Isn't that the plural of Prius? 😉

Hi all, I’m getting ready to purchase a new Toyota to replace a 2002 Toyota Echo. This will be a huge upgrade. Currently deciding between a Yaris Cross and Corolla Cross. I’ve started to read the manual a bit for both 🙂 I came here to make a post about some region specific roof rack options as details are a bit hard to find. Hope you have a nice day

Mostly, I'll my son help he during removal/install of the gearbox. I'll have my diy tranny adaptor on the hydraulic jack to lower/raise the gearbox.

Hi all, I’m based in Australia and am looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car. I believe our model differs from the UK and is similar to the Japanese model our at least made in Japan On the website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however in Australia I don’t see any official listing (Third party available) Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” (Sounds like the Australian model) but I’m a bit hesitant to use a Third Party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts

Prii?

The OP drives a bZ4X. The Inrix system is working fine on my RAV4. I know nothing of Prii ... 😉

Just dont. There is nothing available atm that means you wont lose out.

This bit isnt quite correct. older models setup to use TM only are not INRIX capable due to head unit limitations (this includes all Prius gen4 2016-2022) happy to accept that a BZ4X may be compatable. But neither I ot the OP drive that car.

Welcome to TOC Flavio.

Carplay hud integration is sketchy by model. In most yes. It passes the “map” app of choice to the second screen on the hud, so if it works for applemaps/googlemaps it works for tom tom

In what respect? I use car wash products, mostly Autoglym. Will add photo tomorrow.

Strange, I thought they came with Continental's from the factory. They usually design the suspension and geometry with a specific brand an model in mind so fitting a different brand can result in a different ride characteristic or wear pattern.

Hi Flavio, welcome to the TOC. Great choice of car, you will love it.

🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦 This is really really going to annoy the **** out of me. Wonder how it's implemented on other cars?

Some folks saying that even switching to visual only warning on the new model is not permanent. It switches back. Could do with a definitive answer.

Hi, The user manual indicates that it is possible to send location or trip information from a phone using the NaviBridge app. Has anyone successfully done this? Despite my phone being paired, the app reports that there is no connection. Regards, V

A bit paranoid? If you don't want to give the actual county pick one adjacent - not random, but not much help with tracking. But I don't entirely disagree with your stance. There should be a 'UK' or maybe the four countries options. I often give a somewhat false DoB and/or address on sites that clearly have no need to know or ask for that info.

No sign on mine. 20k miles. Washed it probably no more than 5 times in the last 2.5 years. 😂

Well, we have been talking about battery and my one has died today. 🪫🪦 The symptoms above I had for over 3 years now and no surprises it died today after 13.5 years and 273000 miles covered. Off to Toyota tomorrow for a new battery but if they don’t have then will buy just anything of this size and specs, perhaps from Eurocarparts. The agm batteries seems been fitted for longevity rather than safety as been discussed here many times before. Most new Toyota cars comes with non agm and batteries are often fitted inside the car under the rear seat so I don’t see an issue to have a Bosch standard battery instead of Yuassa agm. Left on charger for overnight to see if I can use the car to go get new battery or i may need to use a transport.

It doesn't look like the Solid White, so must be pearlescent white.. white was on my shortlist, so either would have been fine.

Hi there, Definitely don't think it's the valves. I could be wrong. To me it's lower on the engine. Looks like there is an egr cooler on top to the right. And the noise looks below this and to the back. I know you can get ticking noises as such from a malfunctioning egr solenoid etc. Or from leaking exhaust manifold gaskets etc. it's really hard to pin point as it's only really noticeable when driving. If you rev the engine with the bonnet open it's hard to hear it as well. Anyway just suggesting these things. Could be valves, but from my past experiences I wouldn't say so. And the noise is not at the front of the engine to be the valve gear. Happy to check the valves this weekend. And I'll investigate other things. It's not impacting the performance. Just the noise is discerning.

Modern chargers do seem to be able to get some decent life back into a seemingly defunct 12v battery. The other car in the family is an EV which locked me out one day, all electrics dead. Recharged with a charger I had had a number of years and all OK for a month, then dead again. Bit the bullet and got a modern charger (NOCO) and recharged for a few hours, worked OK but dead again after a month or so. Put it on charge for a couple of days and no problems for the last two years. All recharges done on the bench using the default setting. With the current RAV4 the battery in the boot means that you can hook up a charger to a portable power station (campers/country dwellers) so no trailing cables.

Ignition.

Hi Flavio, Welcome to our forum. Congratulations on your new coming Yaris.... Very popular cars for long years now. I had the 2016 hybrid, great saving in fuel, specially if you leave the EV button on. I am tall and big guy, and did get in and out, and fit in well inside it..... You will love it...

Welcome to the TOC, Flavio. ☺️ You will find a ton of useful information here from the folks on here
