Interesting to tap into mirror for dashcam power - would it power during parking mode? I picked up the Thinkware Q800Pro Dual and the OBD power connector, so will need to run power down the A-pillar. I did remove the one nut behind the SRS plastic plug, and the weatherstripping, loosened the...

We had that exact symptom show up 3-4 years ago after a long trip from Vancouver, BC to Portland, OR. After a lengthy trial and error session, I eventually pressed hard on the black windshield plastic molding on the lower right exterior as if to reseat it and that seems to have worked. I think...

Dealer referred me to Toyota Canada, Toyota Canada says they don't have access to such info. I clarified that I realize it's not an online OnStar type system at least in the 2016, asked if I would be able to get the dealer to scan the EDR at my cost, she again apologized that such info not...

Thanks, will check with Toyota. As for dash cams, any recommendations would be appreciated. I figured I would have also needed a rear facing camera which of course can't be mounted on the hatch glass. Insurance rep advised me that even only a front facing would help because it would show if...

My neighbor across the street backed into me as we were both headed out. I had already backed out and believe I was in Drive upon impact, but he maintains we backed into each other. No witnesses, human or camera ( hightly motivated to get a dash cam now ). While the damage is only ~$2K, (to...

Looks like 275/55R20 is an acceptable fit, albeit slightly wider than recommended for the stock 7 inch Limited rims. Very impressed with the Nokian All Weather tires on two other vehicles in the family, so would like to put NOKIAN WR G3 SUV on the 4Runner. Any thoughts/recommendations? I...

That 68 looks to be in awesome shape. I am in the process of settling up my Dad's estate, including a 92 minivan with only 53K miles, garage kept for 28 years. Drives well, but yeah, crank windows and no ABS.

Did you get the job done last week? I too was wondering if it involved dash re&re or if they go in underneath/behind the glove box?

Fixed Waited a couple of months and 2,600km / 1,600 miles before posting this update to ensure it actually stayed in place. Made a call to Toyota Canada in late January as my 3yr warranty will be up this coming July. Appt set up with same dealership as previous visits. Apparently this time...

Perhaps a rock thrown from a tire going the opposite direction? Probably won't leak as the crack is likely only in the outer layer of laminate. If you are in a moderate climate it may be OK, but if you encounter significant temperature change, especially freezing temperatures, the crack will...

True - we have trailer plates as well, and while it identifies the registered owner of the trailer, it obviously doesn't identify the tow vehicle as the trailer could be borrowed/rented, etc. I understand the requirement for plate visibility for toll/speed/red-light cameras, but given the...

That is good clarification. I shall check our MVA details.

I heard on the radio today that police will issue $250 fine for rear license plate blocked by bike rack. About to head out of town with bikes on a Yakima hitch mounted rack. I could zip tie the plate on rear most bike but then thought maybe mount it below hitch. Plate would be visible below...

Just stumbled across this thread. The URD plug and play device looks very tempting. I'll google it later, but curious as to the price? I have been running regular octane fuel since new, but will probably run premium next weekend for a trip up the Coquihalla to see if I notice a difference.

Nice looking country, must get up there one day. Where are the fires, Alaska, or is the smoke coming up from Alberta/BC?
