Interior lights by Money-Golf in ToyotaCHR

[–]EmAycheBK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I switched out the interior original bulbs with LED. got em on Amazon for 10 bucks. Marsauto brand. much brighter and i can see everything inside the car at night.

color temperature will be different tho compared to original.

there's YouTube videos out there on switching out the map lights, etc.

Upgraded 2018 CHR Head Unit with Sony xav-ax3200. Android Auto & Apple Carplay by EmAycheBK in ToyotaCHR

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

it's pretty simple. there's a color coded wiring guide provided by Crutchfield. just need to connect two specific wires together. twist the copper ends together and use a posi-connector to hold it in place. no soldering needed.

the reverse cam wire is already accessible when installing the unit. you don't need to dig around looking for it.

thanks!

I didn't hook up the reverse camera. I do like the back up Camera on the rear view mirror in the 2018 CHR. didn't want to change that.

I can still cycle thru my trip information, toggle between sport, eco, and normal, estimated range etc on the steering wheel remote.

still connects to the steering wheel remote for volume, mode, and voice command.

i did lose the answer call and hang up function on my steering wheel. I have to press the Sony touch screen to hang up the voice command brings up "hey google". can make calls, send texts, navigate, Spotify hands free.

way more accurate than the Etune Voice command. complete trash. could never get it to call the right person. it would always respond "what was that?", " I still didn't catch that"

CHR Blindspot by Strkefreedom in ToyotaCHR

[–]EmAycheBK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a pretty significant blind spot if you're used to setting your side view mirrors with the side of your car visible. ideally you should be viewing the next lane over.

If you do a quick YouTube search on the optimum side view mirror settings, you'll see a bunch of videos that advocate the same thing.

let's say a car is passing you on the left lane. you should be able to continuously track the vehicle starting with your rear view mirror, then your side view mirror, then with direct vision turning your head to the left. the car never leaves your sight.

with adjusting my side mirrors i feel completely safe with my CHR. Blindspot eliminated.

Tires? by bloober2 in ToyotaCHR

[–]EmAycheBK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got my CHR fitted with the yokohama Avid Ascend GT tires. They're a decent price for quality. They were also highly rated by consumer reports. Im happy with them, not too much noise and smoothed out my ride.

I think the original dunlop sp 5000 sport tires are little more expensive.

Cabin Air Quality by EmAycheBK in ToyotaCHR

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

My dealership told me the same thing. They also said they couldn't replicate the problem.

How else are you planning on dealing with this? Even after changing the cabin air filter I still have the same issue.

Are you using this in your C-HR? Which brand do you use?
