    Fantastic! I would appreciate a update on how the patch from AuCar worked.

    Got the final update installed for the beep tone with lock/unlock. It also (kinda) fixed the interior lights off timer setting. It now displays time intervals when hitting the arrows, but the intervals when hitting the arrows seem kinda random. I'll post a video I sent him after these updates and you'll see what I mean. (He never responded to that video btw, and i guess that was that.) Communication with them isn't the fastest/greatest. It's like one tech guy and another person (that I've seen). When I was talking to him it went fairly smooth tho. I joined their Facebook group and reached out to them there. Took a while but they finally got back to me via messenger. Supposedly using WhatsApp is a better/quicker way to reach out to them. Just thought I'd throw that out there for you guys if you need to reach out to them. If you don't wanna bother with Facebook, send em an email and they'll provided details to contact them.

    So, here's the latest update he sent me.
    There was a total of 3 updates I installed. But from what I understand the last one includes previous fixes. Also, I can't guarantee this will work on your unit. They were asking for software versions so there may be different fixes for different versions, idk. But worth a try. I'd imagine they should all have the same version tho for the tacoma.

    How to update.
    Download file from this link
    1. Prepare a USB stick, make sure it is empty, copy the 'simplecanupdate.bin' file to the usb stick.
    2. Connect this usb stick to the USB port on our unit.then go to settings>>system>>upgrade>>plug box>>simple update. Then the system will automatically upgrade.
    3. Save and reboot

    I downloaded the .bin to a USB drive and to the head unit itself when I push any of the update buttons under air pane or plugbox I get no action.

    Any ideas?
