    No more Ice-Link for Toyota or Lexus WTF???

    I remembered someone here posting that they had one and it worked great. When I couldn't find one I was emailed saying Toyota was never supported. After asking if that person had brain surgery, I was told that I could be placed on a waiting list. Doesn't sound to me like they have their act...

    License Plate Bracket...

    I just don't slam my door shut. The 4th gen rear door latches itself with zero force from you (once its close enough). One my favorite features.

    low tire pressure warning light?

    Flashing indicates there is a problem with at least one of the sensors if not all of them. You did put the RF sensors back on the stems when you changed tires, right?

    Power Window lock question

    I agree with your post. Linking the door handle lock to the window would be a great idea. I've wondered why this isn't done as well. I would still like control of th windows independantly, however. My dog doesn't always understand what that button does...

    Free Window Etching Worth It?

    They can't very well damage the tint if the windows are etched on the outside. Personally, I have it done on my cars. Since I'm not a car thief, I'm really not sure of the effectiveness. I would like to believe the reasoning is sound and it is more effective than .... say an alarm. The...

    Tire Gauge Accuracy

    Why? Just because they are digital? This applies to either the mechanical or electrical style. How do you verify its accuracy?

    Tire Gauge Accuracy

    How do I determine how accurate a tire pressure gauge is? I have one that says my tires are 27psi and another that says 33psi.... What's a good way to determine who is right?

    Who wants a Supercharger for their V8?

    This is a good idea, but be careful. Remember that the people you talk to on the phone (or who you email) are just "representatives." They really do not care that you want the supercharger. If you act all crappy with them, they will not pass your request on to the people who need to hear it...

    Power Window lock question

    It doesn't disable the driver's window. It disables the driver's control of the other windows. My guess is that its easier (read: cheaper) to just interrupt ALL the switches at the same time instead of just the individual ones on each of the doors.

    Try changing your plug wires and/or get a 2nd opinion.

    I have the worst service department luck

    Think about everything they told you... why would you believe them on calling you back? Keep in mind that dealerships (and almost any store/business) has an organizational structure. The "sales" side doesn't communicate with the "service" side. Chances are both sides think someone else is...

    I finally got my MPG readout adjuster installed...

    Keep in mind... the MPG computer keeps a running average of the your MPG. Its calculation has no concept of "how many miles in this tank." You (we) are comparing its readout to when we fill up the tank. When you divide your "Miles driven" by your "gallons filled", you're calculating a long...

    Changing Lock/Unlock behaviour

    I just went out and did it. I got it on the first try. I used the "1-onethousand, 2-onethousand, 3-onethousand, etc" counting method. Closed all the doors, turned the key to ON, pressed the button, counted, and let go. The locks cycled and now I have doors that unlock.
