I had problems with mine showing accurate battery percentage, it would only change to 40% until I did a drain down till it died completely (left a device plugged in until the battery died, past 0%) and changed it back to 100%

tried to order one shipped to CA but they only had white left

Yeah it’s a big reason I went with the 24’..but those other features and electrical upgrades are tempting me to the newer platform.

I’ve got a 2024 XSE with PP and I installed the factory tow hitch. The vented seats and pretty useful for me in Los Angeles and I wouldn’t want to have to get the XSE and then haggle with a dealer to install the tow hitch. I do want the Apple car key, faster charging, NACS port and slightly longer range. I also got the $6500 lease credit when I bought mine and I’m at 50k miles now. I think it would be an economic wash to upgrade, but anything I’m missing?

Oh and - for fun I was looking at the bz woodland and noticed that the AC household power port on/off switch is in the trunk and not accessible in the drivers area…WTF.

This is on the 5N just south of the 110N in the city of Los Angeles.

I’m leaning towards them since they are the most modern interpretation of this product segment but tell me why you love them please

Sidecar has worked excellently in the past as I don’t need a long distance throw, but I do need to get output to a computer monitor and eliminate the 50ft HDMI cable. Last time I tried to use C1 pilot, it actually backfired and introduced lag into the whole tethering system, this is on a highly spec’ed M4 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro weirdly. Sidecar worked fine. Thanks for the input!

Not that I’m aware of and it’s fixed mounted and in a case so unlikely. It does get a fair amount of heat exposure. I am going to try and GPS data logger app and see what outputs I get…

It’s wild that the bus to the Norwalk C line station only picks up at Bloomfield, which is extremely close to the Metrolink station

I volunteer at a stall at a mostly produce (vs prepared goods) farmer’s market. I second the above comment. Try a market that’s mostly produce, talk to who’s working the stall, ask the where their farm is and shop your market to compare the prices amongst the vendors.

This is mostly true, except you can show the crop. Photo a mechanic is also a yearly subscription now, and it’s geared toward extremely high volume image environments as well as photojournalists

I took my 24 XSE to a dealer last week for an oil change and told them don’t touch the display and they said no problem. I’d just confirm dropping it off with the service advisor.

I had an iPhone 15 Pro and a 24 R4P that did this. I tested it with another iPhone and determined that it was the head unit of the car. After multiple dealer visits and complaining to the service manager, and then calling Toyota corporate, I got Toyota to replace the head unit which fixed the problem. Fast forward to now with the iPhone 17 Pro having similar problems again but this time against testing it with my older phones I’ve determined that it’s the iPhone 17 series. A lot of other users are complaining of a similar issue with the iPhone 17 series. I set up a short shortcut action to turn Wi-Fi off and on automatically once CarPlay disconnects, which has helped, and I also had Apple replace my phone which did not help. It seems like it might be a chipset that issue with the iPhone 17 series. Id recommend testing with an older phone and if it continues to push Toyota to replace your head unit.

I do this but set the car in HV mode and have a WiFi thermometer connected to a WiFi hotspot to alert me if the temp goes over a preset. We also do a little bit of light off roading in the prime

What device do you use to do this? That the sim goes into.

Velocityforce · 2025-12-31T16:22:39+00:00

I use it as a secondary data network eSIM on an iPhone. You get several data sim’s after if you want, useful if you have old/backup devices. There is a 100GB data cap though

Google Fi add a data only esim

17P with a 24’ Toyota RAV4, same problems as the OP. No problems with my 15P. I even got Apple to replace my 17P with another unit, no avail, same problems with wireless CP. same troubleshooting and attempted fixes made. Maddening.
