All new Toyota Rush/ Daihatsu Terios

[small4ward]

May nakakaalam po ba dito kung paano i-bypass yung headunit ng rush kapag engaged yung handbrake similar sa dd vsp error off ng honda? kailangan kasi naka-handbrake kapag maga-add ng bluetooth device or manonood ng video eh.

i haven't tried it, but i am confident the casa knows how. i just do not know if they are "allowed" to do it.
sometime back, someone mentioned that a certain casa does it, after owner signs a document assuming full responsibility.

they can only replace the badge outside, but they can not replace the badge inside.

Yes and most likely it came off the assembly line at the Astra Daihatsu plant in Indonesia.

Doc what's your opinion on rebadged Daihatsus? Do you still think the Wigo/Avanza/Rush carry the same vaunted reliability as the pureblood Toyotas?

I'm asking because you frequently tout the brand perception of Toyota as a key factor for purchase yet you also acknowledge that the rebadged Daihatsus aren't real Toyotas on the inside.

Toyota owns a 51% controlling stake at Daihatsu, so i guess Toyota’s reliability should somehow rub into them.

i do not believe that the mother company would wholeheartedly transfer all its secrets in building cars, to the new acquisitions. daihatsu probably got some help from toyota. that's a given. but in what department, and how much, i don't know.
my feeling is that toyota chose to re-badge some local daihatsus as toyotas, so that they will sell more of them. i also have this sneaky feeling, that re-badging is all toyota did. that the product is thru-and-thru, a daihatsu.
in other countries, isn't toyota letting daihatsu keep its identity?

i gambled on the wigo, because "the price was right". i also believed that toyota would stand behind it and support it.
and so far, except for a few minor chinks that i don't see in my toyota, i am happy with it. is toyota responsible for its reliability? is daihatsu reliable as it is, without help from toyota? i don't know.

corporate thinking. it's probably a lot more complicated to those who weren't in on the courtship.
