16x6 bro? How much damage? Ano yan tires 225×50×16?

same lang sa stock sir. It's still Yokohama Aspec A300 205/65/15. Yung mags kasi pinili ko negative offset so medyo nakalabas yung wheels. Got the mags for P15k (set of 4) and the tires for 3700 each minus kunting tawad pa. hehe.

hay badtrip lang initial na registration after 3yrs nung innova namin, sabi dito sa LTO Bulacan wala raw record. kaya pinapupunta ako sa LTO muntinlupa.

Ano'ng ibig sabihin na wala silang record? Parang ang weird naman na same agency tapos di interconnected ang network nila?

Dun sa big body ko before, sa LTO San Pablo siya...then nag pa rehistro ako sa LTO Muntinlupa since yun ang malapit, wala naman naging issue...

you should ask the casa who did the registration, sir.
btw... you do have the registration papers... OR and CR..? the LTO branch concerned is on those papers, sir.

malamang hindi raw na input ng LTO muntinlupa nung niregister ito 3yrs ago. wala naman daw problema sabi sa bulacan yun nga lang kailngan ko pa pumunta ng muntinlupa.

usually magkano ba gastos pa rehistro ng innova?

meron naman or/cr, ang nangyari lang is niregister siya lto muntinlupa. tapos yung lto muntinlupa hindi raw nilagay sa database kaya hindi ako makapagrenew dito sa bulacan

My steering wheel control adapter arrived yesterday and I was able to have it installed today.


The "What's in the box" pic. The wiring guide printout came from the web (see description on the 2nd to the last pic)


Mounted the module with Velcro inside the glove box. This allows for easy access and programming through its USB port.


This is the steering wheel harness. Pinouts for the Innova are as follows; Blue=Gnd, White=SW2, Red=SW1. Ignore the purple wire.


Programming the module is through the web. Just select the car make/year/model, the type of steering wheel, and the aftermarket HU make/model, and it will generate a wiring guide that you can print. The process will then program the module to ensure that it can properly read the steering wheel buttons as well as talk to the HU.

Although, the product was designed primarily for vehicles and head units in the US and Canada, the wiring differences are quite minor and can easily be resolved by trial and error. This is especially true for the Innova, which is only available in Asia. The model I chose to have maximum compatibility is a 2011 Toyota Highlander. The reason being is that the base model uses the exact same steering wheel as the Innova. However, the pinouts were a little different (SW1 and SW2 pinouts were reversed on the Innova). Thank you, Toyota for confusing us.... for about 10 seconds. :D


What's good about the Maestro SW compared the the more popular PAC-SWI?

1. The Maestro SW can be programmed using USB through the Web. It has visual guides that is almost idiot-proof. The PAC-SWI on the other hand requires you to put a resistor during programming and involves a lot of LED blink-counting.
2. The Maestro has the ability to assign two functions to the same steering wheel button (see pic below). Short press = 1st function, Long press = 2nd function. You can potentially have 2x the function for a given set of buttons. The PAC-SWI only supports one function per button. Below is a wallet card "cheat sheet" that can also be printed to remind you what each of the buttons do.

Ask ko lang. Good advice ba kung i-trade ko yung stock ko to have new mags much cheaper or Should I keep it and buy new mags?

It depends.

If you keep the OEM rims, when the time comes to sell your Innova, you can put everything back to stock and then either reuse or sell the aftermarket mags.

But if you plan to sell the car later with the aftermarket mags installed, then there's no need to keep the OEM rims now.

I personally keep the OEM parts (ie. HU, lamps, speakers, etc.), so whenever I sell my car, I can put it back-to-stock and either sell the aftermarket parts or transplant them to another car.

mags only, or including the tires? tires daw have a safety lifespan..
if you don't need the money, if you have a decent place to store them in, keep 'em, sir..., because some buyers of used cars prefer bone-stock.
you can always sell them later, when you sell that innova.. or you can give it away "free", to sweeten the sale of the car later.

or you can advertise now! tingi! isa-isa!
many innova owners have a metal rim as their spare, because ninakaw yung spare mag nila.. including me!
errr... pareho ba yang G mags mo sa E mags ko?...

And Toyota is still not telling their unsuspecting customers until now...

My sister got her Innova last week and it was us who opened up the discussion to them for a spare tyre lock....

A couple of friends a few years ago who bought their Fortuners (same issue with the spare tyre not being secured) lost their spare tyres just a few days after they got their rides...
