Don’t they even drop the oil and filter in that first check ?

Originally posted by bigowenb View PostFound your post a little interesting because my Kakadu has the sensors moved from the bumper to the nudge bar so had a look on the Toyota website customise page......the nudge bar for a GXL is different to the VX/Kakadu, it doesnt have the provisions for mounting the sensors. If i was you, i'd be telling my dealer to replace the nudge bar with one for a VX/Kakadu so the sensors i paid for could be used....you would think dealers would know to do this if you optioned parking sensors and nudge bar on a GXL.

Thanks everyone for replies.Checked accessory page and on closer inspection the GXL nudge bar has definitely got front sensors mounted on it. Have queried dealer and told them i want them fitted.
Bar is fairly solid and main reason for getting it is I didn't want full bull bar and want to mount light bar.

Originally posted by bigowenb View PostSame as yours by the sounds of it......about 50% view blocked by the nudge bar, i did expect it though because a workmate has a 2015 Kakadu with ARB bullbar fitted and his is worse plus when he added a big pair of round led driving lights it narrowed the field of view on each side even further! Unfortunately, unless there was a way of bringing the camera forward, loosing some field of view will happen with anything you bolt on the front end......sadly it's a bit of a compromise.
Have they improved the new cameras ? The old one are fairly average anyhow

Originally posted by bigowenb View PostThat's good to know. The cameras are still the same, fairly average.....can't say i'll use the front camera much anyway, the rear is the most important imo and the sides can also be useful..... what i love is the outside mirrors that can be set up to tilt down as much as you like whenever you select reverse.....thats brilliant!!

It memorises the mirror position and will move the mirrors to that position everytime you select reverse. To disable the funtion move the L or R mirror selector switch to the neutral position.
