Autophile's Corolla Altis 1.6 2015

[rabeel_fariq]

didn't he opened dash ?

No nothing just the side panel of floor and nothing else

[driveking]

tracker guys open up dashboard and inner parts to install it
and after few years you will listen different noises coming from inside the dashboard as clips gets loose

Bro every 1.3 variant's owner gets after market infotainment systems installed in there car. So do you recommend not to instal them? As dash needs to be opened for instaling them!

Those who would not have any problem would be lucky. You need to be extra careful to find a clean hand worker. I had a bad experience with my 9th Gen. the dash never looked aligned around the pre I installed later.

Yes it is durable and I have not heard of any failures or problems. It is very robust tranny and if properly driven and periodically maintained it can last till the car's life.

I have 7 10th gen corolla's at the moment. All of them have tracker and after market Lcd's installed. Never had any problem. And remember my cars are driven on bumpiest roads of villages.

Good for you, but I do not feel comfortable about putting aftermarket stuff in a car.

Hehe you didnt CNG your car? You never got keyless entry? New audio system?

[sk_cooldayz]

Pretty decent prices. Auto Mart is very expensive then. How is the quality of stuff and which security alarm did you get? Is it with trunk opener? Where is Hamdani Autos located?

Quality is above average. Diggi Mat is same as the one posted in this thread. Security alarm is just normal Chinese system. Thieves are so smart. They get the best of the best alarms disabled :/. I just needed a remote lock/unlock keys thats why installed a cheap system.

While going towards kamran market from sadar side, just before turning left towards auto mart, there is a plaza on left with shops in a small lane. Hamdani autos is located in that lane.

You are welcome. I had a very good experience with RS on my black Corolla and it lasted till I sold my car after 10 years, may be it's still lasting with the owner. I could clean the car with just a wet cloth without streaks and during these 10 years I just polished it three four times just for the heck of it.

But this time around since it's a light colour and I had been following @dynamicallyStatic detailing thread, I decided to get the protection and sealant done by him and the results are amazing as you can see.

Just go to opening post and there you will find the index and links to all the stuff I have done.

Thanks for the details. I think I will get the royal shield then. I have heard good stuff about them from some other people as well.

How much was your car driven? I got euros adjusted at 19500 Rs, 700 km on ODO of my altis.

Car was not even 100km driven. Just got it yesterday. I didn't explore too many shops for tyre. Toyota rawal offered me 15,000 so 16,500 was better so just went ahead with it.

Not the ones I bought in 2013 and 2015. Yes I did all those things on my 9th Gen Corolla which I have sold and I did not like the additions. CNG though performed without any trouble, it took away half of the trunk space and disturbed the load distribution. Keyless entry required several repairs, finally I learned to live with it. Audio system was very good, but the dashboard never got aligned after installation of two head units.

So I am pretty comfortable with the stock Altis. The lesser after market stuff, cutting of wires, pulling of panels, the lesser troubles down the road.

Agree with autophile
But situation require keyless as small children's ruin the paint with opening cars. And not alarm only keyless is very necessary. Sometimes auto retraction also desired

[fawadakbarkhan]

So that's it, you won't add any more security measures?
What do you think about the RFID system? Apart from it being the cause of annoying sounds that would appear down the road.
People have had their Corollas stolen from their very homes. You seem relaxed to me It's a good thing. Must be because you have already owned a Corolla before.

Probably because he has firm faith in Allah almighty and his blessings. Recite ayat ul kursi.

A shitivic with an immobiliser can be snatched on gun point from you, what good is a tracker or an immobiliser then? Just an example.

Have faith, leave the rest to ya kismat ya naseeb. Allah knows what will happen to whom at what time of their life. Immobiliser can NOT prevent the pain you are destined to bear.

Yes it is an excellent feature and toyota indus should provide in corolla at all costs. But going crazy over this mere thing is simply ultimate foolishness.

Great. Congratulations.

I got 15.5 average today. As the kms are increasing on the ODO, fuel consumption is getting better and better.

Great mileage sir... but mine is averaging between 10 to 12 city drive. It once touched around 14 when refueled but it lasted for only few kms. Might be we was idling a lot our car with AC on all time. We do not drop windows if weather is pleasant due to dust factor.
