Still seems a bit strange but I have gone ahead and done the same, ordered from Japan, $65 total.

The $5 mod has turned into $85, so strange. Opted for the $17 chinese version. It works and installed it. Got so tired of being blinded every morning starting the truck. This is like a no brainer and should have been included for the purchase price of the 4R.

Do you have a link to the Chinese version? I had this in my '15 and am really missing it in my '20.

I don’t think the Chinese (cheap) version will work on your 2020!

It was a chinese fail anyways. It worked during the day when I tested it, the dashboard lights did not dim when I turned the lights on....Early this morning turned the key on and my dashboard is blinding me as usual, turned on the park lights then the dashboard dimmed. (shakes head). Well its not coming out, just going to have to keep turning the parks on I guess.

Have read the whole thread once, not sure what you mean "set it up"?

I know it is impossible, but I always try to avoid Chinese products, even if costs double or triple. This is even more important when dealing with expensive stuff like cars, motorcycles, guns, etc.

Your 2019 ORP should work the same as my 2018 ORP. Try this procedure and see if it works for you. Post# 55.

Thank You for the help ElectroBoy and Saker, turns out the sensor is working as it should. My mistake for thinking it would dim the dashboard if it was dark out and my lights were off. The instructions in post #55 were for the entune screen, which helps but will still have to turn the park lights on to dim the dashboard and entune screen if its dark out. Did not realize the sensor only helps control the dash and entune during bright daylight with the lights on.

Glad I didn't order the $85 sensor which still wouldn't have done what I thought it was supposed too.

Thanks for your help and here is the link for the sensor purchased on Amazon.Amazon.com: Auto Light Control Sensor 89121-50020 for Lexus Toyota 4Runner Avalon Camry Highlander Land Cruiser RAV4 Sequoia Sienna Tundra Venza : Automotive

I have a pre-20 sensor available
I bought the sensor for my 19 ORP but never installed. Now I have a 14 TEP which is apparently the year before they started running wires to the dummy plug.

If anyone with a pre-2020 model wants it, $15 shipped.

You should read the first few pages at least, pictures are there with an explanation. The entire thread is about this mod only. The sensor is located in the center of the top of your dash. If its daytime and your lights are on, it will keep your dash lights and head unit in day mode, and allows your dash lights and head unit to darken at night with your lights on.

Had some rain yesterday after work and it was nice to have the dash lights not dim when turning the lights on for driving.
