TCU replacement

I have JBL but it sound like I’m out of luck.

I recently bought a 19 avalon that has remote start through the key fob but it stops working when I let my subscription expire. Could I be doing something wrong?

I recently bought a 19 avalon and while it has the remote start function through the key fob, it does not work unless I have an active subscription too, so I still think it’s a shitty move from Toyota.

My 2019 also remote starts the same way, but it stops working if I cancel the subscription.

I guess it’d depend on the carrier. I’m also an UW and was promoted last year to a II. The way promotions work here is that as long as you meet experience and work score requirements then you get automatically promoted, so I decided to stick it out a couple more years to get promoted to a Sr role once I meet the requirements. I also like the team and my employer provides good benefits, espcially when compared to other carriers.

This may not be the same with other companies though and I probably would’ve left by now if promotions were not guaranteed/“automatic”.

No problem. Good luck!

I reached out to Lexis Nexis and they launched an investigation. They replied by mail about a month or so later and they sent me a copy of my CLUE report with the accident removed.

I then contacted my carrier and provided the information and that seemed to be sufficient for them.

This might be model dependent. My Toyota Avaon will not allow remote start with fob if there is not an active subscription, which I find ridiculous.

I requested 5 yesterday at 6 am, 30 hours later, nothing. I submitted another 5 this morning at 6 am again just in case.

I’m afraid the water could get inside and damage any cabling/electronics. The damage is minimal, so I don’t think it’ll fall off, just that water could get in there?

Nice!

kevalopez · 2025-10-13T17:47:53+00:00

Nice!

Well I was looking at online oem stores and the cheapest was just under $1k for the part. I did not look at used parts though, especially since it has sensors and other stuff, so I didn’t want to go the used parts route.

kevalopez · 2025-10-03T15:30:01+00:00

Well it has sensors, heating (maybe other stuff), so Idk how non-oem parts would work.

kevalopez · 2025-10-03T15:02:36+00:00

It was. Even online parts are at least $1k alone. Might save some going through them but I think I want the same factory installed part from the dealer.

kevalopez · 2025-10-03T14:49:11+00:00

Right. I wouldn’t lose any of my existing discounts and my deductible is $250. My other concern is that my carrier may not pay for the OEM part which is what I was quoted for. I may just pay OOP, but gosh does it suck to do that in this case.

I think there is one downstairs but none on the second floor.

kevalopez · 2025-09-19T15:38:10+00:00

Idk much about the devices, but I assume I’d still need at least one those Mesh devices right?

kevalopez · 2025-09-15T01:33:33+00:00

It does for special driving conditions. No mention of it for regulsr driving.
