I'm planning to exchange my Innova Crysta with Invicto.The reason for choosing Invicto Zeta is simply lesser waiting period.I don't mind the lack of features but someone put me in a dilemma by mentioning that Invicto Zeta is about 100kgs lighter than Hycross Vx.I couldn't verify kerb weight of Hycross from any reliable source,the kerb weight of Invicto Zeta is 1620kgs ,which is available in the brochure itself.I'm wondering what could lead to such drastic weight savings,if the difference is found out to be true.

Hi all, can't we turn off the headlight in GX. It's either auto or dim or manual. Is that the same in ZX as well?

Yes. But the auto works very well for me. I have never not had the lights on when needed. Although the brightness leaves much to be desired!

In fact it has spoilt me. Now when I drive other cars, I often forget to turn off the lights and pull the parking breaks.

Has anyone else noticed a significant lag when using wireless CarPlay?

Siri is triggered after a couple of seconds. Videos played on the phone have a lag in sound coming from the speakers. When typing, the click sounds of the keyboard are delayed (and annoying).

Has anyone notice squeaking noise while braking at parking speeds, specially Hybrid variants, at first i thought it was because of new brake pads and it will go away after some usage, but after 6000km it is still present.

The squeaking happen only when the car is first started and moved from the parking area after it is not used for a couple of hours.

Yes. There is a lag while using Wireless CarPlay. Siri takes it own time to say how can i help you, etc and it is indeed annoying, however i think i'm used to it already.

Yes, I believe it's because of rust forming on the brake discs. Since regenerative braking takes care of the majority of the braking, the disc brakes aren't used as much, leading to light surface rust forming on them in wet conditions. Just get it up to highway speeds, shift to neutral and then brake with medium force. This will force the disc brakes to work and will clean it up.

You can also see this if you park your car right after washing with the electric parking brake applied, it will lead to the rear discs rusting to the pad and won't disengage properly the next day. Driving it off makes a loud "SKRUUNK" sound for a moment. I just park without engaging the E-brake right after washing the car to avoid it. Just put it in P and then press the e-brake disengage button to prevent it from auto setting the parking brake and turn the car off.

The lower variant of the 2023 RAV4 also gets the same instrument cluster as what the HyCross gets in its Hybrid trims.

Looking at this, it seems there is an outside chance that we can swap the instrument cluster to the complete digital one available with the RAV4 on the HyCross…

Got it, is there any other way to clean up the disc brakes in general driving or it will clean on its own after some usage.

The Corolla cross also has the same instrument cluster as the Hycross.

They updated the cluster in the top model this year to this very good looking unit that is hopefully plug and play in the Hycross. I would love to try it if I could get my hands on it.

I have mentioned how to do it in my earlier reply. While driving, shift to Neutral and then press the brake and the electric motors won't kick in with regenerative braking. Just doing this once is enough to clear up any rust buildup.

I get these too and tried lights etc. based on the thread replies but nothing seems to work

I also have the same issue, has anyone found a solution?

[subbarp]

I wanted advise on how to avoid scratches on the painted surface beyond footmats, the area which is covered by the door when doors are shut.

In my earlier car, there was a chrome scruff plate with branding. There is no scruff plate in Hycross. Invariably, passengers slide their footwear across this area while getting in/ out of the car and this gets scratched. What are the solutions for fixing this?

No solution except to turn off the notifications. Another challenge is that there is a lag in the app while updating the status of doors closed. Even after locking the car, it shows the doors as open until a few refreshes.

Adding a plug n play type of DSP Amplifier will impact the warranty?
For example, something like JBL

2-Way components can be used in front. (Need to check on compatibility with Dealer).

And co-axials in the back

Any idea what's the price range of this speakers? And also any store we can check out this in Bangalore

My detailer added some good quality PPF over there for a nominal charge along with the ceramic coating. It is working well and I have no marks at all there. Would highly recommend getting PPF on high risk areas instead of ugly, overpriced plastic covered with chrome.

I have seen these speakers online on dolphin accessories. See links below

6.5 inch Component (21k) : https://dolphinaccessories.com/produ...cal-is-165-toy

6.5 inch co-axial (16.5k) : https://dolphinaccessories.com/produ...cal-ic-toy-165

Combo of both: https://dolphinaccessories.com/produ...play-combo-kit

I had enquired for these on few of shops on JC Road. Few had regular Focal speakers. None of them had the TOY (Toyota) version. Asked me to pay advance to get these.

I also asked my showroom Ravindu Toyota. They said, I can get these speakers and they can install. Also told me if speakers are compatible and can be installed without cuts, warranty will be intact (this was only a oral communication. There is nothing concrete in writing anywhere).

I am also in dilemma on where to get the speakers upgraded without impact on warranty. There are plenty of videos on youtube showing upgrade of speakers with beefy amplifiers. There is no comment on warranty on any of these.
