I'm using the Android app with the Toyota 2017 Enhanced Diagnostics download. When I "Add Display" to a dashboard, choose "Item" "Toyota, Lexus, Scion", and select "Tire Pressure Monitor", I get a long list of PIDs including battery voltage, temperature, and pressure for TPMS IDs 1-4.

No, I sorta stopped trying. I'd still like to get it working someday, but from what I can tell the MX+ does use a little of the "black magic" I mentioned in my previous post.

It occurred to me another benefit could be lighter weight (depending on the design implementation).

I take your point, especially about the added clearance. But I'm not sure I agree a lower angled side couldn't be made essentially as structurally sound as the flat bumper designs by simply using the same forward frame attachment points, albeit with a little more of an angle or some bends to...

I get the clearance behind the rear tire, I just think protective steel alone would go a long way. But, departure angle? Do the aftermarket bumper designs out there change it much, if at all? It seems like hitch removal/repositioning is the main factor, and that could still be done while...

Why hasn't anyone designed a rear bumper that preserves more of the stock lines? One that only replaces the sections of the rear body panels highlighted in the attached image? Seems like such a design would provide ample protection.

I prefer option 2.

Does that mean the C59-599 gives at least 1.25", and more like 1.5" for a completely empty truck?

I have an SR5P 4x4 (no 3rd row) and am currently running bilstein 6112s at the +1.5" setting, and 5160s with stock rear coils. I'm really happy with the ride, but I'm considering more lift; that is, raising the 6112s to the 2.55" setting and adding C59-505 springs for 1.5" of rear lift. Reading...

Today, I confirmed TPMS can be read by the Scantool OBDLink MX+ bluetooth adapter (their latest, released in November) using their OBDLink app with the "Toyota 2017 Enhanced Diagnotics" "Get Extras". I was thinking about buying a true ELM327 chip adapter from overseas, but I bought the MX+ from...

As I currently understand the Toyota TPMS on Torque app situation, the existing incompatibility can be distilled to bluetooth obd adapter selection. More specifically, most available adapters - including mine - use cloned ELM327 chips that in some (read Toyota) cases can't access a subset of...

These guys have apparently narrowed the issue to the adapters, and are otherwise making some progress: https://torque-bhp.com/forums/?wpforumaction=viewtopic&t=11133.0

This video shows scanguage reading toyota (a 4runner, I believe) tpms air pressure: https://www.instagram.com/p/BrCHxjIBj0M/ And, here are the settings from the scanguage site: https://www.scangauge.com/x-gauge-commands/toyota-lexus-scion-iso-tpms/...

I installed the sensor and stalk, and used Carista to change the "Auto headlights activation threshold" setting... still no auto headlights.

Revised 6112s set at 3/4 gave me approximately the advertised 1.5" lift (no KDSS, rear = 5160, stock springs, no spacers). It's somewhere between 1" and 1.5", possibly around 1.25"; I've seen some variation over multiple measurements while, surprisingly, not happening upon even, level ground.
