Cheap/Free Mods

I tried to turn the buzzer off on my 2011 TRD. No luck.

 

Moved Ultra Gauge and installed Phone Dock. Need to pick up power someplace under dash.
Can someone tell me where they tapped into 12v on with ign ?

I plan to install a cig lighter plug with two USB ports behind the dash someplace.

 

Hello I have an 01 tacoma and have a quick question if any one could answer thank you! So I wanted to make my turn signals into fog lights and make my parking lights in the corner my turn signals... So I changed the wiring to make that possible so it works great but one thing. My turn signals blink really fast I know it's cause it's not enough power or something but is there a way around that and to fix it? Thank you much appreciated

 

Do you have any pics or a write up on this?

 

I think the speed is determined by the flasher unit. different rates depending on current. you may have to try a few.

 

Thanks for the fog light mod, works great and very easy to do.

 

I have a 2011 base model I doubt the wiring is different... if u look at the picture I posted you can see the wire harness under the ignition to disconnect

 

I tried it on my '13 Taco LTD with no luck either.

 

The dealer can do it in a min. That's who did mine......

 

I wish the doors would auto lock when U put it in gear...

 

Yeah, i believe that the '12 and 13' tacos, and probably the '14 too have to turn the buzzer off in the computer, if you look around a bit i remember seeing a thread showing where to get the cable and the software to DIY

 

Why? Genuinely curious no being asinine. A bunch of my work trucks that I drive do it and I hate it if someone needs to jump out and check a trailer or get something out of the back or anything its locked and gets on my nerves.

 

Ditto... or if people are getting into the van, my boss is a bit quick on the shifter and he's always locking people out.

And IMHO, unlocking automatically when parked is not safe.
There's a reason that every door other than the driver's door on every one of my vehicles is always locked.

 

I don't like more door locks to do ANYTHING automatically. Ever.

 

I liked the way it worked on my MINI - doors locked when you got up to like 10 mph. Could be turned off in the car settings.

Like having the doors locked, but don't usually think about doing it. I'm a fan of the auto lock feature.

 

what then would you do if you leave your keys in the truck? the old credit card to pop the clasp on the rear window is my saving grace. The crackheads around here just smash the windows if they want to get in..

 

okay, on the cabin air filter mod... im a dumbass and bought a non customizable air filter, and had the thing halfway apart before i realized this...... any ideas if this can be done? im gonna need a dremel for the plastic outer frame, the plastic is too thick for my knife.......

 

^^^ best thing you can do is cut it to size and use zip tie to put it together.

Thanks, I'll do that then, damn, was hoping for a nice clean install, but oh well. My dad wants a grille and found one while we were there, but decided to wait, so at least I get a chance to do it right the second time.....

 

Thanks for a great thread
