I did have Xpel PPF applied on the front three weeks after purchase. It would have been sooner but the shop was busy. The front is so flat and from previous vehicles, I know it's going to get hammered with rocks. $780 just for the front, not the hood.
I then added a Husky Aeroskin Hood...
Great video and story behind it. The switch back to the original video confused me but its all good.
If I remember correctly, your new 4R bets put in a carppy car wash twice before it gets to the dealer and usually again at the dealer. That might explain the swirls and scratches on mine!
Interesting video.... I thought I heard "The Car Nut" state that the engine has Oil Sensors or something that using a non-recommended grade would be problematic. I'd have to watch the video again to get his reasoning. I think he concluded to just change the oil much more frequently, 3k-4k. I am...
SR5 here. Picked up 2 hours after the truck. Delivered it. The dealer “detailed it” despite me telling them not to.
The paint is like a 3 year old car that has been is a car was every week. Swirls, dings and scratches.
I have a 20 year old truck that has a better paint look. I am not...
What is your goal or need for this change? Based on your tag, it looks like you are installing on an SR5, correct?
stock everything else including wheels or lots of mods?
Awesome.... Maybe I misread the Toyota manual. It clearly showed how to start the procedure but never said anything about the automagical capability :)
So, the dealer was right and there is nothing they need to do with TPWS on a rotation.
Put that one to bed and maybe trust the dealer a little...
No worries.
I still would like to know if the system TPWS magically knows there has been a rotation of if the dealer initiated a reset in the console or via a dealer tool.
initially speaking to two tecks and an advisor, they said the do nothing with the TPWS for a rotation. Maybe they looked in...
Not the case. This was a simple 4 wheel rotation. Nothing touched the spare which I believe is a temp tire anyways. They rotated per the manual, moving front to back, keeping each on the same side.
My spare does not have a sensor and only displays 4 wheels.
Not sure where the comment comes...
Nodak - Not sure where the 5th sensor came up. I only have the stock OEM spare for the SR5 and ithe display only shows the 4 main wheels. What am I missing :)
I know few folk are probably using this but, I paid a subscription for a year as I have a weird use case.
My issue is occasionally but all too frequent, I try to use the hotspot from my phone that auto connects and cannot. Apps report slow internet or timeout, etc. When this happens, I am not...
So, I get the vehicle back from the dealer service dept. I did point out the details in the owners manual but stated I'll just do the reset as it's easy to initiate.
QUESTION - When I started the car, I saw a display stating it was reseting the tire PSI while driving or something like that...
I am pretty sure they should have a checklist to follow that eliminate lack of memory or each task. Unbelievable what we let dealer service departments get away with. In many cases, I go in knowing more than the advisor, not just Toyota.
If it was an independent shop, I get it but, Toyota only...
I think we are on the same page. I did not see the comment about the radio learning the position but I assume that is not automatically done, it does that during the registration process, right?
If the registration process was not done, it could flag an incorrect wheel warning, right?
shoukd...
