No. I ran all new. It's detailed out in a DIY post about heritage grille and diode dynamics light bar.
I tapped the back of the unfinished aux wires for my button illumination though. For me, I had only planned to need the one switch/circuit for the grille light, so not a major deal once I...
connector is:
1/4 in. Fully Insulated Wire Disconnects in Blue
(15pk can be gotten at Home Depot or Lowes for a touch over $5)
Location/position used is as pictured, that photo was fully wired and connected.
Relay and in-line fuse came with the Diode Dynamics wiring harness.

Historically, Toyota warns you at 500mi out from the interval. while I have not gotten there in this truck, my last from the same manufacturer would start to flash the service icon for 5 flashes each time you started the engine once side of 500mi from the last oil change reset. Then once it was...
Countless other threads are dedicated to debunking the misperception that S/S impact hasn't already been accounted for by the engineering team. Feel free to search them up or read the studies showing you've been stressing over something for no real reason.
As for the sound that's personal. On...
Y'all need to research how gps is imprecise. claiming a vehicle is off as you compared against a reference, but a reference of higher fallibility. have you ever zoomed way in on a gps track to see how erratic it is?
Sounds like you shouldn't have bought a hybrid. why are you obsessed about something it's designed for, and because of the hybrid motor, has a zero lag take off to resume?
Tow/Haul forces it to stay on but also forces other systems and settings to different presets that you might equally not like.
If I combine information from other posts, it's not that the hybrid system fails first. The transmission fails, but the hybrid motor shares oil and thus takes on downstream damage as a result.
I could be totally wrong but looking at the TSBs plus that video of the hybrid motor breakdown has me...
Yes. steering wheel, seats, door cards inserts, front door padded arm rests and elbow rests, padded center console, seats, headrests, glove box, and shifter head are all padded and softex
Haven't tried. One of the first things I did was disable DRL. I believe they are more unsafe bc ppl fail to turn their full lights on after dark bc they are misled by seeing their "headlights" on.
Chiming in though because there's one more row to add to your table: lighting behavior during...
The grilles have different mounting angles. And technically the heritage grilles want the camera mounted upside down, and these modified brackets keep it upright but at the cost of incorrect default lens angle.
I had to recalibrate the cameras, yes. Do they work just fine without? Yes. But the front is then pointed too far down and it doesn't line up in the 360 view to the sides casting forward.
Recalibrating allowed me not just to nudge the front to be tilted more forward, but also to adjust anything...
Toyota didn't miss any boat. Qi is charging at best, and it's the phone that decides the charge rate (to the max of the charger). Supposedly the OEM unit is rated to 15A which is pretty much the current max standard.
I don't know a single qi charger that can keep up with or beat the drain of...
Enjoy it. Drive as you want to. Treat it well and it'll do the same back. My lifetime average right now is 22.8mpg with drive mode as comfort for 97% of that and just in regular "D" (none of the gimmick stuff). Road trips are always DRCC driven. Tires are factory general grabbers at 30 psi...
It took >2000 miles / first really long road trip to shake off really disappointing mileage. After that, generally speaking:
Tanks below 20.5 were towing a fully loaded 5x10 trailer + loaded bed (or the dealership burning up the tank during service)
Tanks 20.5 - 23 are around town mixed driving...
