    The Q5 (V9) could be de-pinned and wires with terminals inserted into another connector with mating side to new inverter.

    I can speak to this. I've got the 400w anytime mod in my 2nd gen Taco. I've run into an issue in extended stop-and-go traffic where my dash lights up like a Christmas tree, and the inverter shuts itself off. I lose traction, ABS, etc. and the battery light comes on. If you turn off the truck and turn it back on it is 100% back to normal. I dug around on TW, and the issue is caused by a low voltage trigger that shuts all that stuff off.

    Driving normally, I've had no issues. But this happened multiple times to me in stop and go traffic jams. I would simply suggest turning it off in those cases, until traffic starts rolling again.

    I will add, though, that I have a voltage booster installed in my truck that tells the ECU i'm making slightly less voltage than I am, which ups the output voltage of the Smart Alternator...

    I wonder if Toyota has the same ECU controlled alternator setup as my Titan. There's a current sensor on the negative battery cable that goes to the ECU, and it uses that to determine ECU controlled cycling of the alternator. Basically, the ECU is trying to maximize fuel economy by turning off the field current to the alternator, which causes it to stop charging and reduces parasitic drag.

    Since I have heavy electrical loads due to my accessories on my truck, simply disconnecting the ground cable sensor causes the alternator to charge constantly, just like vehicles always did before they started looking for small economy savings. I no longer run into low voltage situations at idle because my battery now stays fully charged.
    Might work on Toyota trucks too.

    I hadn't heard of just disconnecting it like that, but yes, there is a specific fuse under the hood for no other reason than to supply the ECU with a current to tell it what voltage the alternator is putting out. The voltage booster I mention replaces the fuse. I believe it has a resistor in it that drops the output voltage .4-.5 volts. There are other versions with dip switches to adjust it yourself, but I bought this specific one. Looking at it, you can't even really tell it from a regular micro-blade fuse or whatever they're called (the dip switch one is very noticeable). I did this for properly charging AGM batteries, as I used to have 3 in my truck (yeah, dual battery systems are for the plebs, hahaha, it was 3x group 27 optimas for me!).
