But remote folding of side mirrors to be more than basic nowadays. Hahaha.

They would rather to fit in the toyota safety sense P than to have the remote folding of side mirrors. 😞

And we are not talking bread and butter car like Vios and Altis. Camry is a mid size executive sedan. Hahaha.

 

This I agree. At this level they still leave it out. Toyota really damn stingy on such stuff.

Wonder if anyone here did fix the folding mirrors after getting the car.

I guess Aussie care about Toyota Sensing more than folding of side mirrors.

I think they call the toyota one,  toyota safety sense . Honda Sensing. 😛

Its more like a safety feature ba. When not all the variant have it, the complaint was not every one lives costs the same.

Thanks for the correction.

All version received the same Toyota Safety Sense (Lane Departure Alert, Pre-Collision Safety System with pedestrian detection, Automatic High Beam and All-Speed Active Cruise Control)

No issues. Comfortable, quite peppy in normal mode and decent in ECO. 

I do a lot of short drives so my FC isn't very good. Current tank is about 17km/L but on longer runs can easily get 20-23km/L. 

I'm enjoying the ride and having to visit the petrol station less than half of what I needed to before. 

To be honest I think the car is a bit too big and would have been better with the Corolla or Altis hybrids. Oh well, each ride in enjoyable so look fwd to your car.

Oh yes, did you get apple car play & android auto on your new ride? its listed on the Aussie site already.

My car is too old to have the upgraded head unit. PI installed a 3rd party interface that allows Android Auto

Brought a Camry hybrid from a PI. I’ve to paid for my own repair for the shock absorber even though it was mentioned that it comes with three years warranty. The PI just doesn’t wants to honour the warranty . So buyers just take note.

Can share what wrong with your suspension?

Good enough alternative. ~

[Hotnyh]

On Friday, my 8" stock head unit failed to display the usual Toyota start up screen/ battery status/ reverse camera display. However when I plugged in my phone I could still access Android Auto.

 

After some Googling I found out that you can reset the head unit by pressing and holding the power button for a few seconds. I had to do this a few times but eventually it went back to normal. Phew.

 

Anyway, now you know what to do if this happens to your car. 

[Drivingbirdie]

Can the head unit be completely replaced? For one which has Carplay?

Or does the Ascent version already have Carplay now?

[Hotnyh]

The new Aussie spec cars should have Car Play and Android Auto built in already.

You can replace the headunit with a standard 2 DIN one like in the JDM G spec models if you buy the dashboard adaptor.

In USA, this  ALL-NEW model was introduced in 2018, facelift should come next year in 2021.

For Australia (where the PI stock comes from) and local, it was introduced around early 2019, so expect facelift to come earliest end 2021.

How do you access carplay from your HU? It is through pressing mode button for 3 seconds? Or through the menu settings?

thanks

The dealer installed an interface kit (I never saw it). The USB cable is a separate one that pops out from inside the glove compartment. 

To access the Android Auto mode I press the Home button for a couple of seconds. A quick press will bring on the Home screen only.
