I know you figured it out, but for others that are reading this, yes, you retain pretty much everything related to checking the status of the vehicle, locking and unlocking the doors, adjusting the climate control settings, etc. Compared to what I had - which was Drive Connect - you'll lose...

So I rented a car for work two weeks ago and it was a 2026 Frontier SV. I currently own a '24 SR5 Tacoma and have put around 30,000 miles on it so I'm pretty familiar with all aspects of the Tacoma and thought I would compare it to my opinion of the 2026 Frontier SV if anybody's interested. The...

I've been on this site long enough to know two things: 1) Some of you will already know this and 2) Many of you are going to be in the "it's a rip off and I ain't paying" camp. That's OK. I recently found out that they're now back to offering just remote Connect for $8/mo. Up until recently...

OEM because the person that broke it has to pay for the new one so I'd prefer it to safelite.

Has anyone had to replace their windshield? I'm wondering what it cost to replace with OEM windshield at a dealer. I wouldn't be paying for it myself so I prefer OEM to Safelite, etc

Happens to me all the time. I think I've noticed it happening when I'm getting a notification in some app, like someone "liking" an iMessage or a Spotify notification. I haven't noticed anything where I would say it's 100% "this". I also think at least sometimes it's maybe due to a background...

The problem is likely with your phone setting. If you go into Android Auto settings on your phone and find under android auto locate “Start music automatically” and toggle it off, that might help.

No. I checked around the vehicle and inside and found no evidence of that. Plus I’ve lived here almost 20 years and have five vehicles and have never had an issue with rodents inside the vehicles. I’m still curious to see if other people may have seen this in their trucks. It’s not very visible...

Not exactly sure where to put this so I'm putting it in general topics. I noticed when getting into my Tacoma yesterday, some white stuff under the seat and when I brushed it out and took a good look at it it turns out it's seat foam. It is clearly coming from the bolster on the driver side and...

2024 SR5 -- Interested in the center console organizer

It sounds like your current vehicle simply no longer fits your changing lifestyle and career needs. Moving to construction sites means you need ground clearance and utility, making the Type R not ideal for daily work needs. If you are fully set on getting a pickup truck, the Tacoma is a great...

Had an issue with that selector switch - not yours, btw - and brought it to the dealer. FYI when i picked it up the service manager told me that to replace the switch with labor out of warranty is $900. I'd hit the dealership.

^^ This is true. MPG improved a lot as total mileage increased. I'm typically around 21 and on a long highway trip will often go 23-23.4 MPG. -- heavy footed driving. Currently at 24,000mi on the ODO

Sorry to revive this old post, but I've read about unexpected rear brake pad wear on the 4th gens. Some believe it might be caused by the dynamic cruise control using the rear brakes more than the front to "keep things smooth" when adjusting speed. Since you seem to have many miles with this...

Yeah, I think the customer service rep was wrong, otherwise why would anyone choose music lovers? Anyway, I ended up going with Drive Connect since I tried Apple Music and wasn't really a fan.... just because I guess. Plus I would have had to get all my kids to agree to move from Spotify to...
