Can anyone tell me what the most recent map release date is for the Entune Premium Nav System ? This is the integrated nav system with the sd card slot in the lower right corner. My version date appears to be April 2017, is there a newer one out ? Thanks

Yeah I know anything to do with the frame means big bucks. Looking at some of the other photos I saw in other threads perhaps I should consider myself lucky, there were a number much worse than mine. As much as I love the truck, and you can literally eat off the engine I've kept it so clean...

About 2 years ago I started noticing some bad rust on my frame rails and front crossmember. A few spots had rusted all the way thru. I wire brushed and scraped those areas and sprayed with "rust reformer" primer and topcoated with black. I should not that I have taken meticulous care of this...

Great truck for me I only have about 130K on my "05 SR5, bought new and maintained religiously. Only left me on the side of the road once. Great offroad truck and I take it on the beach frequently. Some things I replaced over the years - brakes and front calipers, recently had a CV Joint...

Finally getting the dashboard Well after waiting 13 1/2 months I finally got the call from the dealer that my dash is in and will be replaced on 4/17... I wound up finding a great shop locally to change out my evaporator core last month. The dealer told me it would be 1300+ for the evaporator...

That's unreal ! On Feb 3 it will be one year since my dash was ordered here in Wilmington, NC. Multiple calls to the dealer always yield the same answer " it's on order, we don't know when it will get here and the 4Runner and Sienna dashboards are taking longer"...but it's been a full year ...

Here's my problem. My A/C had been working fine since I bought the truck and the other day I noticed it was no longer cooling. The compressor was not kicking on. The system has never been low on freon but decided to try adding some, I did, the compressor kicked on. But it still was not cool...

I just replaced my liftgate pistons on my 4Runner. After 10 years they wouldn't hold/lift the tailgate up anymore. It was an easy process and I made a video of it.. Cost for 2 new Strong Arm pistons was about 50 bucks, both sides should take about 30 minutes.. hope this helps some of you...

For anyone who visits Freeman Park 4WD beach in Carolina Beach, NC (also known as the North End) or especially plans to camp there this year there are new rules and prices. Don't just show up and expect to camp, there is a reservation system now, you can be turned away !! Here is the new...

Well it does make sense to me "the great him" that power for this particular system Toyota would want to make as inaccessible as possible.. that's the way I was guessing. But BlackWorksInc you seem to be pretty sure the system is double fused, drawing power from two different legs...if that's...

Thanks BlacksWorkInc, I probably should have asked for the code.. I do seem to recall him saying (I think) it was a B code, something that I couldn't read and didn't show on my meter.. I showed no code at all.. I know the wire/connection problem bothers me a bit too, I've bounced the truck...

Actually I don't go to the North End anymore..it's gotten way to crazy and crowded in the summer. Maybe the new camping regs will help but I think its gonna be a problem for people who have come for years and don't know that they have to reserve a site online now..when they start turning people...

With regards to the immobilizer system in 2005 TR4 SR-5 does anyone know which fuse controls this system and is it located under the hood.. I can't seem to find a reference to it and don't want to start pulling fuses and throwing codes again... I assume its an ECU fuse unless its fused inline...

Alot of good info on this forum so I figured it was time to join in... Thanks for having me ! This is my "05 TR4 SR5 on the beach in Carolina Beach where we live when it she was 8 months old...still looks just as good !

You're exactly right Martinjmpr, just looked at my dash, diff lock in the same spot as yours and the other button over the 4WD selector is the rear window...my bad.. you may be right, could be a pic from a 2WD dash.
