  1. Stolen! Key fob cloning theft method used to steal 2025 4Runner 6th gen

    I picked up this kit that has a box that fits 5-8 FOBs and 2 pouches. Tested all and works. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09GNZMLVS Faraday Box & 2 Pack Faraday Bag for Key Fob Protector, by Todoxi. Seems like a reasonable price for all that. The closed pouch is small enough to carry in your...
  2. Stolen! Key fob cloning theft method used to steal 2025 4Runner 6th gen

    I did an experiment just out of curiosity. I put my keyfob into an Altoids tin, closed the tin, and I was still able to lock/unlock the door. So the small gap due to the fit of the Altoids lid was enough of a gap to allow the RF from the fob to escape. So if you were thinking of buying a...
  3. 2025 4Runner roof racks: Black Friday Sales 🏷️

    I did a search on that; you'll find more info via a general search. There aren't too many instrumented tests under controlled conditions. That's the only way to get meaningful with/without numbers where the rack is the only variable. So I would take everything with a grain of salt. There are...
  4. 2025 4Runner roof racks: Black Friday Sales 🏷️

    There are a lot more roof racks available now than when I looked back in May. Many of them are having black friday sales. In case you are looking too, here's a catalog of what full length racks are available, in table form. Let me know of any errors or omissions, since I threw this together...
  5. Emergency Responder documents (2025+ 4Runner 6th gen)

    These (free) documents may be of interest to some. Link: emergency responder docs From the "Manuals" tab, "Emergency responder and dismantler information is available free of charge" select division=toyota model=4runner year=2025 Then click search. It brings up a list of documents to...
  6. Exhaust fumes in cabin when driving with rear window open?

    One reason I got the 4runner rather than another Tacoma was that the 4runner could (or so it seemed) still do some pickup truck duties like carrying 8-12 foot long wood or pipe, sticking out the back window with it rolled all the way down. I'm regretting not getting a sunroof since having that...
  7. Exhaust fumes in cabin when driving with rear window open?

    I recently did some driving with the rear window down. I seem to be getting exhaust fumes in the cabin, but I'm not positive they were from my 4runner because it was in traffic. Just wondered if others have experienced the same thing. It probably wasn't the best design to have a rear-exiting...
  8. Rear Dashcam Mount

    Danno, here's the info on the u-nut: Yep, due to the minimal clearance between the headliner and bracket, it was nearly impossible to fit anything in to make measurements of the bracket and hole. So here are my estimates: I have a set of transfer punches (precise diameters), so I used those to...
  9. Low Tire Pressure Alert

    Assuming you're being serious, and maybe this is your first car, no, a 1 psi difference is nothing to be concerned about. Forget the nitrogen. Just use regular air and it's fine to blend it with an alleged "pure nitrogen" fill from the dealer. Just make sure you don't air the tire up with...
  10. How do I disable auto-braking? (not PCS)

    Hi, not sure where this graphic came from, but some of the icons are not correct for the names. The icon shown for PKSB is really the icon for Intuitive Parking Assist, and the icon for RCD is really the PKSB icon. The icon for RCD is not shown here, and the icon for RSA is different as well...
  11. The "Brake Hold" feature is useful

    I double checked/confirmed it's pg231 for me, using a manual pdf I downloaded. The version I have ( "Owners Manual_USA_M35B85_en" at the bottom of page 2, of 709 pages ) was downloaded back in April or so. Are you talking about a hardcopy from your glove box? Come to think of it, I don't know...
  12. The "Brake Hold" feature is useful

    This turns out to be a pretty useful feature (pg 231 of the manual). You use it in stop-and-go traffic, or if you're in the line for a drive-thru window (I suppose you could leave it always on for regular driving too, e.g. at stop lights). The purpose is so you don't have to keep your foot on...
  13. Curb Weight, GVWR, Towing Capacity for 6th Gen 4runner (2025+)

    Does the door jamb sticker on the newer ORPs now say 1390 (instead of 895 that the earlier delivered models had listed on the sticker)?
  14. Permanently disable dynamic radar cruise control (DRCC)

    Would you (and any others) mind elaborating on what you don't like about it? I don't have an opinion on it yet since I haven't used it (all city driving, or at most a few miles on a freeway between exits where I didn't see a need to engage cruise control at all), so I'd like to know what issues...
  15. Front Brake Squeal Noise Fix - official TSB brakes fix! (TSB-0046-25)

    Yep, surprising the TSB doesn't at least say to run a die grinder with an abrasive pad over the entire rotor surface in case there's glaze. But given how few miles most of these 4runners will have, it's probably not surprising that wholesale replacement of rotors was not included.
  16. Factory Backup Camera is horrible

    I seem to recall there's a big section of the manual describing all the potential blind spots (or really, blind areas not spots). There's only so much you can display when you only have 4 cameras somewhere in the middle area of each side of a rectangle to cover 360* and non of those cameras has...
  17. Over ride car stop when trying to back up with door open

    Did you check to see if PDA is enabled and turned it off and tried again. Assuming this fixes it for you, it's not related to having a trailer attached.
  18. Over ride car stop when trying to back up with door open

    I just went on a short trip, backed out of my garage and about half way down the driveway I stopped, opened the driver's door, let off the brake, and it continued backing down my driveway with the door opened. So I wasn't seeing the auto-braking described above. In my settings, I have...
  19. Over ride car stop when trying to back up with door open

    To be clear, you had no trailer, you just opened the driver door, put into reverse, and it autobrakes and you can't move until you close the driver door? (I've not tried that yet but surely would some day, so I'm interested) I think Cloudblazer is probably on to something, re: autobrake...
