Tips and Tricks on the 3rd Gen Tacoma

Hoping it will never get cold enough for me to see that !

 

Yep confirmed this one. same thing for me.

 

I think if you are quick within 5sec of turing off the engine, the window will still go up/down. Worked getting Gas one day.

 

for trucks without nav. WHy do you need 2 navigation apps?

 

Anyone noticed the little mph sign that some up on the dash display when you are on the compass page. I noticed last night to will pop down to 25 going thru a school zone, and the outline turns red when you get about 3mph below the posted speed limit.

 

thats the speed limit for that road based on the data it has stored in the nav system. sometime accurate, sometime not.

 

Might be a good idea to out which harness works for adding a brake controller and where to find the plug inside the truck.

 

Anyone else notice what appears to be a secondary shock mounting position on the lower arms? I'm not sure it's the same ID as the current shock position, but interesting none the less, possibly the 4 runners mount?

 

Would that raise the front end a little?
I'm not an expert with suspension stuff, just wondering.

 

Theoretically, yes. If the inside diameter is the correct size. Looking at it, I think you would have to upsize the hole and the edge margin would be unsafe..

Just took a close look at that. Shock bolt is quite a bit larger than that other hole. Not sure what it's for.

 

I just went and crawled under the truck again, the pocket for the shock is not deep enough below that second hole, so likely a no go.

 

So what happens if you select one of the modes, but then you throw it in gear? Say you select 400 W while standing still in N, then drive away? Or the other way around?

 

Sooooooooo actually I'm gonna have to put all this write up talk on hold till i get my hands on my own 2016 taco lol. i am having trouble getting the newest version working on my laptop and i don't know if the older version that i have used will recognize the 2016 tacoma.

soo yeah

my head hurts, its late, i don't have my truck yet, ill get back to y'all when i figure it all out i guess!

 

it will switch to 100w mode as far as i understand. give it a shot and see what happens!

 

These button is inverter ON or OFF. It chooses the wattage setting based on engine running, in park, neutral, or drive.

 

The Windows should stay active after turning off the ign as long as none of the doors are opened. They should remain active for several minutes, unless the door is opened.

 

Anyone experienced a rear wheel locking up? I got in my truck, started it, released the emergency brake, put it in drive and it wouldn't move. I walked all around making sure all the wheels were free, they were, then I gave it some gass and the driver side rear tire would spin but the passenger side rear was locked and dragged along.

I tried going back and forth between park, drive, and reverse and nothing would happen. I went back and forth with engaging and disengaging the emergency brake and nothing happened.

So shut off the truck and called Toyota Care to get it towed to the dealer. While I was waiting I thought I'd mess with it a little more so I started it up again and everything worked fine. No wheel lock this time.

Since shutting it off and starting it up solved the issue that makes me thing it had something to do with the cpu. But I've never heard of a cpu locking a wheel like that, so I'm pretty baffled.

 

Huge thank you for putting this thread together. Yesterday I ordered a 4x4 Sport!!!!!!! Ahhh now the wait begins!

 

Shocks do not control height. Moving the shock to the higher hole will make it bottom out and bend.

 

How weird let us know if you find the culprit. Good luck.
