    The headlight switch has to be in the position where the headlights aren’t on but the interior lights are and then turn your fogs on.

    1. The automatic transmission will learn your driving habits over time and stop hunting for gears as time progresses, mine stopped at around 1200 miles-ish
    How do you know it stopped at 1200 ohs miles?

    I bought mine pre owned with 11k miles on it. How will the transmission respond to a different driver, or is it already set?

    Maybe the last driver had a chronic spasm in his right leg. ;)

    Does anyone know if there's a way to control bluetooth autoplay on a 2018 Tacoma? I just bought one. In my old vehicle (2012 Camry), the music would just play as soon as I got into the vehicle and it connected to bluetooth. In my truck, this has done this a couple of times, but usually it doesn't start unless I play it via my phone. It's not the phone, because this has worked for years with the Camry, but as soon as I got the Tacoma, it became a problem. I don't see anything that controls autoplay in the settings menus in the truck.

    Do you need to know, or care?
    Without going way back into the posts, if this was regarding the transmission learning mode, than yes it's confirmed.

    Note 8. I also noticed this morning while driving to work that the controls to move between songs doesn't work. It did work before when it automatically connected. It's kind of annoying, because I have to use my phone to switch between songs.

    i think it's actually an android problem. i frequently have that issue and have to restart bluetooth on the phone to get it working. a friend of mine has the same phone and same issue in a mazda.

    It's strange, because I never had this issue with my old vehicle, a 2012 Camry. It worked fine all the time. And this issue persists after rebooting the phone.

    anyone know how to remove a contact from the top 4 list thing?

    I added one by accident and cant remove it now lol.
    I can hold it and change it to another contact yes but want to completely remove it so that I don't have a contact to call there as I tend to hit it by accident when going for the volume knob
