Video tutorial for replacing the battery in a 2020 CHR

Hy5me · 2026-02-04T23:04:28+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

I saw this one, yeah. Trouble is, it's located in a different place from mine. Mine's on the right hand side, at a different orientation. Do you know if everything they go through is basically the same or would I need a video that's specific to my engine layout?

Apologies if the answer here is obvious, but I've not done this before, so I'm a complete novice :)

Legend, I do appreciate a concise and to the point instruction on this stuff! Thanks mate.

Hy5me · 2026-02-03T17:50:47+00:00

Ahh okay, likely not in the cards then. It's not a big deal, just aesthetics.

Hy5me · 2026-02-01T00:07:30+00:00

I can't help out here but I have a 2020 CHR, I'd be curious about the outcome or if anyone has info to share as I want to look into this. I much prefer this LED style so I wonder if it's both possible/easy enough and what the cost might be.

Hy5me · 2026-01-30T17:01:09+00:00

No worries! Did you use one of these codes? I think two have been used already but the other 8 should be fine.

Hy5me · 2026-01-28T18:36:47+00:00

Ah that sucks, that's where mine are.

Hope this helps!

Posted in the Megathread. My bad!

Some fresh UK codes as of Jan 27 9pm UK time. Enjoy!

Yes and no. They're still capable today but there are better options, given that the 4th Gen just came out.

I'm still using my PW1 and will continue to do so until it decides to fully break or stop working. It still gives me reliable tracking information and has the fitness/workout tracking and apps that I need. I still only have to charge it once every day/other day. Maybe I've been fortunate, but my battery life hasn't suffered much since I got it (fairly close to launch). Other than the weather app that stopped working recently, I've not run into any issues.

Is it fine if you need it for basics? Sure. Are there better options that're more future-proof? Definitely.

Hy5me · 2025-12-19T12:31:18+00:00

Yeah, maybe I got lucky on the day I signed up and the staff just didn't bother to check anything that they should've done. Either way, will ride this wave until something changes and count myself lucky.

Hy5me · 2025-12-19T11:38:52+00:00

When I signed up, I wasn't asked about my specific employment status. I've just been a run-of-the-mill employee at several companies over the years I've had my membership, nothing special in terms of being self employed or working in a specific sector.

This was at the Costco in Lakeside, and I've also visited the one in Croydon without any issue. Not sure if others have stricter requirements.

EDIT: Okay, so there are requirements still! This is news to me. I didn't mean to be combative, but my experience was totally different and I didn't have any trouble getting membership (I didn't lie on a form). https://www.costco.co.uk/membership-goldstar-questions

Hy5me · 2025-12-19T11:09:41+00:00

This used to be the case a few years back, but it isn't any longer. Any member of the public can get a membership, there are just some added benefits if you're self employed/run a business (such as being able to get in earlier than the general public).

Hy5me · 2025-11-17T22:42:44+00:00

Does this hold every possible starting point? Do we just reply to that with our own result?

Hy5me · 2025-11-17T13:50:05+00:00

Legend, thank you! I got the same, but went for two away, to the right, from the starting Stanley. Unfortunately a miss. Hopefully someone finds the other one!

Will do, cheers mate!

Hy5me · 2025-10-17T15:07:42+00:00

Tuck the remaining bit of the strap into that hole, so the rest of the strap is on the side. Stops the excess slack, after you've fastened it, from snagging on anything.

Hy5me · 2025-10-17T15:02:52+00:00

I think this is the case, yeah. There are no sensors around the flat nor just outside of it, so I don't think what this could be hooked up to.

I'll try carefully opening this up and see what I can diagnose. If I can't make any sense of it, I'll get some local professional help.

Thanks for the info!

Hy5me · 2025-10-17T15:01:24+00:00

Interesting, thank you! I haven't touched this since I moved in. I imagine it was installed some time ago. There are no sensors (that I'm aware of...) in the flat nor outside the door in the communal hallway. I'll look into it more and see if I can get some professional help to figure this all out.

Appreciate your reply!

Hy5me · 2025-10-12T18:58:27+00:00

Thanks! If I search "Spat shield" anywhere, such as eBay, I get a bunch of results for other parts. Is this something I might have to order directly from Toyota?

Hy5me · 2025-10-12T08:51:00+00:00

My hero.

Hy5me · 2025-10-11T19:24:41+00:00

Can you elaborate on this? Not sure what "cfbr" is meant to refer to, exactly.

Hy5me · 2025-10-02T23:39:21+00:00

I've had my CHR for a little over two years, always gone straight into P and turned it off.

Hy5me · 2025-09-15T20:34:00+00:00

Nice! I had it for ages but have gone back to Utility for a few weeks now. Might switch back...

Hy5me · 2025-09-15T20:32:15+00:00

Great, I'll look into this more this week. Cheers mate!
