Its your parking pin. Pull the parking brake harder and/or park on level surfaces. Also, when parking, put the car in N, pull parking brake, release brake pedal, put in P - this puts all the weight on the brakes, not your parking pin.

I did question how "recoding" could fix a metallic pinging noise!!!!! I only park on flat, both at work and at home and I've tried some of the variations you mentioned i.e. try to pull parking brake as far as possible, go to D then N then R, but still makes the noise. I did mention to them when I rang up to book it in and when dropping it off that I believed it to be an issue with the parking pin mechanism. Lets see what they come back with. I'll be amazed if it's something to do with the computer. And I don't want it back until it's fixed!!!!!

here is something they could try, they need to find out if your car was build on friday or monday, then you got problems. they need to check the gearbox they sound only happens when u selecting gears, that got nothing to do with the breaks, if it did then u would hear the noise when applying breaks, do u get a noise when applying breaks, also at your 1000km service, that must cheak all bolts and nuts if they came loose, they must change oil and oil filter, because the iron fillings from the rings and pistons, they must adjust your brakes, check all fuilds in case there is a leak, and fuel lines,

did you log a call with toyota customer care in your area, because they would send out a toyota engineer to help the dealer find the problem and help them sort it out as they cant fix it,

here is something u can also do check if there is enough gearbox oil, also they must check engine mounts, as our cars are front wheel drive and we have no propshaft to turn the rear wheels

let me know what happens,
