QUOTE(GarageSalesUser @ Jun 3 2018, 04:20 PM) Bluetooth will drain my phones battery life. Was thinking if I can play music through USB so that I can charge my phone whilst playing music.  If you really need to use the usb port, just get yourself a pendrive. Copy all your favorite songs to it. Can fit thousands for 16gb storage. No worry about cable and battery drainage.

QUOTE(danieltan @ Jun 4 2018, 05:07 PM) Mind to ask? Can I install OBD Foot Brake Auto Door? Will it void warranty for new car? Any item that does not fit by manufacturer will definitely void warranty. But, certain things can easily revert back to stock condition. However do take note, cables, bolts and nuts were marked to make sure they are not being tampered.

QUOTE(yeeyangyang @ Jun 5 2018, 04:00 PM) I have a question, i can see my vios meter there got Auto Cruise lamp. According one of my friend, said the Vios ECU got stock program. So my question is: Is that Vios ECU original support auto cruise? If yes, Why Toyota don't want to install for us? There is P&P cruise stick sell on market and there are some people installed. May i know is that really P&P? Check this post https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...entry88526061

QUOTE(Kilohertz @ Jun 6 2018, 08:46 AM) Looking for 1.5GX specs, any issues that I should be aware of this current model? Is there any rattling noise or suspension issues? regardless any specs, sooner or later you will face it. all depends on your luck. throughout all the variant, base build is the same. mine is g and i got the rattling sound from dashboard on day 1. now got many sound all around me. those sound hard to trace as it is intermittent and depends on variable road condition.

QUOTE(niaosuan @ Jun 7 2018, 02:00 AM) Any expert/user did installed ultra racing bar for 3rd gen BIOS, caused many said TRC may need to off once installed. I don't see how that relates. All those aftermarket bars are to hold the designated area in one place. To avoid movement for more stability. Trc, vsc and abs are for traction control. They are being control on the wheels. Trc - control traction when the car gaining speed Vsc - control traction while the car on high speed Abs - control traction when the car decreasing speed

QUOTE(niaosuan @ Jun 7 2018, 07:05 PM) I see. Cause of my fwen he said so. Another thing is does this void warranty, just asking I understand It is plug n play thing. as always, anything not fitted by manufacturer will void warranty. however, those bars can easily be removed. do take note, certain sc will put note to the service report on additional things installed.

QUOTE(musician88 @ Jun 11 2018, 01:18 AM) Hello want to ask some silly question. Can we use other brands engine oil other than toyota or use parts bought from spare part shop when servicing at the sc? Yes you can but they won't be responsible for anything happen to your engine.

QUOTE(halglory @ Jun 10 2018, 06:34 PM) Just got the car today, spent over a hundred bucks for HDMI Cable just to find out the video will stop once ebrake is disengaged. Has anyone tried to bypass the ebrake? Issit easy? Better spend money on aftermarket system. Else just mount tab or ipad and link the audio via Bluetooth. Save all the warranty problem and you can install any application to your liking.

QUOTE(kentbong92 @ Jun 19 2018, 11:19 PM) Anyone experience vios 2017 with self unlocking problem? Last Sunday I make sure my car is locked before I went up to my unit.. Normally we will hear the unlock sound of the door.. But just now when I press the unlock button on my key fob, only the signal lights indicator lit up, no door unlock sound.. When i pressed lock button again.. Then i heard door locking sound.. It seems the car unlocking it self? Anyone, any thought? Thanks.. yes, happened to me many times. turned out i totally forgot to lock my car. i may try to convince myself i really locked the door. just admit sometimes we human do forget. you thought you locked the door by seeing the lights or try to open the handle, sometimes those can be deceiving. the light you saw may not be the locking lights but rather unlocking lights. you thought you locked the door and test by pulling the handle but you may not notices you didn't fully pull the door handle. my statement is not for debate. just my personal opinion on what might actually happened.

QUOTE(yonghong @ Jun 22 2018, 05:48 PM) Some say Semi engine oil will be best for fuel consumption. Depends on viscosity of the oil. Thinner oil will have lighter and smooth engine running thus save petrol. On the other hand, at some point, your car will sound like a diesel engine.

QUOTE(dejiar @ Jun 25 2018, 04:28 PM) have done sending my car to outside service. cost less than RM150 rather than RM450. LOL btw, i found that the vios having this wired issue. 2013 version, steering macam slow respond ke very hard to spin. Exactly. You can risk your engine by paying less. Or get an official and guaranteed genuine parts. All within your budget. I did try and save but end up causing the engine more cost to repair. It is not a weird issue. 2013 is using electric power steering, not very responsive as hydraulic pump assist power steering.

QUOTE(piglover @ Jun 27 2018, 11:52 AM) In terms of fc, not worth to pump 97 coz a lot more expensive. Might as well save uo and pump few more litres of RON95. Mayb RON97 good for performance 👍 No significant improvement on performance. Just placebo effect. Mind in denial to compensate wasteful investment. For best engine efficiency, rules of thumb, just use the minimum ron recommended by engine manufacturer.
