What was the nature of the GPS charge? What function or feature were they charging for?

Paragon 3000 in a Alemite 555-E Grease Gun, with an awesome LockNLube Grease Coupler, and swivel hose.

I use Paragon 3000.

I didn't look closely, but I've seen more than a few photos of flooded batteries in the 4Runner. Distilled water only should be added to the cells and I'd fully charge the battery first, and then evaluate level.

I had Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT on my Ram 2500 truck and I liked them. Toyo M655 now which are wonderful tires. Both are load range E, understandably. I've had General Grabber AT2 on a Tahoe and liked them. The best all terrain tire I've ever used was on that Tahoe, the Goodyear Wrangler...

I looked at many tires; Michelin Defender LTX M/S2 Michelin Primacy A/T Michelin LTX Trail Michelin CrossClimate Michelin X Ice Snow SUV Continental TerrainContact A/T Toyo Open Country A/T BFGoodrich Trail-Terrain T/A BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A There were another dozen or so. Some were...

Every time I'm sure, I read about another tire! 😅

For me, it's the total lack of discrete control. It's all or nothing with Toyota. I understand that some data is necessary to be processed to provide some of the services. It's bad enough that basic features are complete hidden behind a subscription paywall under the guise of "cloud services"...

Well, i don't know about CarPlay. The harness works as intended in my friend's Rav4, a different vehicle, flawlessly, however. I will not be troubleshooting CarPlay as I own an Android smartphone.

I don't care nor have any desire to use the dumb ass GPS Toyota graced us with. I will not be investigating its functions before or after I install the bypass. The harness will be installed day one and I will not create a Toyota account or take advantage of any trial services. I'd expect it...

And more importantly, the DCM can be completely disabled and the antenna outputs dummy loaded with a proper DCM bypass harness, as I plan to do. The harness maintains all of the interconnected systems and components 100% functional.

Using ChatGPT as a primary source is diabolical. I asked ChatGPT: "Is 5W-30 okay to use in my 2026 Toyota 4Runner's engine?" The response: "Yes, 5W-30 is generally capable of lubricating and protecting the 2026 Toyota 4Runner's 2.4L turbo engine, and its use would not be expected to cause...
