The parts supervisor raised some issues on the installation of back-up sensors. Apparently, they'll have to kill the back-up beeping that comes standard in the RP variants. The standard beeping sound tends to drown-out the beeping sound from the back-up sensors daw.

How does the sensor work in your unit? Does it beep along with the back-up beep or did OTIS kill the back-up beeping sound?

how much does the backup sensor cost? OEM ba ito?

does anyone know where can i buy the backup mirror shown on the carryboy webpage? bka naman may rattling sound if u dont buy OEM part (simliar to banaue sold backup mirror for CRV gen2).. appreciate any advice.

btw, got my unit last june. 3.0V, Silver Metallic
7.1 km/l ave city driving. my MID reads differently.

I had mine installed by the dealer for 8K. It's not OEM (but since dealer installed does not void my warranty) but is actually better. It's the six sensor type (front and back) with HUD in the form of a clipon rearview mirror. Very happy with it and you can choose to switch off the beep since meron visual indicator that even estimates actual distance and location of obstruction. The OEM is a 2 sensor beeper which you have to manually switch on. Not even sure if already available locally.

If you will have the sensor installed, the mirror will be redundant. Sorry no idea where to get Carryboy accessories.

*jad: Glad you can join us in this Forum. Make sure to post pics of your unit and post anything you've done to customize or make your unit special.

*trader: That back-up sensor of yours sounds nice! Which dealer did you get it from (PM me naman and tell me sino hahanapin)? Having a HUD does seem a lot better, not to mention the fact that you can turn-off the beeping ('coz the reverse beep is already noisy enough).

Took some photos yesterday, after a quick stop at the local parish for some Blessings on the road.

Had the reverse sensors installed at the casa and cost was about P6.5K.

anybody got pics of the A-Toy kits for the fortuner?

According to my source from Toyota Makati, come September, their allocation of Fortuner will be increased from 16 to 32. Most of the dealers daw magiging 32 (Manila Bay, Otis, Shaw, etc.). Provincial branches daw will be increased to 15 (from 6 to 8 depending on location). He said that Toyota Thailand will finally be able to (at the least) meet the demand halfway.

Sana...
