Yaris Cross Excel

[Bluenose1940]

Can someone tell me if the SatNav gives live updates on roadworks and speed camera locations etc.

Many thanks.

Any comments on my last post please?

What is the road tax on the Excel?

How easy is it to hardwire a Dashcam and is the fusebox readily accessible?

Where is the best place to buy a spacesaver wheel kit.

Many thanks.

If you search the forum, you'll find most of those answers !!

Road tax I think is £170 assuming it's under £40k 😂. This info is available on Auto trader under Running Costs of any Yaris Cross Excel.

A PROPER Genuine Toyota Space Saver with all the parts to keep it safe in the boot. I'm not exactly sure if a space saver will fit in EVERY Yaris Cross, may depend on the spec.

Absolutely loads of videos on YouTube on how to hardwire dashcams, you may even find one for the Yaris Cross if you are lucky.

Searching the Forum and doing a wee bit of Google Research will answer most of anyone's questions 👍

Yes it does but not updated as rapidly as one might wish. Android Auto with Google mapping is perhaps better,  but Waze is best as the reports are from travellers and tell you how old the information is.

They all have weaknesses.   Waze the other day showed a road open and Google that it was shut.  The road closed signs suggested Waze was wrong. 

Unless you switch constantly between each you can't tell.

As I have just reported elsewhere,  Waze reports local roads choked with slow traffic and recommends the closed section of the A1 as there are no reports!
