    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    Got front spacers installed and upgraded to 285/65/18 KO2s. Love the new look. No rubbing...but it’s tight! Did a couple wheel locks and crawling under the vehicle to check! Next...window tint.

    What have you done to your 200 Series this week?

    I installed a 12volt solutions remote start in my '21 LC 200 a couple weeks ago and uploaded an instructional video for those interested. It's a bit basic for the folks on this forum but if you want a step by step of the process, it is pretty detailed. The key fob starter works very similar to...

    Limp mode advice -'17 LC

    Thanks. I've had a few dead batteries and it was never remotely like this, so maybe this was just bad luck. I've heard disconnecting the battery might clear them. I didn't know that at the time but will keep a wrench in the car to avoid being stranded. The reduced engine power error pretty...

    Thanks for the clarification on the OEM system. I had one on my Sequioa and this sounds similar. Should have just gone with that as I don't use it that often anyway. The headlight pattern seemed different than what you get when you stop the car in auto. I tried putting the light stick in...

    Thanks for the insight on the OEM starter. I wonder now if it wasn't a $$ issue for the dealer - they really try to make money on the accessories and there is less bargaining tHan in past times. I agree it would be a problem if the drained battery was the trigger for limp mode. I will bring...

    Yes, it is definitely going back to the dealer this week. If they can't assure me this remote starter isn't draining the battery I will have them remove it and install an OEM model. It's a nice feature but I don't want to end up in limp mode(wish they hadn't named it that!) again.

    There has not been a dash indicator on but I agree a bad sensor could be the cause. I will have my dealer check the rear hatch because twice it has happened after working in back of the car. That said, I did not notice the internal overhead lights on when I noticed the parking lights on...

    Yes, they have changed the light stick. The bottom setting is now DRL off, then auto, then parking, then lights on settings. There is no true "off" setting. I like the older setup better. I drove a new loaner Camry and it was similar to my settings. While I initially thought that maybe I'd...

    Yep, new car. They run you through the "accessories desk" after you commit to buy and can add a starter, window tint on the front windows, mats, invisible bra, etc. it is a very different process than when I bought my last Toyota in '10 but, to be clear, these are dealer installed accessories...

    Limp mode advice -'17 LC

    They have quite a process for running through vehicle accessories now after you decide to purchase. They pushed the non-OEM starter because it had better range and a smaller fob than the Toyota add on. It's not a bad unit and other than the recent issues, seemed to work fine. The OEM starter...

    Limp mode advice -'17 LC

    Guys, New LC owner (but long time Sequioa/4Runner owner -25 years with terrific reliability ) who is hoping for some advice and insight on some problems I've had with my 2-month old LC. About a month after buying the car I noticed the parking lights would stay on at odd times. The parking...
