Here’s some pictures of my 5 hours of paint work yesterday! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

You could try spraying a dry silcone lubricant on the door seals and anywhere you think the noise might be coming from.

Yes, after a very serious and expensive clean of the fuel systems!

This I would tend to agree with. The camera can be re-calibrated which probably affects other features but I don't see it for RSA which is an image recognition system, re-programming the system now ... Having said that, my car has a system from Continental AG & the Prius has a system from Denso - 2 of the largest & market-leading oem electronics designers/suppliers for auto manufacturers & neither system works perfectly, yet. I am still unconvinced that there is really a need for a system such as this for a human driver (no doubt autonomous cars will need one) & any competent driver driving in the UK should know that e.g. a 130mph speed limit being shown is in error & ignore it.

For clarification: 1). Toyota Owners Club is a separate entity to Toyota and neither represents Toyota nor has any connection with Toyota. There is a disclaimer to this effect on the Home page and at the bottom of each page. 2). There are two Toyota dealer employees who contribute to the forums - Parts-King and Devon Aygo. Parts-King works for Lindop Toyota, one of the club's sponsors, and can provide Toyota parts at a small discount to TOC members. Devon Aygo is one of the moderators, and contributes both as a member and moderator voluntarily. 3). Other staff including myself are Toyota owners. My background is in contract management and procurement for National Government. 4). Toyota themselves won't contribute directly to these forums, and we don't know whether they even visit the forums. If you're unhappy with any of the above, perhaps Toyota Owners Club isn't for you.

Yes, I've had this noise on our Auris and Avensis, silicone spray lube on the rubber door seals stopped it on both.

Hi my opinion of the RSA being dangerous is based on when first used the driver has no idea how inaccurate it is .Once used for a time you can chose to ignore it .

and perhaps I should also mention that when I sold my 2nd Gen 1 Prius at 9 years old with 163,000 on the clock, it still had an original 12V battery. Also, the engine and HV battery were performing perfectly, except it had started to need a little oil after 100,000 miles (by the time I sold it, it got close to MIN about 7,000 miles after a service, and 1L carried it through to the next. The guy who bought it traded in used Hybrids and also maintained the HV systems. It became his wife' car for a couple of years and he then sold it to a customer. I got the odd update when he serviced it once a year and apparently at 180,000 miles and about 12 years old the HV battery started giving problems. He dismantled it, checked which sticks of cells had failed, matched them with spares from written off cars he'd bought and AFAIK the car is still in daily use. He has reported a few other cases of HV battery failure on 2000-2003 Gen 1s and a few 2004-2006 pre-facelift Gen 2s, many of which he's been able to rescue. My own dealer had a customer bring in a Gen 1 with a failed HV battery and he didn't want the cost of fixing it and asked the dealer to dispose of the car. I put them in touch with the guy who bought my Gen 1, and he got the car to drive well enough to get it home and fixed it up. I'm also aware of two cars that had the HV battery killed after the driver put diesel in it, and let the Hybrid system try to start the ICE so many times it flattened the battery enough to terminally damage it. Once of those was a 2006 Gen 2 and in 2007 the cost of a new battery had fallen to about £2,200 (from around £5,000 in the very early days).

I'd be too scared taking on a car that's been treated that well! Good luck with the detailing and get some pics up after . .

It depends on how much modification is needed to mount the speaker. I have seen a this video -
