Innovaboy, Ikaw 1st to have Innova here diba? Do you encounter problem w/ the battery? Parang mahina na yata yong Battery ko. Lalo na sa morning.

larshell, my Innova Gas is now 1 year & 5 months and have run 28,500 kms. My battery (I think its Motolite) is still OK. One click pa rin sa starting even in the morning.

Hi all! Just joined the forum. My commander in chief (wife) got an Innova J-VVTI, ODO reading is at around 850 km. Has anyone noticed na yung aircon sa rear, medyo matagal lumamig? Lumalamig din naman after mga 3 minutes. Are you experiencing the same problem? Yung front a/c works fine. Another query, in case gusto namin palitan yung stock na metal reams into mags, may bibili pa ba nito plus the hub caps? Dito sa Alabang area ay wala may gusto bumili nito. Sayang naman so my kumander just opted to keep the metal reams.

Anyway, as regards undercoating, I had it done at Shell for PhP 2,600.00 although beware because di uniform ang pricing ng Shell. Punta kayo doon sa medyo mura ang rental at wag sa mga prime areas. One Shell station wanted to charge me PhP 3,500. It took the whole day and three coatings ang nilagay. I would recommend that you do it on a sunny day para matuyo kaagad yung undercoat. I likewise bought a huge matting (PhP 450.00) para sa rear portion ng Innova and I had it shaped to conform to the shape ng flooring. That way, you can protect the carpet sa rear where most of the stuff are loaded.

As regards Toyota Dealers, we got it from Toyota Bicutan and we got a 3M tint for free, 3 years LTO registration, seat cover, mat, Mapfre compre Insurance, mud guards, muffler cutter, and the sidings. I think I added a few thousands because I insisted on Mapfre Insurace. Please note that there is a PhP 25,000.00 rebate that you can get for every purchase and bahala na kayo what items to get basta magkasya sa 25K. I do not suggest that you avail of free insurance. They normally get a really sucky provider (I will not mention the name anymore). Get this on your own and max the 25k on other items/services. For Insurance, I have been a loyal Mapfre customer although make sure that the owner's participation is clear to you. My other cars insured at Mapfre had the owner's participation at PhP 2,000.00 while the one I had for Innova is at PhP 7,000.00. Also, please have the "acts of nature" covered because you will never know kung kelan kayo mababaha (God Forbid) and malulubog yung units nyo (it happened to me and 2 cars were affected!).

As regards the wiper sa rear window, Instead of installing one (on J models), I would suggest that you just purchase this chemical that makes the water bounce off the glass. Covered pa yung entire rear glass and hindi limited portion lang.

Yung power windows for the J, wala pa daw.

One last thing, Di ko pa na-try to but I heard that if na-lock yung keys and remote mo sa loob ng kotse, what you can do is call your yaya on the cellphone sa bahay (if you have a spare remote at home) and while your talking on the phone, have your yaya press the unlock key (mas malapit sa mobile phone nya, mas ok). The person who discovered this claims na yung signal ng remote will travel through your cellphone connection and unlock your vehicle. Kung may magta try nito and mag work, paki timbre lang po.

Cheers!

Dre,
Yung AC sa rear its normal, its even longer if your car is parked in open spaces. for the insurance, it may be too expensive for a J variant, 7000k. but maybe due to inclusion of damaged due to flood. anyway on the remote issue, most car alarm system uses RF (analog signal) or radio frequency which operates at very low spectrum or bandwidth while most of the mobile uses 2G or GSM or 3G signal (they are at the 800 MHZ to 1800 MHZ bandwith). so the signal coming from your remote key cannot be transmitted into your cellphone. well masyado malalim pa explanation but just a simple analogy, a simple radio has two bandwith an AM and FM both cannot transmit & operate at same bandwith coz of signal interfrence issue. But dont worry in not so distant future, we will have the car remote/GPS integrated in the cellphones as well.
