So, as an update to this, I gave up on the Dongar adapter. Ordered a VIOFO HK4 hardwire kit for my cameras. Followed the instructions from the second post in this thread, and BOOM!!, parking mode activated. So frustrating to try and have this work with the Dongar, only to have really mixed...

I think a lot of the “10,000 mi oil change” rhetoric from the manufacturers has to do with “cost of ownership”. Look at C&D or Consumer Reports and that’s a factor in determining vehicle quality. Let’s ruin an engine so we can save $1500 in the first 10 years of ownership.

Any pictures of said fix?

I’m liking all the suggestions everyone. I figured being so small, I’d need an exact fit, thankfully, looks like I was wrong. :thumbsup: Virtual beers for everyone!!

I’m looking for a new filter wrench for the thimble of a filter on our trucks. My band-style is too big for this little guy, and I had a devil of a time getting the old filter off by hand. One I’m looking at is this style, but I need to know the diameter of the filter, so I get the correct...

for the non-JBL system, you need to tap the front midbass wires going to the door speaker. As you may or may not know, Toyota gimped the rear speaker outputs so bad they may as well have not put them in.

Pulled the A-Pillar. It’s the only way to get access to the wiring that runs behind the airbag, to zip tie the camera wire to, and the hole near the front of the dash, to feed the wire through to get it to the rear. The dash is the hardest part. Getting to the back window after that is a breeze.

So, I’m in a busy parking lot ritght now, and with the engine running, parking mode kicked on for me. These are my settings.

That’s an interesting theory. I’ll pay more attention to IF my camera goes into parking mode in high motion situations. I know it does in my garage (of course), but you may have stumbled onto something here.

Not sure what to say next. You’re describing my functionality exactly. I’m just trying it again right now, but in “timed” I get the green flash as well. So I don’t think it’s the A->C adapter, the cable or even the Dongar. How are you making menu selections with the camera, app or in camera? I...

K, going to sound like a stupid question, sorry. Is your dongar adapter switch in the middle position? When you go from truck running (red) to off (green), does it do that? Because if it’s not, there’s no point in trying other stuff.

The only difference in our settings, is that I have it set to start a timer 90sec after ignition off. I wonder if it’s your A->C adapter. Is it data or just generic?

Every time I’ve checked it, yes. It takes anywhere from 5-10 min to kick in, but it does kick in. What are your parking settings? I have mine to start after 90sec, and auto-event recording.

I’ve been considering these for my truck, and I think I know why you’re having issue with the power port door. My BakFlip cover doesn’t drop the OEM rail at all, it sits just above. In that case, my door will open up fully, because I will have gained 1 inch in height.

Thank you. You’re a gentleman and a scholar, I don’t care what others say about you. ?

A good point. I’ve never rolled in a parade with my Tacoma (yet), but I’ve not had A/C trouble in 25*C weather just idling, waiting for my wife for around 1/2hr. But I was in “Standard” driving mode. Having the truck in “Eco” makes sense that the BCM would slow down the A/C for MPGs.

Maybe @afuiw should ask @Dongar for a cut on pro adapters for VIOFO cameras. :crackup::cwl:

I’m searching marketplace for winter wheels (yes, I know, sad in the summer), and came across these. I’m not sure if they fit, I’ve seen some Tundra wheels mentioned on some forums, but I don’t know what to look for. They’re 18” and fit a ‘21 and up Tundra.

I used tinfoil in my garage to create my faraday cage. :oops::oops:

Don’t credit me, thank @afuiw
