do so, the price that i let go of my current J (Manual) drops significantly .. but i'm ok with it since my new Vios J(A) comes with a standard 15" rims + 185 tyres.. should last me a couple of years before i need to change it again...(need to recover some funds after the downpayment and bodykit for my new Vios J (Auto) )


at the moment i think the interest rate is at 2.49% and yes you'll end up with around RM750 ++ if make a 10% downpayment..

kuman

so far almost 3 years... my rims still ok considering i've been to nooks and cranny of the road here in Kedah outdoors (balik kampung, outdoor outing etc) so far so good...

anyway to those who need to see.. here is my rims...

just thought i share..

kuman

same as mine then..
if thats the case then its 3 years warranty / 100,000 km which ever comes first..

mine still have 4 months of warranty...
kuman

Opinion please

i'm in dilemma...

my vios coming out next week... and in dilemma on which bodykit to choose..
My Vios is going to be White J.

1st candidate:
G-Limited body kit



- price: Rm1200 (all in)
- material: Fibre (not sure if its carbon fibre or FRP) - shop said this can easily cracked..
- waiting time: 10 days
- not many on the road


2nd Candidate:
TRD Sportivo body kit



- price: RM1000 (all in)
- material: ABS (the shop said this is better than fibre?)
- waiting time 2-3 days
- A WHOLE lot on the road already


err.. opinion please...

thanks guys

This post has been edited by kuman: Jul 1 2012, 03:55 PM

so where do you do waxing and how much? and how long does it take com complete the waxing process?
can share the place ?

maybe i can drop by the place to wax my car also... coming out today or tomorrow... B'worth is just a RM3.20 tol fees away (1 way excluding tol Sg Nyior (50cent))

kuman

alamak... Alor Star too far for just a wax service.. hmmm

what about those under Pacific Megamall or those under Jaya Jusco Perda.. any good?

never heard of claying before.. so it really helps protect the paint ek?

BTW: u from Kulim?

kuman

aha...
so if i saw a brand new Vios G roaming the street in Kulim area i can angkat tangan la.. who knows it maybe you

so plan to install any bodykit? ehh yours is G-limited already have body kit kan?

.......................

hmm Tribe Toyota ekk.. i never registered there but always been in Vios07 forum.. dunno if they already solved the registration confirmation email issue with the forum...

kuman

cool.... been looking to get myself a G-limited kit as well.. RM1200 from ONCost kulim

mine not out yet..

----------------

here's the link Vios 07 forum

like i said can try to register... last couple of weeks they have issue with email notification.. give it a try first...
if cannot... maybe i can try to post your problem there for you...

kuman

uihh like that also got ka?
i thought anti-rust is the standard but anti-gps?

i think maybe the tint laaa..
any possible way to test this before we commit with the tint on the front windscreen?

kuman

i think its the same as the previous J version, i saw it in the showroom the other day...

if its still working better transfer it.

kuman

i think you can get the conversion/adapter socket to avoid wire cutting from the accessories shop..
just make sure that they have it, i believe its around RM50 kot....

i saw one when i asked about changing the radio player.. but i havent found the need to change my player... yet...
