Toyota Innova Owners & Discussions [continued 3]

[ParticleX]

Nabenta ko pa yung first gen 2015 Innova 2.5 V at 660K last 2022, sinabi ko di ako nag eentertain ng bayan sell though bayan-seller ang kumuha, closed deed of sale and gamitin daw niya muna.

Aside sa alternator pulley, never had issues with it.

[dr. d]

I talked to a seller and at the same he is also into buy and sell. He told me if I sell it to buy n sell they will get it at 300K for end user buyers the price is 350K pre-owned vehicle.

bayan sellers: "buy low, sell high", then settle for tawad.
some buyers feel they won, because their tawad was entertained.
win-win for both!
heh heh.

personally,
i do not mind buying a bit high, as long as the vehicle is problem-free.

Can anyone help me, point where in this console is the USB for the android auto or Apple carplay? Can't find it in the manual. Model is innova G

Oo nga! I thought that was an icon button part of the touch screen. Kasi yung icons sa taas nya eh touch screen din. Thank you!

Ayos! Hidden panel pala iyan. Dapat naka sulat ito sa hiwalay na HU owners manual.

Does the head unit in the 2023-24 Innova G have any sort of A/V composite input, besides the reverse camera and AUX (stereo) inputs?

Has anyone of you tried buying or installing front bumper that's made in taiwan (yung unpainted/itim ang kulay).
I can see these while browsing from FB Marketplace.
I'm planning to buy and replace my original but old front bumper. Madami ng battle scars, at the same time may mga tenga ng putol kaya bumibitaw na.
I already asked casa regarding this, and they quoted me more or less PHP 13k for the front bumper.
How was the fitment? Matibay kaya? Any feedback will help

Thank you!

No experience pero, I think it should be fine. The Innova (any model except the Zenix) has been in production for several years (AN140) or decades (AN40). I'm almost certain they've got the measurements down to OEM specs by this time.

Besides, if they only cost a fraction of the OEM bumper, I'd say go for it.

suggestion.
you might try the local sarplas shops. the items will probably be painted in the color of the donor wrecks they came from.
there's one such ad in carousell right now. 3K daw.

Since yung spare tire nasa labas ng sasakyan. Ano tawag dun sa lock na nilalagay sa spare tire para hindi manakaw? Kailangan pa nito or meron na 2024 model? Any suggestion kung ano brand maganda? Salamat.

Kami dati naglalagay ng chain lock ng motor or bike. Iba nakita ko literal na kadena at padlock.

Spare tire lock.

I had it installed in my then new Innova at the dealer way back 2015. It was expensive at 4.5k, if memory serves.

Pero andami na available sa online for both old and new Innova. I might need to get one as well for the new car when it arrives. Though, I'm not sure yet on the fitment.

Pangit ang fit ng taiwan replacement part. Medyo off ang clearances. Better bumili ka na lang ng original surplus. Mas maganda fit

as above,
if you want to go OEM-style, get a "spare tyre lock".

but i use an ordinary cheap bicycle lock that i bought from ace hardware.
buy the ugliest (cheapest) you want.
nobody except the would-be thief will see it, naman.

the way i see it,
the use of the gadget is to give the would-be thief the impression that he will have a difficult time stealing your spare tyre, and will logically opt to pass yours up.

good luck.

Hello po

Need your insights on AC maintenance. Is it good if I just have my rear AC cleaned, hindi na muna yung sa front

kasi baklas dashboard. My innova is 6 yrs old , AC not as cold as it was but still good for me.

also can you recommend AC shops in MM area na sanay na mabaklas ng Innova Dash. Sorry I have this old school

thought or fear baka pag nabaklas dashboard some might not work as well.

also other than seatmate saan mahusay and not so pricey mag pa upholster specifically leather seat cover.


Thank you

Parang sayang yung pagawa. There are "no baklas/dukot" AC cleaning if thats ok with you, pero di ako satisfied sa ganun.

Denso authorized shop, maayos magpalinis dun. Yun nga lang pag may papalitan na piyesa, gastos talaga. Coolmate yung alam ko.

Re: leather seatcover, quality comes at a price. Sulit na sulit sa seatmate. Slightly cheaper but offers the same quality and workmanship are seat tailors and MGSquare. Magkakapatid mga owners nila and have the same skilled workers.

i have a gen 1 innova.
it takes about slightly less than half a day to service the front aircon. if the rear aircon is to be serviced as well, inquire if the shop has a third person who will do it simultaneously. otherwise, 3/4 day yan lahat.

baka makuha sa aircon filter replacement?
have the aircon guys take a look at the other areas first... freon, condenser, drier, fan, etc. those areas are easily fixed, kasi.

when i finally had my 'nova's front aircon evaporator and under-bonnet aircon thingees brought down for cleaning (because it was over ten years old and still never been serviced), i saw that there was very little dirt in the evaporator. had i known it would be this clean, i would not have had it brought down.
old school axiom for aircons atbp: "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

rear evaporator is relatively easy. the difficult part is to remove that very heavy third row seat.
but you will still have to spend to have freon put in afterward, kahit rear lang ang lininis.

i have my aircons fixed at banawe. "de cajon" naman ang mga 'to; no trade secrets involved. besides, it's a toyota. maraming piyezas at maraming marunong.

strangely, for all that work that they did up front, less than 3K lang ang siningil.

good luck.


addendum.
i had my rear aircon serviced slightly after the warranty had lapsed.
may butas.
i tried to scrimp by favoring the non-oem part from taiwan, but it was bigger by a few mm, and wouldn't seat properly.
i ended up forced to purchase oem.
