just checked with them, they said they don't sell and install that new radio separately as accessories, they only provide it pre-installed upon placing order for the new vehicle.  shakehead.gif

The E and G spec have the same player model. Looks like the same model that was installed to the S'pore variant.
Perhaps can find seller in auto garage sales.

I'm driving a 07 Vios G (NCP92).

I plan to change my number plate light to LED.

May I know is T10 LED compatible with the car?

yeah... should be similar to Singapore's G spec player... but then if G spec, need to change the panel also cos the previous one is integrated... tempted to change... maybe can give stockist a call later tongue.gif

kenji, do update us on the price for the new player.
Let me know if you plan to sell to other members in here.
I predict the price is less than 1K coz it's not touch screen.

dunno if its just pure bad luck...

my vios only 11.8 months old..(not yet 1 year) and have so many problems d.

now timing belt morning cold start got noise... and my brake noise since 3 months old until now not solved.

also not forgetting my dashboard rattling nnoise...until now!!!!! wtf.

thinking to sell it and get a conti sleep.gif

I own a 2006 vios, and I faced similar problems..

1. Morning-time 'timing belt' cold start noise
- not sure if it's the same or not, but for me, I faced screeching noise when I start the engine.
- of course, vios doesn't have engine timing belt but we use timing chain.
- because the screeching sound is normal for other cars, and it's usually associated with timing belts.
- sent to toyota service centre and they confirmed it's the belting sound, came from my aircond belting.
- re-adjusted aircond belting and fixed the noise for free, since they checked that the condition was still okay.
- after few months, the screeching noise came back again and i changed the aircond belting to a new one.
- no more screeching sound.

2. Brake noise
- Mine had to face the sound as if brake pad got stuck.
- It sounded like more severe when I try to take a corner or just swerve left-right a bit (which convinced me it's the brake).
- Serviced brake few times but the noise still exists, even more 'harder' sound in morning time or when it's heavy rain,
especially yesterday.
- This morning my wife sent the car to toyota service, and the guy mentioned about power steering belting.
- Googled it up and it looks to be similar issue faced by other vios owners.
- Re-adjusted the belting and today will be the 'trial run' to see if that solves the problem.
- The SA adviced that usually brake-related issues happen when we actually use it, thus he asked whether any noise exist when we actually pressed the brake pedal (which was not the case actually).

3. Dashboard rattling noise happens to vios '07 i think.. mine is okay.

*just sharing in laymen terms due to my inexperience/less passion on cars, just want to drive it and have a peace of mind.

there are two belts that needs to be maintained.
One is Alternator belt
One is Air Cond belt

one at the top pulley, one below

have your mechanic check which one is causing the noise, have them changed and it will be quiet like previously.

P.S: Last year my mechanic tighten+replaced the wrong belt for me,
sound keep on annoying me during start up and raining..in the end i check myself and identified its the belt for below pulley doh.gif

not only this latest 2-DIN radio, even the AVX and AVN DVD players also, they said they don't sell it as accessories, they only will install it for those who ordered during the new vehicle purchase.

I ordered new, according to the brochure it should be the new player. I write an official complaint letter to toyota but seems no action taken yet... shakehead.gif
