    Apple CarPlay is Garbage- Did we get the Beta version?

    Call the Toyota help line. They are actually good at sorting out the security/setup problems and possibly giving your vehicle new software. Phone support in general is now often no better than researching with google. But Toyota is well worth the call, as they will look at your account and...

    Toyota connectivity issues during remote travel

    The biggest advantage of the app for many people is remote start. I live in a winter area and have a detached garage. It's better for me and the vehicle if I can start it remotely. The other advantage is another bluetooth key in addition to the key FOBs. This area is still problematic for...

    Toyota connectivity issues during remote travel

    "First of all", the app with a digital key installed makes a bluetooth connection to the vehicle so that it can work with the vehicle not connected to cell service.

    Real World mpg

    The primary difference between owners' MPG with local driving is the amount of stop and go. The primary difference with highway driving is averagespeed. There is really little to see here. The primary purpose of Eco seems to be to make the HVAC system in Auto mode even less responsive to a...

    Apple CarPlay is Garbage- Did we get the Beta version?

    The bad head unit is certainly a possibility. I had no problems with my 13 pro prior to getting the iphone 16. While its probably been discussed up thread, if I was having problems I would turn of Limit IP Tracking for the connection to vehicle wifi. I would also download the digital key in...

    Toyota connectivity issues during remote travel

    I had problems with Toyota media player software that constantly cycled me out of Carplay to display to display an authorization error. 3G vehicle connectivity isn't good enough for Toyota to fix any account/software problems. My media player connectivity started to throw authorization errors...

    Apple CarPlay is Garbage- Did we get the Beta version?

    I have had no problems at all with an iphone 16 pro during a 4500 mile trip that ran maps constantly. Apple maps/ Siri is still garbage, however. But no carplay problems. OP likely needs a new phone. I do run wired carplay when using starlink. However I have many wireless hours too. Wired is...

    How to lighten up the interior?

    Java is seats and also arm rests. I was not going to buy another black interior vehicle, and like the brown a lot. Premium has footwell and other accent lighting that helps the feel of the interior at night. Not sure if the lower trims include the little lights scattered about. The lighting...

    Impressions After 6000 Miles

    At one mile remaining I refilled 15.5 gallons. I drafted behind a semi for 65 miles to get to the gas station. Adaptive cruise control set to minimum following distance is perfect for that activity. :) There may be a 2.5 gallon reserve on flat land,. I would not assume that much reserve with...

    Trouble finding any forged 17x8.5 wheel with +20 to +40 offset.

    8 inch should work too. You are looking at a time when the first production run has been sold out. Many/most of the wheels for fit were sold out a month ago. Clearly either demand was underestimated, or the sellers' manufacturers are very busy.

    Sightings on the Road?

    I've seen four or five total. But I was in a gas station in Jackson, Wyoming where the only other vehicle was a meteor shower LC. The number of white 4Runners in WY, Idaho and Montana is incredible. So there should be a lot of interest in the new Toyota mid size trucks generally.

    I need Ideas for 17 rims on stock suspension.

    Currently a big hit in Wyoming. I get a compliment most days, inclusding from women. No one in Chicago cares, however. https://www.landcruiserforum.com/threads/tire-upgrade.525/page-45#post-32029

    Simple Question: Falken WP or KO3's for smoothest ride?

    I've put 2500 miles on the AT4 (C rated) and don't have a problem with noise. When new I noticed the change in noise compared to stock. But now I don't notice at all. I'm sure I would be fine with KO3s too.

    What does the 5 beeps mean?

    Engine on or rear seat occupied warning, as far as I can tell. It's the general "your leaving the vehicle in a non-standard state" warning. The beeps are literally the worst aspect of the vehicle. I'm currently staying in a small group of cabins, and I leave pre-dawn. All the beeping the...

    Awesome mountain driving until....

    I don''t like the continuous braking on long downhills once the hybrid battery is full. I prefer to brake harder before corners, and let it run a bit without brakes on straight sections. But I don't know if that technique is best.

    Driving in heavy wind with adaptive cruise control!

    I find the lane centering a problem on two lane high speed highways. Ever sane person moves closer to the outside line when the closure rate is 140+ mph. But on the interstate it is great.

    Transmission temperature / 4LO gears

    Stayed in the middle the whole time. The water temp increased a bit, but neither temp moved much. Both gauges stayed middle-ish

    Awesome mountain driving until....

    ...... the hybrid battery is full. Then its at 6000 lb brick with a four banger for engine braking. Using cruise control on downhills the vehicle beautifully manages regen and then gears to keep speeds precise. On uphills it uses the electric motor extensively to "make space" in the hybrid...

    Transmission temperature / 4LO gears

    After several days of mountain driving I see no transmission temp problems at all, The most extreme was from 5000-11000 feet starting with an air temp of 95F. Up to 10% grade. The vehicle simply isn't designed to do road travel in low range. It wants to run in high range at about 1800 rpm...

    Any one install the Westcott Designs ditch light brackets?

    I like that these brackets will protect the folded mirror from frontal impact. I suspect that the complete mirror assembly is $2K+ Which lights did you use?

    Rear spare mount: GoRhino Hitch mount

    If you search: temu receiver spare tire carrier there is a swingout model that is $225 delivered. I have it and it looks well made, but I will test the welds before travel. Most of these carriers offered in North America are simply resold Chinese products with a large markup. But the price...

    The sub 20mpg people are driving in different conditions than the >20 mpg people. Like the injector noises, there are likely no mpg problem vehicles.

    Continuous 12v source

    The hybrid battery is never engaged when the vehicle is off or ACC. The hybrid battery will never wake up to maintain voltage of the 12V battery.

    Switching between CarPlay and Sirius XM. Gotta be a better way.

    https://contronx.com/products/custom-3d-printed-starlink-mini-bracket-with-suction-cups I haven't tested it in extended use, but the signal is good through the sunroof glass. Starlink mini also fits between the sunroof shade and glass without any mount. I may use it that way when staionary...

    T24A-FTS Engine Cover

    Also the large inverter both produces and is impacted by engine heat. You do not want to be altering what Toyota has carefully crafted and tested. If Lexus makes an identical hybrid with a cover then that part would probably work. Except then our engine cover would unacceptably say "Lexus".

    Transmission temperature / 4LO gears

    Perhaps they feel that with the fancy torque converter that low range is seldom needed. I've had it in LO six gear in automatic, but its running 4000 rpm. It will not allow a lower rpm in low range. So the question I have is what can't high range, MTS on, ceter locker engaged do.
