Thanks for telling me about a problem I didn't know I had. Going to look for a plug now. I guess, if something perfect can't be found, could use some of this...

Hi, sorry for the late response. I didn't take it to the dealer. I found a local auto locksmith who could program it. I believe cutting the key and program cost $75 for me.
Google auto locksmith in your area then ask if they are able to program.
You won't need the locker/crawl control unless you get the tires buried in deep mud or snow and even then, 4LO will get you out of it if you're gentle with the throttle.
I see a lot of recommendations for the Limited and you mentioned the crawl control a few times for the TRD. Unless you're dug deep in, crawl control is overkill. Even with 4LO engaged, you'll be able to finesse yourself out of a lot of situations.

The bottom isn't deep but not easy to move a hand around in. It tapers and there are other brackets in the area so if you drop something smaller than a socket it's tricky to get out. Using a magnet wasn't the easiest because it was sticking to the walls.
I have had my dashcam hardwired to the ACC fuse using the kit you linked.
Wanted to do the same as you for my wireless charger and just got a second hardwire kit and tapped into the WIP fuse. Working fine for me.
Hi, new to the forum. I bought my 4Runner pre-owned. Drove through some roads with potholes and eventually heard some noise back there. Drove me crazy for weeks.
Had to buy an inspection camera/endoscope to find the noise. It was the wheel lock (which I was able to fish out with a magnet)...
