Another item that can be adjusted if the auto AC function, if the temp you set seems to cool or warm, there is some adjustment either way for that setting

This launch unit is bascially a full bi-directional scanner so it basically does eveything most people will need. This the small form factor, intially the vertical one, but the horizontal version which I think is better. They it for several car brands. The only difference is the software, they...

glad to help, in fact all the bi directional scanners for toyota/lexus will do pretty much all techstream functions that most people need. This is usually always more then carista, altough I think some of the phone app based are full featured as well like the Topdon unit. The reason I went with...

Its a launch scanner, so great software just with a smaller screen and a wired connection, but cheaper because it has only toyota/lexus software preinstalled, it can add other cars as well if you pay. It's nice because it has all scanner functions, just nice for occasional use. The setting for...

I disabled the auto tilt/extend function of the steering wheel on my LX570 through the settings using a launch scanner. I think carista and the more basic app scanners might not allow access to all the available settings. I think any regular full scanner will be able to do this. So no techstream...

I went with the Defender ms2 new version, stock size, its extremely quiet, good grip, no complaints at all.

On the 8 speed auto, I checked TIS procedures. There does not appear to be a cooler/tranny thermostat bypass to pin in the parts diagram and there is nothing in the procedure to pin it open. I can see this on the 6 speed auto. Can anyone confirm?

Start car and warm transmission to 115F, open drain plug and then remove overflow pipe, drain until it trickles and replace overflow and plug. Finish this process before 125F or so.

Based on pictures of the tailight, the garnish is held in to the taillamp, at 3 points. Partsouq shows the back of the chrome trim that confirms this. It looks like plastic clips holding it in similar to the ones that hold the door card. You might be able to pop the chrome pieve off without...

Seems like you do need to get the rear sensor back in the right spot so the car sits level. I wonder if it’s maybe the new tires you put on. If they are like E rated or very stiff off road tires that can affect the ride significantly. Otherwise I can’t see the dampening being unless the uneven...

In prettt sure the eco light on/off has always been there to change

The ECO light in the gx460 is just a light, it indicates when your throttle position is in the best spot for fuel savings. You can turn this light off in the multi function daily. I believe there is no shift map change or throttle response change not the gx460. There are changes though in some...

I flushed the system, each corner 2 times and took about 1 and a half of the 2/5L cans

I would assume since you cant really get all the coolant, a simple way is to just flush the radiator every 30k. Nice and simple, don't need to get at the block drains. That way you are swapping in decent amount of coolant often without too much hassle. That way its just part of the other...

Once you start the reset, it takes quite a bit of time to register all 5 wheels again. When I rotated wheels/tires, I reset through the display, I had to drive 5-10min before they showed up again, all tires showed -- until then. Mine is a 2023
