    I can get the radar cruise to work ok (slows\speeds up with car ahead) Only 60 miles on the ODO.

    the PCS "STOP" warnings I have never seen.
    PCS is ON and i maxed the sensitivity
    does this only work over a certain speed?
    ive been testing and cant seem to trigger it.
    (stopped cars and i come up behind the and brake at the last second)
    Tempted to stack some cardboard boxes in the road and drive into them

    I should note that the dealer installed the TRD Toyota Lift in it as well
    little bigger tires too
    Is there a re-calibration?

    Promise to link a vid of your findings?

    If so, I'm in!

    I don't know about min speed for this feature, but I can tell you mine works. Had a guy jam on his brakes because the idiot in front of him pulled a last second no signal turn (that's my best guess, because I was looking to my left when the dash began screaming at me).
    It sure wakes you up lol

    Just talked to the tech at toyota (my Bud)
    he said he re-calibrated it.
    He personally has never had BRAKEs trigger unless its a jam it on situtuation from what toyota tells him.
    Other Taco buds say there's say BRAKE all the time and is annoying.

    will get some boxes.... and maybe print off a face

    Only aesthetic mods so far Leer 180 cap & Clazzio covers on order.
    This person probably drives sensibly.
    and guys are probably very aggressive drivers.
    I have had the warning pop up twice when I was moving at a good clip and at the last minute veered around someone making a left turn. Didn't brake for me though.

    Is there a way to turn the volume on the warning up? I read the entire manual and played around with settings extensively. I found the LDA warning to be so quiet as to not be able to hear it with the radio up and windows down. I was expecting like air horn blaring. I assume the PCS is just as quiet though I have not been able to trigger it just as OP found, to the point that I also wonder if mine is working.
