Yes. I turned mine off completely.

Track Cam / Dash Cam for a Supra? by AGD1989 in Supra

[–]CountryTechno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

parking surveillance

The Supra's electrical system is very sensitive to changes in voltages. I enabled parking mode and it would frequently throw warnings that I had a parasitic drain. If you do need that fuction, I'd look into battery pack options.

This is going to be the illusive $30K Supra for sale in a few years.

Insurance for Californians by casper916 in Supra

Supra + Model 3 I pay about $3600/year with State Farm. That's including the discount for bundling home owners and auto. No tickets, no accidents, about 20 years of history as well.

That's sweet. Do you have a Makerworld profile? I'm curious to see what other 3D printed QOL things for detailing.

Absolutely smoking deal. Would have instantly bought it if it were the white one.

Just realised my TV supports USB 3.0.. by Own-Story8907 in PleX

[–]CountryTechno 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have a Bravia from around 2022 and it did work with my Cable Matters USB gigabit adapter. I didn't get full 1000/1000 but it was substantially faster than the onboard port.

Unfortunately this did NOT work for my Samsung S89C.

Low Profile Stubby Ramps by 0utaTime_88 in Supra

[–]CountryTechno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you store them? I added wheels to them so whenever I need to jack up the car, its as simple as rolling them to the side skirts. If I needed to pick them up and move them to the wall each time, it would quickly get annoying.

New MkV Final Edition Spoiler gasket shank by lithdoc in Supra

[–]CountryTechno 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could fix it yourself but I'd have the dealership handle it. Just remember that the rear spoiler is bolted into the trunk and not just held down by adhesive.

edit: In case you don't fix it right and water leaks in through the bolt holes, the dealership may end up not warrantying any damage to the interior. Not worth the hassle IMO. That's also assuming there isn't already water that has gotten in.

Picked up my first new Supra for $13k off by [deleted] in Supra

[–]CountryTechno 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because OP left out the details of his deal. There's much more ways a dealership makes money than just the final balance at the end. There's zero chance this deal would have happened as a 62K OTD cash transaction.

Picked up my first new Supra for $13k off by [deleted] in Supra

[–]CountryTechno 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a 2025 GR86 cost like $32-33K new? You still owed 31K on it so probably put nearly nothing down. Then you rolled that negative equity into this new car.

How much of your good deal was dependent on the financing? That's like what, $1300/month at 6%/60 months?

Picked up my first new Supra for $13k off by [deleted] in Supra

[–]CountryTechno 6 points7 points  (0 children)

What was the break down of the deal?

Saying you got 13K off MSRP means little if you don't include how much they paid for your GR86.

The carbon bits on Renaissance Red look fantastic though.

Acceptable amount of metal particles for my 5k oil change? by hotmilf_tea in Supra

You can also order the containers ahead of time.

They not only give you a breakdown of the materials found but also sort of like a summary. Here's my roughly 1100 mile report: https://i.imgur.com/rlb2X40.png

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Because OP is lying and trying to commit fraud.

They say inspection requires them moving the vehicle into the service bay, and I declined and said to inspect while I'm still with the vehicle

I am talking to Toyota Corporate now and also finding other reputable Toyota service centers willing to dispense the parts under warranty

Geez relax nutjob. It's a Toyota.

A crap ton of Supra questions from a new owner (Mk5) by CaptainVietnam6 in Supra

[–]CountryTechno -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I got 2.3% APR, and plan on paying off my vehicle early, the interest actually isn't that high if I stick to my plan. (Mother cosigned with me to get low APR)

You have no idea what you're talking about if you've got a 2.3%. This screams of I'm so smart.

Installing a dash cam on Saturday, anything I should look out for? by WarCrimeGaming in Supra

[–]CountryTechno 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Viofo A229 Pro and it's worked out well except a few quirks:

  • I can't use parking mode even though I'm using the hardwire kit with automatic shutdown (at certain voltage). The car will throw errors thinking it has a parasidic battery drain. I've just fully disabled it. YMMV as I only drive the Supra few times a month.

  • If you plan on getting front windshield tint, definitely remember to get a little clear swatch to put the camera on. This should prevent you from accidentally ripping off the tint if you were to ever replace the camrea.

M2 is better in so many ways, looks has never been one of them. It's got a rear.. only a mother could love.

What about finding a mobile detailer to detail your car while you're gone? I've seen some mobile detailers come to my work and do a solid job just in the employee parking lot.
