2012 SR5 definitely didn't when I replaced my headunit and ran the Pioneer XM antenna up front.

Weird. Looking up that part number, picking by price, I find this:

I have a 2018 SR5. Maybe the SR5s didn't come with the wire attached to the dummy sensor?

Nothing. Does it really matter when you have the back window down? Nope. Enjoy the breeze.
When you have your headlights on, it automatically dims/brightens your dash/nav illumination depending on the ambient light. I was hoping this worked while on DRLs only but either the parking light or low beams have to be on for the interior illumination to be on.

I believe the SR5 Premium and Off Road Premium are the only ones wired for it

I grabbed the 32nd to last one from "Kentucky". It shipped this morning Via USPS from "Kentucky".
I have an SR5 PREM, will check when I have a chance and report back.
Don't really care much about having my dash lights dim or not but would like to give this a shot just cause it's cheap and easy to do.

It will automatically dim or brighten dash lights based on daytime/night time. I work shift work and have darkened windows. I have to roll my windows down to back in the drive when coming home before daylight because the head unit screen nightblinds me. Im looking forward to this! Like really looking forward to it!
And yes, I could also make use of better reverse lights!

this mod is good during dusk and dawn driving, and if you have to go through tunnels or parking garages, since it adjusts your instrument cluster to ambient light when you have your headlights on.
As I mentioned in another thread, toyota was being really cheap by not including it, but went through the trouble of having wiring harness already installed (for most years) and a fake plug made for it.

would you mind sharing how to change the GPS Navigation screen to Night mode?
It has bothered me the most, thanks!

Navigation Screen Night Mode?
I still need to go out and mess with it but that thread will give you step by step.
Edited add: turning the dial, located on the dash to left of the steering wheel, off high did the trick. Now with the headlights on I have night mode on the Nav screen.
Also set my door locks up so the doors stay locked (from the outside) when the vehicle is placed into park.
