I wish people would stop spreading this misinformation... I just replaced the woofer in my hatch. It is 100% an active sub. I used frequency sweeps and an oscilloscope to verify the signal is active at the plug, and the cone moves and generates sound There is a low pass filter around 100hz on...

Weird, I tried to cross reference the 2024 Tacoma hybrid owners manual to see if they had it correct there for what it has for that max gauge, it calls it the "MG Gauge" and the entire description is just "displays the motor power"

They really confused things by calling it the multi terrain monitor and multi terrain select... MTM should just be called camera mode really Switching between "drive mode" and MTS changes the available camera views in MTM. When in MTS mode (you press the MTS button and select a terrain mode)...

I have been watching that Max guage pretty closely on my LC, and I am pretty confident that it shows the charge level of the hybrid battery. Long slow braking down a hill, that bar fills up. Drive low speed when the engine clicks off, watch the max bar fill up on acceleration and the battery...

I agree, it is clear as mud. I was semi-worried when getting my base LC trim that it would not have the overhead camera views since it didnt have PVM... That view makes parking a breeze some shots from my LC trim base model (no premium) with MTS/MVM but not PVM in drive mode / park, this auto...

The 1958 trim does not come with MTM Panoramic View Monitor (PVM) is just a function that the digital rear view mirror has and is unrelated to MTM. The non-premium/FE trims that don't have PVM still view the overhead 360 degree type view on the multimedia screen It is wild how many more...

The LC and FE trims both have a front camera as part of the Multi-Terrain Monitor (MTM) system. It looks like in that video while they are driving around that 19 min mark they are in a 1958 trim based on the smaller entertainment screen size

I don't think just the speaker cover comes off, have to pull the entire panel

I used the old fashioned "grip it and rip it" method. There are not any screws or other attachments to undo, just the clips, and it hinges somewhat from the top of the panel

The 3.5" REF307F fit much easier in the dash spots. The mounting bracket is about 5mm too short to reach both screws, but i built a platform out of sound dampening material that seems to hold it well enough I wish i had taken a side by side, the 3.5" is almost half the size of the 4", and very...

That could be, I havent seen a premium or FE in person. I only knew about the extra hatch speakers

I was wondering about that, thanks! Do you know if there is a way to adjust the Equalizer or DSP settings in Carista too?

The dash speakers are the easiest upgrade you can do, and I have a feeling the most noticeable I wasn't sure what to get for the center speaker, since it is only a 3.5" woofer and no tweeter, there aren't a ton of options for something like that. Was looking for something with decent frequency...

I think the illustrations from EOD Guy just show that it uses all the woofers from the stereo to generate the ANC sound, not that they are exclusively for ANC. I suspect the "6 speaker" is for 1958 and the "except 6 speaker" is LC/FE I am 100% sure that the 20cm speaker in the hatch on the LC...

They pull straight up from the front and sort of hinge on the back. It is helpful to use a flat trim tool to pry it, but be careful b/c the dash is soft

They consider the base system 10 speaker, but its only 8 channel, so there's no guarantee that speakers == channels. I think the extra 4 speakers in the JBL are just another set of dash speakers in the rear hatch, and they consider those 2 speakers each since it is a woofer + tweeter

I dug into the LC trim base stereo and did some measuring and upgrades. The sub is definitely connected and functional in the LC trim, but crossed over pretty aggressively, only from around 20-150hz. Not sure about the 1958 trim, it is possible that it only has a 6 channel stereo (4 doors + 2...

I think that is one of the differentiators for the new MTS, that it can be used in both 4-high and 4-low. There is a "deep snow" setting that is only available in 4-high, but they are mostly tweaks to the traction control for offroad

The 4" REF407F speakers are just a touch too big I think. The mounting brackets align with the screw holes, and one can barely squeeze on the passenger side, but the AC vent is too high on the drivers side, so the speaker sticks up half and inch or so too high. I have the 3.5" coming later...

Thanks! The 4" dash speakers should be here Wednesday. I think they will have the biggest impact since those are doing the bulk of the driving for anything 4-500hz and up. Hence why i am trying the 4", I am pretty sure i can get it to fit on the passenger side, but the hole on the driver side...

I have an LC trim non-premium and wanted to upgrade the stereo. Luckily I have a calibrated UMIK-1 microphone to do some comparisons. First off I wanted to see what was included with the OEM stereo I found this press release which matches what i found when i pulled the door panels. It is...

I saw that, thanks. Just want to make sure there aren't any sneaky screws like the doors. Did you drop the door control before or after the trim was off?

I stumbled on this thread that had good details for the front door trim https://www.landcruiserforum.com/threads/door-panel-removal.1474/

This is great, thanks. Does anyone know how to get the tailgate/rear hatch trim removed?

I have a long downhill decent heading into my neighborhood, frequently the engine will shut off and run just electric for the last 0.5 mile of slow neighborhood driving. This is verified by 0 RPMs on the tach, and any small acceleration showing on the Max guage Mine will fill up to full bars...

I suggest double checking the air filters the wix site recommends, the sizes don't seem to match the ones in the LC

I would double check the size that the wix (or purolator) site recommends for the 24 LC since it is so new. The sizes don't seem to match

This is probably over the max PSI for the tires, my LTX Trails list 51 psi as the limit

I have a collection of old random cans, I think the one that fit was from a ~12 year old can of "Quick Color" but it could just be a random cap i have been hording. It needs to be 62-63mm in diameter
