Auris Hybrid Parking Aid System

April 26, 2011

Hi there..........having just taken delivery of my brand new Auris Hybrid last week (black metallic, privacy glass and protection pack). Can anyone tell me if it is possible to have the ''beep'' made louder when you select reverse when parking? The beep on my Auris is quiet to say the least, and if you have the radio on it is nearly impossible to hear the beeping noise! Am still getting to grips with the camera that appears in the rear view mirror when u select reverse!

As an aside.....when I took delivery of my car I queried the fact that there was NO stainless steel rear bumper protection plate fitted. The dealer was quite nonchalent and just said ''that's how it comes from the factory''. It turns out that I have the brochure dated October 2010 which clearly shows and states the rear bumper scuff plate being fitted........but would appear that the 'newer' brochure doesn't include the rear bumper protection plate! Am annoyed at the fact that this useful 'strip' has now been taken out of the protection pack!

Also.....can anyone help me with getting the contacts from my iPhone 4 into the bluetooth on the Auris Hybrid? I can see NO way of doing this other than manually inputting contacts, one at a time and using the fiddly select button to input the names and contact details. (My previous car, a Peugeot 207cc had bluetooth and ALL my contacts appeared on the bluetooth screen once I had paired my phone with it.....and the Peugeot was 3 years old and had that functionality!) If this is something that can't be done with the Auris....then i think this is a VERY sad omission by Toyota! if anyone can help me with the parking aid 'beep' question and more importantly the Bluetooth question I would be very appreciated.

Cheers

Steve

HI and welcome to toc.on most brochures in small print at the bottom they put a get out clause saying they retain the right to change the spec at any time of a model advertised as part of their continuing improvement of their product.

if you put your questions in the auris forum i am sure you get he advice you need.
