may be some useful info here wrt connections, pin no's, etc. Its a different model, year & head unit but some principals may still apply, worth a read. http://www.rav4world.com/forums/98-4-3-interior/105410-display-rear-camera-factory-nav-screen.html

I bought one for my LC3 (not same as in the link) from China a few years back, on paper it did everything. In reality, it did everything astonishingly badly except for the satnav whose software had no doubt been copied from someone who did put in the work. I was lucky where my unit had a fault...

The rear view camera was offered as an option on the Lc5 so in theory anyway it could be a simple enough install. The Toyota camera was possibly £500+ when I checked and thats if it could still be got if even just to look at for comaprison sake. I dont imagine theres any good reason for it to be...

Sorry, cant help on this one but I would be interested in hearing how you get on as I know of an Lc5 with the std satnav screen setup which could benefit from a rear camera. Slightly off topic, I installed a camera onto my Lc3 aftermarket headunit, it switches automatically to the camera...

as above, LC3/4/5 is a UK model designation, it will differ dependant on country of sale. The model with air suspension on the rear will probably be the highest spec available ............ Good advice above on the XC90 also, many of the earlier ones have transmission problems which results in no...

Hi guys, any chance anyone here has some numbers for a Lc90 LWB D4D manual (1998) CO figures ? wheelbase and track width front & rear ? Thanks Cir.

Excellent stuff, impressive work. Did you blast the chassis or rub down by hand ?

Ye........ a few pumps of a grease gun into the sliding part of the propshaft usually cures it (assuming that is the problem), does sound like it could be that. While you're(or whoever) is at it grease all the nipples on the two propshafts & universal joints. Once you have a grease gun its less...

This is the one I have. http://www.pendle-bike.co.uk/shopping/hang-on-tb-rack.php I use it reasonable often on mine or the wifes car, it kicks out enough to clear the spare wheel and it works very well, its simple and effective.

Must try that. I think all toyotas are similar, both my wife's ravs and yaris were same. I suppose the idea is that they are comfortable to wear when new but it does get a little annoying that I have to straighten the seatbelt every time I have someone get out of the passanger seat.

Ye, sounds very interesting. I tried a scangauge on my 2007 a few years ago and nothing worked despite the actual manufacture date of the LC being in 2007. I bought one of those plugs for my brother a while back but he said it didnt work on his car so I might ask for it back now !!

I dont think you will have any luck with the OBD tie-in on a 2005 model. I bought an all singing, all dancing head unit direct from China on ebay a few years back, the price was great !!! The satnav was great but thats where it ended. It technically did everything as advertised but its...

........ this is how it was explained to me by local Toyota service manager. The D4D engine suffered from a certain amount of rattle initially. Toyota subsequently changed the software (could be post '07) at some point to reduce the noise. There will be some which still rattle but nothing...

Not sure why the brochure says that, I havnt read it myself but I do take your word for it. Tech dept proof reading was on a friday afternoon ???
