Hilux 4x4 Forum

We use to sell that model for around R4300.00 (all inclusive) and delivered to the door + R400.00 if you wanted the maps (Desnav Southern Africa Maps, 7 countries included). We discontinued that model ages ago as there's simply too many newer systems that we offer with much faster performance and of...

Not at all, AF is one of the RDS functions and it is essentially doing it's job. On these particular systems, the way your system works is to jump to the next available station that has a stronger signal IF it fails to find the same station that you were listening to with a stronger signal. Other sy...

Hi Mikie, have you tried switching the AF function off which should prevent it from jumping stations?

Hi Mark, let me explain a few things.. StopShop is an online store, we’re not manufacturers or a repair centre. Each product that we sell has a manufacturer’s warranty and not a StopShop warranty, if a product is deemed faulty and within the warranty terms then the return itself is handled by RMA &a...

Hi Mark, I got a reply from Bailey at RMA & Technical about your return request. He sent a copy of your emails exchanged between yourselves which I've pasted below.. Mark Booysen Sent on: 02/22/2013 12:08:41 I have just uploaded my Pics of my Radio to your dropbox. I have also done the merchandi...

Mikie - Indeed they do seem to be on strike again, I'm sure they'll sort it out quickly as soon as they receive the parcel. Let me know if there's any delays once you receive confirmation that they've received the parcel and I'll give them a little push (Y) Mark - Thanks for the order number, I've a...

Hi Mark & Mikie, please forward your orders numbers so that I can check with RMA & Technical what's the issue with both returns. Warranties aren't handled by us, the systems have a manufacturer's warranty. RMA & Technical handle all returns, I'll gladly request feedback from them with re...

Hey guys, have you seen the SSAS-TOYOTA250 model which is cheaper, better and faster than our SSAS-TOYOTA230 system which we launched for the new Hilux/Fortuner? Here's the link; http://www.stopshop.co.za/356-buy-toyota-fortuner-dvd-gps-satnav The interface is stunning, overall good performer at a g...

Our systems look exactly the same as the one Quintin has, I don't see any difference from the images he uploaded. As Quintin mentioned, the system fits perfectly and looks stock which is far better than some of the adaptations being made by some installers with fascias. We haven't had any complains ...

Hi Durran, which model are you referring to? All our systems have an iPod function and they also include the iPod cable to connect your iPod to the headunit. There's no need to use the AUX function to stream audio from your iPod to the system as that'll only play audio and not provide additional inf...

Hey Pieter, unfortunately it's not that simple and they didn't provide you with the correct information either. Although the facelift Fortuner & Hilux (with the silver headunit) have the navigation button, the system itself does not have the necessary hardware to run any maps on it (info supplie...

Agree.. (B)

I like your answer but there's a BIG difference between having your tyres balanced and going to Game asking for help installing a dish washer that you purchased from House & Home..

Yes indeed, he bought for half the price from the supplier in china!! this I found out after you asked for an order number. I found a sound shop here that gave me all the relevant info I needed. I will be buying some other stuff from them too seeing how helpful they are and that they dont have poli...

I need some help. I received the replacement stop shop radio from someone as a present, for my 2012 fortuner. I have connected everything, but there is one small square plug left unplugged. My reverse camera display doesnt switch when I select reverse so i figure that his plug is for the camera. Wh...

Like RiyadhFortuner suggested, see if Toyota is able to assist as well as updating your phone's firmware. As for your question regarding phone connectivity issues with our systems, there have been a few cases and more so iPhone related. We simply suggest updating the phone's firmware and in most cas...

Hi Raider, I doubt you'll get firmware for the original system and I'm 99% that your problem is not firmware related (referring to the HU). Firstly, most mobile phone manufacturer are developing their own Bluetooth protocols to work better with their Bluetooth devices and accessories so more often t...

Hi Mark, you'll receive an email once your payment has been received. If you paid from a FNB account then payment is usually confirmed within 2 hours and your order status changes to "payment accepted", if you paid from a non FNB account then it may take up to 2 business days to receive yo...

Have a look at the software settings to configure the receiver (BAUD Rate and COM Port), you should have an option to auto-detect. I suspect that you didn't configure the software correctly so the receiver is not correctly configured either, this will cause no satellites to be detected..

It should fit just fine as the antenna is relatively small and there's usually enough space inside the A pillar, I'm actually surprised you're picking up anything at all at the moment because the antenna needs "line of sight" so the roof would definitely be interfering with the signal the ...

That's fine but you'll have more work and it won't make a big difference, you should easily pick up at least 6-7 satellites with the antenna in the A pillar which is more than sufficient for triangulation. What you could do it move the antenna from the A pillar to the top of the windscreen by the mi...

Hi Mikie, a good location is inside the A pillar which keeps the antenna out of sight and doesn't interfere too much with the signal.

Hi Mikie, you need to configure it first before the system is able to run the software. I don't have the exact steps you need to follow but if you don't come right with the below mentioned then please log into your account then click on "My Account" followed by "Submit Ticket". F...

Hi Mikie, looks like it'll be available from mid September onwards. In the meantime feel free to use Mapfactor free version (http://navigatorfree.mapfactor.com/en/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), it's not as good as the NAVTEQ maps but they are free after all. You can down...

Not yet Philly but if you want to pm your email address I'll make sure it's added to the mailing list, this way you'll receive an update as soon as it's launched.

As far as I'm aware, the Hilux has an additional wire which is used to power the antenna (probably for a signal booster?). If it's not correctly connected then you may experience reception issues which will affect the RDS function. Have the installer check this or give Rob Savage from AV Technique a...

Hi Mikie, glad you're happy with the system :) Unfortunately you can't install Garmin because it's hardware specific so it'll only run on Garmin hardware, basically you can't take the card from a Nuvi (as an example) and use it on the system because it's not WinCE compatible which the systems runs o...

That's a good system and the interface is really nice, good choice. I'm assuming you have a pre-facelift Fortuner or Hilux and not the 2012 facelift model, right?

Great stuff Mikie, which model did you order?

Thanks Mikie, feel free to post your feedback on the forum as I'm sure other members will be interested in knowing what you think of the system.

Thanks for the link pietpetroos, just had a quick look but I'm not sure which system he's referring to as we have several different models for the Fortuner (both pre-facelift as well as the facelift model). The way it works is quite simple, 14% VAT will be added to the product's price + the addition...

Hi everyone, Mark here from Stop Shop. Just thought I'd register on the forum to let you guys know that you're more than welcome to ask any questions regaridng our navigation systems for the new Hilux, Fortuner etc.. The systems are currently on special so it'll cost just over R4k delivered to your ...
