    Toyota dealership tried to charge me $100 to update my software on my 2014 Entune Navigation system. Declined, came home and researched. Found out Toyota offers the software update for free and can be done within 30 minutes with a USB.

    I also took this chance to put a photo on my usb for Start Up and Shut Down Image for my system!

    Now I have a upgraded navigation system, and this dope logo on startup and shutdown! TRD.jpg


    EDIT: Adding HOW TO links
    This is the link to download and update software. It has all the information you need to do it. Very very simple to follow.
    https://securedp.toyota.com/download-app/getUpdates

    The youtube link below shows you how to do the imaging. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND reading the top comment by kjekk. His description will make sure you only have to try this once, and not run back and forth between truck and computer trying to get the right image size, USB format, image extension, file naming convention, etc...

    Basically:
    1) Image has to end in (.JPG) case sensitive.
    2) Image works best at size 885x530. (You can customize your image Google search to only show images that fit this size)
    3) My USB is formatted to FAT32 or MS-DOS (FAT) for Macs. This works.
    4) The folder names that hold the image(s) on your USB must be named exactly as follows (case sensitive):

    a) DisplayOffImage
    b) StartupImage

    Imma through a monkey wrench in here real quick.

    What if you did the black out hood but with the stripes on top of it and fading out as it gets closer to the windshield.

    I'm invisioning this with the stripes following the taper of the blackout but with a thin black border all the way around.

    I like your idea. Also, if OP really wants the strips on the sides, I like this style here: 6.jpg

    I've been using one of those for the last 3-4 oil changes on my 4 banger. Makes cracking it free so much easier.
    ...the filter is underneath the engine on the passengers side. You 4.0 people dont know how hard it can get to remove.
