  2. Getting rid of dealer installed vehicle's tracker

    Properly assembled and connected, this is false. The purpose of the bypass is to keep the microphone and speakers functional. It's expressly why they exist.
  3. Getting rid of dealer installed vehicle's tracker

    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.
  4. Getting rid of dealer installed vehicle's tracker

    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...
  5. Getting rid of dealer installed vehicle's tracker

    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.
  6. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    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...

  8. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    I agree with you there. The ESP Formula was an excellent diesel oil and I bought every 12L case I could find when I learned it was being discontinued years ago and I have one more change left for my 200k X5. The current ESP is also very good diesel oil and excellent gasoline oil, but I I'm...
  9. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    You're arguing against a position I haven't taken. I've never said Toyota specifies anything beyond ILSAC GF-6A and SAE 0W-20. In fact, I've repeatedly stated that my initial plan is to use an oil that meets Toyota's published requirements. The manual page you posted doesn't contradict...
  10. What Brand Motor Oil Do You Use In Your 6th Gen?

    Surely they list a performance specification, an API endorsement. Every owner's manual I've read has at least had that and that is what I mean. Those are my first tier: 0W-20 meeting the performance spec. Then other 0W-20 that may not meet the performance specs, but have other beneficial and...

  12. TrailHunter Or Build Your Own? Photos

    I ended up with a Trailhunter. It was less about any designs of going off road every weekend or over landing all over the place. I wanted the ORP, but three options were very hard to get together in the color I wanted and they offered the Trailhunter. I was happy with the price, as happy as one...
