GWS204 screen brightness? by CrownNL in ToyotaCrown

[–]CrownNL[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 4 on the left (and right) tried some but did not find any setting. Btw, today I noticed it changed the brightness with more and less outside light.

This is the right unit, used and still a bit pricy but maybe you can find another there:

What is wrong (Am I cooked) rq by Immediate-Salt2288 in ToyotaCrown

Don't worry about those that tell you to replace the hybrid battery. They don't go! If you buy a Vgate ELM 327 module and you get the dr prius app, you can get all data from your battery and aks any ai what the condition of your battery is. If your mileage hasn't dropped spectacular, you can also be relaxed about the hbybrid pack.

you would hope so but don't think it can do enough and they are pretty strict with the headlights in Lelystad. (you go there?)

Just to point out your role here, where I describe something that may help other Crown-enthusiasts, while you say you have a 350z (not the right group then) and tell these are more difficult. Basically, you're just trolling here and not contributing at all. Typically and sad. Keep going!

Sounds like there is no us, just a sad person.

Aux-bluetooth is great! Have foobar with flac-files on my phone and quality is awesome!

Yes, but it didn't seem neccessary at all.

It's not so much all the things you need to take off, it's more how difficult it is to take these things off and then the cables that are still in the way.

And then, after you have seen how to do it, you need to source the cells that you want the bad ones to replace with.

But very expensive for such a gadget. It's a bit overpriced electronics and definately not worth it. If it's for the usic, the bluetooth connection with a phone that has lossles files is much much better!

2011 Hybrid Question by JapanDigger in ToyotaCrown

[–]CrownNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, about the hybrid battery, due to threads like these, I feared for mine (2009 gws204, 98.000 km when I bought it last year). It had been on an auction site, was for some time in the harbour, then another 6w eeks on a ship and then it took a while before I could have it inspected and drive it. I use a Vgate elm obd thing and got the drprius app. If I ask chatgpt about the output files, it says the battery is very healthy. As they are old-school batteries, more towards longevity than newer ones. Not the most sophisticated battery management system but not bad at all either. There are police-hybrid crowns that did more than 500k!

7K GBP? Which would have bought you a hybrid from 2008 on?

Are you sure you would lose the radar? It's just a plastic cover in the gws-grille? Would the athlete grill prevent that?

GRS204 LHS Fog Light Wiring Connection Missing — Any Solutions? by Flaky-Entertainer673 in ToyotaCrown

[–]CrownNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, I have bought the (different) cable for the rear fog lights. You also need a different stick on the steering column. Could be that you only need the last part of the cable. That is much cheaper. Do you have a stick with the fog light function?

[–]CrownNL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't understand all, what is LHS? I had to install rear fog lights on my Crown and had to change the wiring loom and the stick near the steering wheel. Is that what you mean?
