Now my question is Innova is now for its suspension which is loved by the rear seat passengers (as this has a float effect) and glides though most pot holes comfortably. How much of this would be reduced, is it worth the tradeoff ?

I have tein edfc active installed in my Crysta 2.8z. This is how it works.

You can adjust suspension stiffness from 1-16 steps (You can make it up to 1-64 steps) by the press of a button. 16 being the softest, equivalent to stock vehicle and 1 being the stiffest.

There are many more adaptive settings. I have set mine in auto. So at low speeds, suspension will be at 16 (soft) and as the speed builds up, suspension stiffens. Also based on your driving, suspension auto adjusts to limit nose dive & body roll.

Folks, asking for a friend, what’s a good price to pay for a 2019 Feb Innova Crysta D 2.8 ZX AT 7 seater run 20,000 kms? Cheers!

Anything between ₹23-25 Lakh should be a good price. ₹0.5-1 Lakh difference maybe there depending on the city where the car is.

Thank you so much for the reply and this setup looks best suggested to the ideal scenario that I what, the super cool aspect is the possibility of adjusting or the auto adjust based on the speed.

Did you get this set up in India or US - where can one buy and How much did it cost ?

2.4 GX 2021 model, How many USB ports do we have? I want to use android auto navigation and pen drive for playing songs simultaneously. Right now, i have pen drive alone in the port given in the arm rest and Phone USB cable (for Android Auto) is not getting recognized in the port given near to Power mode button.

For Android Auto / Apple CarPlay / USB to work, the cable needs to be slotted in the USB port behind the centre armrest for the driver and co-driver.

The USB port near the power button is only for charging a device.

Does it mean that we can't have both Music from pendrive and Android auto simultaneously? Is it possible to play music by bluetooth and have Android Auto connected through the USB port?

Pen drive when connected to the front USB port is not recognized or read. I think it is only for charging. When you connect the pen drive to the rear USB (the same one used for Android Auto) it gets read correctly. So you cannot have both (pen drive and Android Auto) at the same time as the audio source.

Ok, thanks. Through bluetooth, was able to play music and with USB connected to phone, was able to access Android Auto. This can be the workaround option.
Another question on the infotainment software update, can this be updated by connecting thro USB phone mobile data (or) only ASCs can do?

Yes, you can update the software using the USB. Go to the site, check for any software update. If available, you can download the software on to the USB and upgrade it.

Any recommendations for a Music system? My Crysta G is a 2019 model. Had picked the one that came with the Z trim then. The map my india chip is lost. Also, this doesn’t have Apple car play. I’m thinking it’s time for an upgrade.

Did any one of you do oil and/or oil filter change after the first 1000 kms? My first 1000 kms service/check up is due and was wondering if I should change it. Yes toyota has engine brake-in period as per its user manual and no the service schedule doesnt mention changing oil at 1000 kms.

Pioneer units are good, they now do have 9 inch screen to incase you need a larger one. Price is on the higher side. Z4450BT is the starting range with Android Auto/Carplay. Sony units are quite good too and slightly cheaper than Pioneer.

But if you insist, the dealer will change the oil, with them mentioning in the service report, " Oil changed at 1000km service as per customer request. "

Just like the engine break-in, modern engines may not need an oil change early, but we can change it to be on the safe side.

About 80k

The 6350 is smaller but otherwise the same. About 50k

There is also a Crysta ICE thread. Please check there too

One of the rare days our car gets to bask in the heat of the sun. Otherwise it is generally covered and always parked in the shade :D I just love the grunt of the engine and the torque delivered in the power end which takes on rough roads and inclines with ease.
