    Self solder heat shrink butt connectors

    +1 for Posi-Lock connectors. I used several on the handlebar electrical wiring in my Harley over a decade ago. I've never had an issue with any of them, despite the massive amount of vibration and abuse they take. I've also used these self-solder heat shrinks in my 4Runner. The solder inside a...

    If you ever updated Entune Premium Audio Head Unit software or Maps microSD card

    I have a 2015 Trail Pro and have updated my Entune once or twice over the years. I just checked my computer and my microSD card for versions. I realize they're not an exact version match to your request, but you're welcome to all of 'em. 3 versions on my MicroSD card (all 3 have a modified date...

    What to do when you have stripped skid plate bolts.

    Thanks to the OP for this thread. I've had a front end rattle that's been driving me crazy for a few months. Sounded like it was coming from the front driver's side wheel/suspension area. Turns out 3 of my skid plate bolts are broken clean off.

    Clean rear dashcam mount

    I like that a lot. I just used a hanger bolt threaded in the universal camera mount / tripod size. I didn't have the courage to remove the headliner to feed the power cord underneath, though. I routed mine in the weather stripping. It looks as though your headliner survived just fine. Any...

    Turn backup camera into recorded footage/dash cam

    I wanted the same. I installed the Anytime backup camera wiring harness and a switch in my dash to activate the factory backup camera anytime I want. As you pointed out, it doesn't record. I wasn't fond of the camera angle, resolution or location for recorded dash footage, though, so I went a...

    Check engine trac off green blinking truck

    It’s worth asking: Get gas today? Check the cap. A loose cap will trigger the check engine light, which disables traction control, multi terrain select, etc. If a loose cap caused the problem, it may take some time for the ECU to register and return normal functionality. You’ll may still need...

    USB Charger In 2nd Row

    Factory 12v outlet uses a convenient Molex connector plug. Most aftermarket USB outlets I found came with bare wires. I cut the molex connector off my factory 12v outlet and soldered it onto the USB’s wires. Only thing I had to cut was the connector off the 12v outlet (that I was throwing in...

    USB Charger In 2nd Row

    Yeah, sorry. I totally spaced removal of that little trim piece is required. I used this lady's video as my guide and it was easy as could be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRqJ5Jb4uVw&feature=youtu.be She talks about it specifically at the 4 minute mark. No tools required for anything in...

    USB Charger In 2nd Row

    Happy to help. I still have one more 12v outlet to replace, so I'll take the opportunity to record how to remove it from the housing. It's kinda awkward, but not hard once you figure it out. A small, flat blade screwdriver helps a lot. I cut the Molex connector off the 12v unit and soldered it...

    USB Charger In 2nd Row

    Ah. I installed a ConsoleVault in mine back in 2015. I don't recall the details, but I think it was just a bolt or two holding the center console body to the floor. Hardest part is probably emptying out all the junk we stash in there.

    Good timing. See my minty fresh youtube posted above. Center console disassembly is even easier than the dash - No tools required. I think it took me 25 seconds.

    USB Charger In 2nd Row

    Most USB ports come with their own covers that are designed to be pressed into the USB slot to protect from dust/moisture. Most of them are rubber and are simply held in place by a rubber ring that's slipped over the barrel housing, so you can remove the cover all together if you want. The stock...

    USB Charger In 2nd Row

    Sorry, I edited my post to include an amazon link to the USB port I'm using. I've had 2 of them installed for a few months and have no complaints with them. Only time will tell if the Quick Charge brains/circuitry has a decent lifespan. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F84VVB4/ It's...
