Where in Innova will you mount the rear camera of dash cam?

hide it under the narrow roof beside the plate light?

[sirkosero]

The rear camera is not waterproof, if it is mounted outside, it might get damaged shortly.

I have been thinking to mount it inside the car under the brake light in the tailgate, my dash cam is still on delivery, I can't test to see what image will be captured.

Never had that problem in 2 years that the camera is there

mga paps, share ko lang na experience ko sa unit ko last sunday. i own a 2011 innova G D4D. nagsimba kasi kami, so i parked. tagal lang naka idle engine ko ng hindi pa ako nakaka park kasi ang tagal lumabas ng mga sasakyan nung unang mass kasi palm sumday diba, masikip. kaya medyo matagal akong nag antay. nung naka park na ako in-off ko na engine tapos bumaba na ko sa sasakyan. nung i llock ko na, i pressed the lock button in the remote of the key, hindi nag lock. pinindot ko din yung unlock button, di din nag function kasi hindi umilaw. nung pinindot ko ulit yung lock, i pressed the lock button 2 seconds then it locked same thing with the unlock button. di sya ng lock ng isang pindutan lang, i hhold pa yung button. tapos i started ulit the engine, nilipat ko parada ko. tapos nung i llock ko na doors ulit, pinindot ko lock sa remote ng key, ok na ulit. isang pindutan lang nag lock at unlock na sya, i tried lock and unlock 3x, ok naman na siya ulit.

may naka experience na ba sa inyo ng ganun mga paps? anu kaya naging problema sa key at hindi nag function agad to lock and unlock? imposible namang battery kasi 5 months pa lang unit ko eh.

thanks for the feed back.

You can mount it on the garnish above the plates where the platelights are located. That part of the rear door is not sheet metal. Some install it by the left platelight and route the wiring of the camera via the platelight too.

Actually, if you look below to look at the platelights as if you are going to change the platelight bulbs, look to the left part of the left platelight. You will notice a part which is creased in a shape of a square, parang may abang. That's where the OEM reverse camera are installed in other countries. Though if you ask the dealer to install an OEM camera I doubt they will use that "abang" as in the other countries the camera comes equipped from the factory, hence the square cut-out.

That's where you mount the reverse camera. The rear feed for the dashcam should be mounted higher up, like under the 3rd brake lamp (inside the vehicle). This will give it a higher vantage point and see more of the surroundings. At this height, it's also less susceptible to headlamp glare from the vehicles behind you.

Guys, I scanned this thread, parang ako lang ang gumagamit ng Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 Diesel Fully Synthetic motor oil. My odo now is 60k automatic 2010 diesel.

I am attached to Shell brand. Ok ba itong 5W-40 Helix Ultra? This is the most expensive in the brand line-up for diesel at Shell. I saw someone here who posted using 5W-30, pero wala namang 5W-30 nowadays sa Shell. It's just 5W-40.

I change oil every 10k. I watched ChrisFix and Scotty on YT, both of them said changing oil every 5k is waste of money if it's fully synthetic.

Again, ok ba ang 5W-40 for Innova Diesel 60k odo?

You may check the manual of your vehicle.

But some Toyota service centers recommend every 6 months (if I am not mistaken) or 10K whichever comes first. For some, it takes more than 6 months before they reach 5K km. So, pasok pa din sa recommendation ng ibang mga casa. Lastly, I think, Shell Helix 5W-40 is ok since it is a reputable oil company. But for those vehicles that are still under the warranty period, better follow casa's recommendation by using the Toyota motor oil.

[first_light]

Inabot din ng 10 months yung 10k. City driving lang.

First time ko kase mag oil change sa labas. Sa casa kase sinasabi lang Genuine Toyota Motor Oil, hindi na sinasabi yung specs.

