Brilliant comparison 😂

Looks like a 12V battery issue. Can you get access to a volt meter and see what the battery voltage is at rest? I believe 12.4v is required, but someone more knowledgeable can hopefully guide here. If it's low, can you borrow a trickle charger, charge the battery up and see how it is?

Curious to know how you've managed to modify the dashboard display, to present information of your choosing (in this case TPMS) on the dashboard, @Andrew888

I believe someone here fitted aftermarket if that interests you!

I don't understand the eV measurement, but 5 times the cost, for ~5% increase on output (looking at numbers alone here I know) doesn't seem money well spent. How much brighter is that extra 1.4eV?

Looks like loads of rust or something down there where that wooden bar is?

I wonder if it's because the tilted and non-tilted setting are the same? You have control (how, I cannot recall) over the position of the tilt when in reverse. Not just up and down, but left and right too. If the tilted and non-tilted are the same, no visibile change will take place. Perhaps that is it.

A sad situation involving a Lexus in the US. An older Is300, apparently the remote start was retro fitted. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-50756243

The concern is less so the security of the app and mobile device Linas. The bigger concern is with the interface between the vehicle and the internet. That is where the risk of breach is. Poorly implemented security can leave cars vulnerable. Over the air updates (like Tesla offer) help manufacturers react to bugs / flaws (which are inevitable) and fix them. Anyone remember the flaw with Nissan vehicles, where the code to authenticate with a car was simply the VIN? Nicely printed (usually) under the windscreen for all to see. That's like writing your password on a sticky note and displaying it in the window! https://www.troyhunt.com/controlling-vehicle-features-of-nissan/

£1.3K extra for a year of warranty and 20K less miles on the clock seems like a no brainer. That is, if the red leather is no issue...

It's more about having a clear windscreen for me, being able to see and be safe. That's worth far more than fuel efficiency for me. I'm interested in clearing the condensation inside. Outside, I can scrape. It's nothing to do with being cold! It's about defrosting.

So, what specification is safely recommended, that can increase brightness of what is fairly crap light output, without straining the wiring / damaging the lights?

Rookie question... Should I be afraid of upgrading the bulbs? I don't want to melt the headlights. What is safe and within spec?

Same thing you did a mini tutorial on before right, Jay? Or is this something different you've now cleaned?

An F-Sport's wheels are not as efficient. I get about what you're getting in my F-Sport too.

Has the rubber seal been damaged, or has it come unattached?

Google his phone number. Does it pop up repeatedly on car adverts?

At first I had seen that somewhere online, John. Which is better than the nothing I'm getting in mine and which I'd hoped to see in mine. It'd be useful to see Good, Low, etc. I then however found this screenshot of Techstream too. Which makes me think there's lots of variants of TPMS sensors, with different sensors reporting different things. See image below I had spotted.

I'm about to change all my tyres and really not wanting the TPMS needing changing shortly after. However, I'm also not keen on changing all the batteries as a precaution in case I damage any of the sensors that are working just fine at the moment. I've seen on other Toyota forums that Techstream will show the voltage in each TPMS sensor. I looked at my IS300h with Techstream and saw no such value being reported however. Firstly, it may show in Techstream when connected to non-IS cars, so might be worth a look for anyone wanting to see how much life is left in their TPMS. Secondly, anyone got any thoughts as to why a voltage is not showing on my IS in Techstream? I can see temperature, pressure (though seems 10psi too high), etc. but not voltage which would be very useful in determining life left in the TPMS. It may simply be that it's not supported. Thanks

How are these tyres doing nearly a year on @rayaans? Still good amount of tread left? About to buy some I think.

Is the screen comfortably in reach if it's operated by touch? Feels like an Android Auto / Apple Car system would be better. Thanks for sharing your experience!

The firmware they told you was the latest is the firmware the person who started this thread took a photo of in 2016. Your dealer is not telling you the truth. You can find the latest firmware back a few pages!
