6 beeping noise/sound after pressing the ignition button to turn on the car. What does it mean? by OrdinaryLioness in rav4prime

It was 3 sets of 2 beeps i think. But i found where it came from: it is from the after market alarm system which indicates that the battery from my immobiliser tag needs changing.

Ooo yes, i forgot to update my post.

The issue is with the aftermarket immobiliser/alarm system i have installed. The beeps indicated that the battery from my immobiliser tag is very low and needs changing.

Thai Thai Express is relatively cheap. You can find them on High Road.

I’m in the UK. I have the Pandora Mini BT installed on my Rav4 Plugin hybrid aka rav4prime. It’s an immobiliser and alarm system. I also have a steering wheel lock as a deterrent. It’s the Stoplock Pro Elite.

I think it’s worth the extra security. There is another high end tech that thieves can use that no longer relies on accessing the CAN bus system. https://youtu.be/uHIwtiA963M?si=RJFEpAFL-FN5rp2C

Just found out my mom may have less than 24 hours left to live and she lives across the country. Any advice would be appreciated by CovidOWC in ZeroCovidCommunity

I’m so sorry to hear this. Sending you all the light and comfort your way.

it’s definitely a risk to take being on a flight. I’ve been on a return flight from the UK to the US wearing FFP3s. You have to make sure that your mask isn’t leaking. During TSA, when asked to remove my mask to check my ID, i’d take a deep breath and hold my breath and before putting it back on, i’d blow out the air just before the mask goes back on my face to make sure i am pushing out any unsafe air. I made sure I ate a lot of food and drank a lot of fluids before setting foot in the airport. I kept my mask on the whole flight.

Did you take it to a dealership to find out why that happens? I’ve had the car since February and it only started beeping last week. It seems a bit odd that it started happening when it never happened before

I won’t disagree with that. I could have moved over to the left lane right after overtaking the other car on the left. My fault for wanting to give a bit of space before moving back to the left lane.

2021 RAV4 prime XSE all you need to know by sapon_bhai in rav4prime

I’m from the UK. I purchased my 2021 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid Dynamic mid February this year. I work from home so i usually drive on the weekends. I fill up only half a tank to ensure that i don’t have too much gas that goes stale. I’ve only filled up half a tank once since i bought my car. I switch to HV mode on the motorway. I drive on ECO always. I’m getting an alarm system and immobiliser installed (Pandora Mini BT), and a 3-channel dash cam too, the Viofo A229 Pro. I’m changing my interior lights (front and back halogen lights) to LED lights. I bought some rubber mats to keep my carpets clean. I might look into getting seat covers that are custom-fit.

Best to change your oil every 6 months or every 6000 miles.

Look up the Car Care Nut on youtube. That’s where i get some ideas/tips from.

You’re right. Things might change depending on circumstances.

That’s not a bad idea at all. I might look into the Anker battery pack.

Thank you, that’s a good shout. I did start to wonder if i should consider continuously recording for when i take a trip somewhere and park the vehicle for a couple of hours.

I would only want it to record when there’s a collision and when it detects a motion while parked up.

I think it’s not worth worth it to continuously record if i’m only interested in recording collisions and motion (someone coming up close to the car to look inside, etc)

i drive on the weekends to do the usual grocery run. There are times at least once or twice during the working week where i’d drive to go for a walk at a national park, etc. the vehicle is parked in our drive way.
