Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[jresperanza]

an old-timer advised me how to test the tyre for out of round.

over-inflate the tyre a bit.
then dis-mount the wheel from the car.
roll it on a flat, smooth cement surface.
it it does not roll straight, "it's the tyre".

na ibalik ko na, pag katapos nila ayusin yung kumakabig pa kaliwa, tinest drive at kumakanan naman, binalik ulet sa alignment, ngayon oks na. naka pula ang front L and R tow at right camber, yung left camber lang ang nasa green - pero yung total toe direction niya from going right ay naka straight na, ngayon diretso na takbo ng sasakyan namin

ang sakit sa ulo pala i align ito innova, baket kaya???

bale nung brandnew namin ito na bili nung july 2021, ganito ganito din, off center at kumakanan simula day 1, tapos inalign at kumabig sa kaliwa, inalign ulet nag road test at kanan naman ulet ang kabig, binalik sa alignment ulet at ni road test, ayun nag okay na... (syempre sakit sa ulo mag claim sa toyota ng warranty ng wheel alignment kase sabi nila wala daw problema yung sasakyan at hindi covered ng warranty ang wheel alignment kahit na ba bnew siya which is totoo naman pala at malinaw sa warranty booklet na hindi nga kasali sa warranty ang wheel alignment)

i do not know.
perhaps the aligners were at fault...?
did they follow model-specific manufacturers' specs, or did they follow generic specs?

in front-wheel-drive cars, the front wheels are usually a bit toed-out.
in rear-wheel drive cars, the front wheels are usually a bit toed-in.

hindi fault nung aligner siguro, sinusunod lang nila nakikita nila sa computer kase na picturan ko pa na naka green lahat ng results. tska si toyota dealership din nag ka ganito din na di nila nakuha ang alignment ng isa shot lang kahit 1 day old pa lang ang unit namin, inabot din ng 3 attemps bago umandar ng diretso.

sayang di ko na picturan yung final results nung 3rd attempt na naka red yung mga parameters, akala ko kasi babalik pa ako pagkatapos ng road test kase sasablay pa din...

bale nung pina service ko ang gulong, rotate, balance, wheel alignment dahil 10t km na, naging off center siya at may kabig sa kanan (may picture ako ng alignment results)

1st attempt | off center ulet, sa kaliwa naman ang kabig (may picture ako ng alignment results)
2nd attempt | off center ulet, sa kanan ulit ang kabig (wala ako picture kase nilabas na nila yung sasakyan sa parking at may iba na naka sakay sa alignment machine)
3rd attempt | okay na at diretso na | wala ako picture ng alignment results pero nandun ako sa alignment machine kase nakulitan na yata yung technitian at pinakita sa akin yng nasa computer nila habang naka sakay ako sa driver seat hawak ang manibela na naka diretso. dun sa computer before alignment nakalagay ang total toe direction papunta kanan, habang lahat ng parameters ay di naman gumalaw ang kulay mula red to green kase hinihintay ko mag green lahat. ang nag bago lang ay yung total toe direction mula kanan ay ngayon diretso na. tinanong lang sa akin kung gumalaw ba daw yung steering wheel, sabi ko hindi kase hawak ko. binaba na yung sasakyan sa alignment machine at pina test drive. okay na...

palagay ko di na niya sinunod yng alignment machine specs, ginamitan na niya ng experience

2KD first gen

Laging nagfafactory reset yung AVT/Toyota 2DIN head unit. Nireplace na dati during warranty pero after several years bumalik sa ganito.

Likely may internal battery or cap na nagreretain ng settings pero wala ako makitang schematic online.

Looking to replace it with kahit 1DIN pero dapat gumagana pa rin yung steering wheel controls. Kung 2DIN naman prefer may Carplay pero not really a requirement. Mas maganda wala splicing. Any head unit recommendations?

[ParticleX]

kumuha na lang ako ng head unit from an E innova, since gusto ko maretain yung steering wheel controls and di ko naman kailangan ng display talaga. added bonus is it's cheap, and plug and play lang from the old unit so na DIY ko siya.

di na nagrereset ng settings, and everything works at the moment except for bluetooth calls.

i can receive or initiate a call from the vehicle, pero the other party can't hear me. i can confirm na yung mic hole nung head unit is clean. na set ko na yung volume settings of the head unit to right values pero wala pa din. any ideas? or pwede ba magkabit ng external mic dito?

[ParticleX]

okay na... have to adjust lang yung volume sa phones mismo. apparently pag mag pair ng new device, yung bluetooth call volume defaults to low. rookie mistake

happy with the purchase. wala na nga lang line out for an amplifier. upgrade ko na lang yung front separates, may ma recommend kayo?

I'm about to do wheel alignment to my vehicle but the service center told me to replaced the right front side wheel bearing first before we can proceed. So I check different brand such as JPS (made in Thailand) and NSK (Japan brand but made in China?) which one should I get? price wise not so much in difference.

at least made in japan for me.
inquire from casa, siguro. then see if you can purchase the same item, from banawe.

or,
do what we used to do.
if we were satisfied with our outgoing bearing, we just look at it and see what brand and model it is, and look for the exactsame item as replacement.
japan, as well as top US and european brand names.
"ask the shopkeeper, po." they know what brands are oem, reliable replacement, or pang bayan seller.

I inquire with Aerodynamics price is Php2,450 original they don't carry other replacement brand so I ask other shops other replacement brand cost Php1,600 so that is the comparison. If other replacement brand is equally as good as oem then I will go for it.