Saka may bad experience ako dyan sa Toyota Alabang. Sabi ko Synthetic ang ilagay noong 40k. Hindi ko na ni-review yung job order hanggang matapos kasi tiwala ako casa eh. Aba, nung binalik ko na after 10k saka ko lang na-review na Mineral pala yung nilagay! Isipin mong tinakbo ko ng 10k yung Mineral.

Nag-reklamo ako dun sa service advisor, alibi lang sinabi sakin, Mineral daw yung inenter sa computer pero Synthetic daw talaga yung nilagay. Niloko pa ako para hindi na lumaki yung issue. Kaya sa labas nako nagpa oil change, atleast nakikita ko yung langis mismo na nilalagay.

Dapat doon ka sa casa na pwede mong ma-view sasakyan mo para nakikita mo kung FS nga o hindi nilalagay. Pero since, hindi na under warranty sasakyan mo, pwedeng ikaw na mag change oil on your own. Or just hire someone whom you know how to do it for a small fee. Pwede din sa mga reputable gas station.

Mga bossing, my 2008 Innova G A/T Gas has reached 130K ODO, I dont remember having changed the timing belt. When should it be changed? How much would it cost?

The gas engine do not have timing belts. Its is timing chain and do not need periodic replacements

The diesel engine's timing belt should be replaced at around 80k kms

diesel has timing belt. the check-and-replace intervals are in the owner's manual. i forgot about it, but finally had mine changed at 128K km at the casa. 11+K bucks. i could probably have had it done elsewhere, but tinamad nako...
i thought the gas had timing chain. if so, "no need to replace".

This is what I understand too, based on the manual.

Where in Innova will you mount the rear camera of dash cam?

I purchased an Anytek T25 dash cam supplied by Lucky HR, https://luckyhr.ph.com/, during the Lazada sale in December.

I purchased this dash cam because Anytek produces many different types of dash cam and they have a office in Shenzhen, http://www.szanytek.com/ and in Philippines, Anytek Philippines, but the quality of the dash cam is disappointing.

1. During normal driving, the video recorded by the rear view camera shows the car is moving in the opposite direction, i.e. when the car is moving towards south, the video shows the car is moving towards north.

2. When shifted to Reverse gear, the image in video recorded by the rear camera is vertically mirrored, i.e. objects on the right side appear on the left side and objects in the left side appear on the right side.

The model number of the dash cam is T25, I checked against Anytek website in Shenzhen and in Philippines, there is no T25.

I wrote to Lucky HR, telling them the fault, but they do not respond.

Could the dash cam supplied by Lucky HR be fake?

I am sure the fault is not caused by wrong wiring, Is there any method to rectify this fault?.

My story about the Anytek dash cam continues.

The dash cam was installed on 21th Dec, this morning, my wife started the car, the small image taken by the rear view camera did not show, I on/off, rest , plug/unplug the dash cam, the image still did not show, I am sure the rear view camera imaging function is dead.

Unfortunately, I have received the cam 7 days, I cannot get refund.

Anyone here with the new 2016-2018 Innova (AN140) with Keon Sondra LED headlights installed? I am looking to upgrading the stock H11 headlight from halogen to LED. My choices are the Philips Ultinon Essential H11 and the Keon Sondra KS70 equipped with the Cree XHP70 LED.

The Philips is cheaper but are needed to be ordered from far away, while the Keon Sondra has a dealer nearby and more readily available but a bit more expensive. Though the cost is negligible, I am more concerned about the brightness and the beam pattern cut-off of the respective bulbs when fitted on the AN140 Innova. I want considerably brighter illumination whilst not glaring anyone on the road.

I was inclined to purchase the Keon Sondra because it is seemingly recommended by every customer of theirs and I have yet to see a bad review about them. Then I saw the Philips and it seemed to be a good buy as well.


Which of the two would you consider better? Or what are your thoughts about your purchase of one of these if you have not yet compared them to other LEDs? Is the cut-off good? Is the bulb bright enough to be considered an upgrade from halogens?

I hope anyone with experience in changing their H11 headlight bulbs to these LEDs can chip in their experience.
