Thank you! That one is on backorder everywhere right now so I may drill in the interim. There is a template etched on the backside of the one I ordered, so that will help with location.

which door handle covers did you buy? Are you satisfied with them? Does touch unlock work reliably with them?

Agreed! Don't touch my chrome!
Now that you've completed that process, have you attempted to perform the full 360 degree camera system recalibration? That's where the problem manifests. Toyota has some internal software limitations on how much + / - adjustment each camera can have before triggering "out of tolerance". While corporate engineers would not share exactly what the threshold is, it was found that doing +162 (what the dealership head tech found to be a perfect alignment on my vehicle) threw the system error and would not allow them to proceed without the angle adjustment coming back into the {undefined} tolerance zone.
... I suspect this could be the reason that the heritage grille flip the camera module upside down in the factory setup.
If someone 3D printed their own design, they could have ended up at a slightly different angle requiring less software adjustment and then either: not running the full calibration yet, or be within the {undefined} tolerance.
unfortunately, all I know is they had the truck for over 4 hours and the tech had to call the head service manager over to try and resolve it. that they had to get on the phone with corporate and that when they explained everything to the corporate engineer they were told it exceeded tolerance and would not allow things to reactivate until the camera angle was brought back into tolerance. And that would be an estimated 3h of shop time once I put the correct camera assembly on the vehicle and they could change the grille type in techstream.
In my vehicle, all the buttons for the camera system are now grayed out with the exception of front view, rear tailgate view, and bird-eye view. you cannot toggle the side mirror cameras or or off, you cannot toggle to the bed camera, you cannot activate or deactivate the guidance lines.
I only have their words to go off of, and I don't have the cable for renting techstream and from what I can tell, it's ~$650-$700 for the cable and techstream rental vs. an estimated $500 in service dept fees. I just feel stuck.
I've already ordered the heritage camera assembly and that's not sitting in my garage, which will flip my view upside down until techstream gets involved one way or another.
It's been very frustrating when I was expected to have your experience... bump the camera angle up and recalibrate and move on with life.

yeah, that part, agree. but then you get the grayed-out menus and have to recalibrate to reset.
If you're saying that you were successful in doing so completely without TechStream, I might give that a try... although now I've already bought the proper heritage camera and that requires TS for changing the grille type. {grumble}
I have a question, can’t you tell both by feel and looks that there’s an overlay on top of the chrome? I’ve seen either here or the other forum that a guy took a heat gun and melted the glue on backside of the chrome handle. Then he stuck this or some other overlay on.
yeah the door handles have a cap that is held on with with hot glue , ya heat them up gently & pry them off
i changed my celestial silver door handles to black gloss with the oem door handle caps from Rave .. same exact part but in black instead of silver door works as normal
easy peasy
questions just ask
they were $55.oo a set in December
these are caps & are thick injection moldings Not overlays like the ebay junk
If I end up following through with my Limited order, I would likely be doing the chrome delete as well. I haven't decided if I am going to go with the Pro or Trail Hunter grille, but did the forward facing camera mount up just fine, or did you need to get a new bracket to mount it to the Pro grille?
Pro grille is silver letters on gloss black face
Trailhunter grille is bronze letters on matte black face
The bracket from the limited grille is not compatible. Rave and others make a bracket that attempts to keep you out of GTS+ territory but you'll have to do the service menu calibration/process as their bracket angle isn't correct. If you switch to the correct bracket, it's a full camera assembly. You'll also need to access GTS+ to change the grille setting (image will be flipped), or pay a dealer to make the settings change. Then do the calibration.

Yea I work for a Toyota dealer so getting it calibrated isn't an issue, I just wasn't sure about the camera fitment. Would likely just get the bracket from Rave or something then because its far cheaper than buying a new camera.
The actual sensor unit? no. I plan to reuse the ones I have so didn't bother looking up.
The ring is listed in the post.
Changing the sensor unit itself, or even swapping locations) requires a mandatory GTS+ calibration process.

Received my Rave painted door handle covers a couple of weeks ago. I'm not really impressed my them. Color (Underground Grey) is a hair too dark, and the fit isn't great. They look like the $50 Chinese covers with a paint job, and I wouldn't be surprised if that's what they are. Plus, they arrived 3 weeks past the published lead time. I guess I expected more for $355.
