2014 Corolla Altis - Technical, Features & Use

[Prosumer]

I just got this new ride lately.

 

Anyone got a work around for getting the "car finder" sound installed in this model?

My previous altis was the 2009 model; miss the sound when I lock/unlock the car, and especially when I forgot where I park in a big parking space. How to get those "sound" back? What and where can I install similar gadgets? Thanks!

Interesting. Which model HU you using?

 

Anyway update on first tank of petrol 14.1km/L based on manual calculation. The display is actually quite accurate.

Think it's the same one. The one with the volume button on the right corner.

Quite good fuel consumption for yours too

5D carbon this is how it turns out.

Nice.

I see the additional Usb port too. Is that difficult to do?

there is already a USB output on the HU.  Do you need another?

Nice! got 2 questions:

1) what is the charging amp of the USB?

2) how is the port being secured such that it can withstand the pressure when we insert the cable into the port?

 

[Silveraltis]

Haha dont ask me questions i dont have the answers too. But for q2 its hard durable so far it has been charging smoothly even though it may seem loose. For q1 got to ask the owner of the shop.

Standard USB connector's design lifetime is 1,5000 insertion/removal cycles.  

At 2 insertion/removal cycles per day,  that will approximate to be slightly more than 2 years.

 

Standard USB output is 5V.

Some of the newer smartphones supports quick charging which takes about 30mins to charge from 0% - 50%.

There are cigarette socket chargers which supports this.

That USB on the head unit quite unsightly if using to charge anything.

 

I'm actually looking to place the charger close to the ignition area, since I clip my phone there.

 

There are a lot of empty "slots" on the car. Thinking to utilize those. BM took in a v basic model

Your maths sala.

 

Should be more than 20 years if 2 x a day at 15000 gross.

2 x 365 = 730 times per year.

Maybe you mean 1,500 instead?

the standard car charger sold outside tend to have 2 output - 1A and 2.1A similar to a lot of those powerbank.
