    Need Wiring Help - 2010 SR5 w/ Rearview Mirror Monitor

    The adjacent Blue (positive) and White/Black (negative) wires on the bottom left of the pictures above are the correct 2 wires for switched 12v power for this mirror set-up. I would like to thank Ryan for digging up the diagram, Ryan - And also thank Mike. I especially want to thank Harper7...

    Need Wiring Help - 2010 SR5 w/ Rearview Mirror Monitor

    The previous threads showing the wiring for the rearview mirror show solutions to get 12 V ignition switched power from a mirror that only have 2 wires in the connector. 1) Blue (+) and White (-) on a connector with 2 rows of 5 holes. LINK and 2) Yellow (+) and white/black (-) - mentioned by...

    Auto on/off headlight swap

    I have an SR5 and leave the DRLs on all of the time - It turns the DRLs on and off when you put it in gear. If you leave your headlights on they will turn off after a few minutes - Also, if you hit LOCK button on your remote twice, that will turn them off as well. Just leave them on all of the...

    Weathertech v. Husky mats v.?

    I agree ... Toyota is NOT going to change the chassis at all for the 2nd year of a model unless there was such a major defect in the 2010 models that driving the T4r on a flat highway at legal speeds was killing people. Order the 2010 model floor mats.

    Rear Parking assist

    Same here - 2010 SR5 There was a seller on eBay selling a system that was similar to (if not the same as) the factory rear-view mirror with back-up camera. It was marketed specifically for the 2010 T4R.

    Window quality

    I got one of those the 2nd week I had my 4R. The problem is that it did not chip out (just a bell inside the glass) - and cannot be repaired. Guess I will have to wait for winter to spread the crack across the entire windshield. At least the windshields should be cheaper than in my old FJ...

    Looks like I am going to the dark side

    I saw this thread a while ago, and I am still wondering why the owner of a '03 4Runner would post this on this forum - and more specifically in the 5th gen forum. Seems like he just being a "tool" that probably does not even have the $ to buy a Cherokee - much less a new 4Runner. I have found...

    Undercoating Questions

    Undercoating a 2010 Toyota 4Runner is more likely to cause rust than prevent it. Check the lower edge along the doors and you will see the chip preventing undercoat primer that Toyota Puts under their paint to prevent rust in vulnerable areas. Rust is not an issue on modern Toyota bodies.

    Paint Protection Film Installed

    Sorry for the delayed response. The 20% 3M film actually matches the factory tint really well, but with light coming in through the front windshield it may be perceived as being a little lighter. I am really happy with the 20%. My neighbor has 15% on his 2010 Tacoma and his older 4R. It...

    GOBI Stealth is Here

    Thanks, IceNomad. I work in downtown and spoke to them when I had my FJ a few years back. I will call them in the next few weeks and see what my options are. It really looks great on your 4R.

    Paint Protection Film Installed

    I feel like I really lucked out on my 3M Clear Bra and Tint. My neighbor went to high school with the 3M Distributor Rep that does the 3M Demos at the SEMA show in Vegas. He came to my house - did my "A" Pillars, Mirrors, Hood, Front Fenders & Bumper (one 24" piece from wheel well to wheel...

    GOBI Stealth is Here

    Same Question... You have had yours since April and it is the middle of August and GOBI still does not have it listed on their web site as available or even as "coming soon". A "ballpark" estimate of cost and availability would be nice.

    Just bought a 5th Gen, couple questions?

    Look under the little drawer at the bottom of the center of your dash (in front of your gearshift) - you should have an AUX jack that you can plug your iPhone into. If you did not get the bluetooth/iPod/steering wheel controls - you probably will not be able to add them. Check in the back of...

    GPS Mounting Options

    I just purchased a Garmin GPS with lifetime maps (from Costco.com) for $129.99 w free shipping (Nuvi 255 - 3.5"). I was going with the beanbag mount that Garmin makes. There are cheaper ones available with the same concept. This seems to be the best solution because you can unsnap it and put...
