    How to make spare chipped keys

    The two new keys are aftermarket. The master key is the original that came with the car when I purchased it.

    How to make spare chipped keys

    Is anyone struggling to get this working? I’ve gotten the sequence correct with the master key as the immobilizer light stays on. However when I insert the new cut key, the immobilizer light blinks on, off, on, break, on, off, repeat. As per the TSB its code 2-1. I’ve got two new transponders so...

    Second Camera using RCA Switcher

    Yea, it's not the best option for sure. The headhunt itself doesn't have the option for a second camera or video input, so I was trying to create my own. I managed to add the anytime backup camera employing a simple rocker switch which I use surprisingly much. Thank you for your diagram. I got...

    Second Camera using RCA Switcher

    I installed the Sony XAV-AX6000 last year to replace my aging stock radio. It has been excellent but unfortunately, only has one camera input. I've been using the backup camera but recently wired up a forward camera and purchased an inexpensive RCA switcher. It uses a slide switch to toggle...

    DIY: Interior LED swap (cluster, HVAC, switches, window, *steering wheel)

    Resurrecting an old thread…so much good info here. Let’s say I purchase another instrument cluster and switch out the incandescent for the leds as not to ruin my original one. When I plug that into my harness, will my mileage show in the newer updated cluster or does the mileage from the other...

    A bolt in the rear hatch that holds the exterior panel that needs to be removed when adding the camera to the outside.

    Aftermarket Backup Camera Not Working

    I'm seriously at a loss as to what I should do next. I just retraced my wiring and re-tapped the reverse at the driver side kick panel, ran a fresh reverse line straight to the headunit, and wired the camera straight to a 10amp fuse via fuse tap (had no empty slots available that were hot only...

    Aftermarket Backup Camera Not Working

    I’ve used the 7.5 and 10 amp slots in the fuse panel and have similar results. The camera is 12v so I guessed that the reverse line is enough power. There is an empty slot that is only on with the key in so I will try that. I turned it on this morning and it worked fine. 10 minutes later, in...

    Aftermarket Backup Camera Not Working

    Thank you for your reply. I originally had it wired to a fuse tap, and it worked during testing and final wiring. However, after starting the car several hours later, I have the same issue as before. I thought that maybe a 7.5amp fuse wasn't enough juice, so I moved it to a 10amp one and had...

    Aftermarket Backup Camera Not Working

    I recently upgraded from a Pioneer double din headunit to a brand new Sony. Since my original afternarket camera was nearly seven years old, I decided to install a new one. This worked flawlessly for a few weeks until just the other day, the headunit displayed "no video signal" when in reverse...

    R10 Connector in Non-JBL Setup

    I'm installing a new Sony aftermarket HU to replace my outdated and malfunctioning Pioneer one that I've had for many, many years. While unhooking the harnesses, some of the wires from my R10 connector seemed to have popped loose and came out. While I believe I put them back in their correct...

    Weird Electrical Issue

    Tested the battery after no driving for over 36 hours. Cold start. Voltage hovered around 12.33. Started car and let it run for a few minutes. Voltage hovered around 13.73. Given that my alternator has never been changed, and that this battery is three months old on with 255k+ miles, looking...

    Weird Electrical Issue

    Thank you for the replies. Battery was just replace by Toyota in June so I’m pretty shocked it’s dying so quickly. Does not driving it everyday affect battery life? It’s no longer my daily driver but still driven 3-5 times per week, minimum.

    Weird Electrical Issue

    Original 07 Sport owner here, 255k miles in the rig. Got an odd electrical issue that I can really put my finger on. Sometimes at startup, the runner will do a quick hiccup; this usually involves a flicker of the dash lights then the car fires up. The rear window wiper will also go, even...

    4th Gen Fantasy Football?

    Yeah I saw that too. Wonder if the person who was commish last year deleted all their leagues, subsequently deleting this one too.
