@@alwaleedalhinai4738 the front sensors are engaged when you brake. If your close enough in traffic for it to be annoying, you’re to close to the vehicle in front of you. This is a factory option in most new cars. My land cruiser and Cayenne have factory front sensors and it isn’t an issue

@@samueliwuajoku2911 I’m not sure mate. You may have an issue somewhere. Could be something a Toyota technician would have to look at for you. By all means, try again, maybe even disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes to ensure everything is powered down and go through the process again. There will be other things that will require reprogramming like power seats and auto windows.

@@achyutkotte6151 thanks for your question. This is a bit of a complicated one, your car would have to be setup, pre wired for it, there is also additional computers, sensors and other components required. It’s not just a mater of checking a box unfortunately. Once everything is installed, there may also be different software required for the gateway that would also require purchasing and no doubt only able to install and setup with Toyota OBD software the likes of TechStream2. Quite honestly the cost of which would make me cringe. It would be a significantly cheaper option to install an aftermarket system which would not require new wheels either. The sensors screw onto your valve as caps. The factory style sensors are installed as opposed valves drilled into the wheel from factory.

@@diemen1814 there is a WiFi button on the side of the camera. The system should announce the wifi is on when it boots up. The WiFi will turn off after a while but can be turned back on with the button.

@@GrantFixes is it just as easy as a click of a button? I have been trying for several days I think the button might be faulty but I’m not 100%

@@diemen1814 it should tell you when it boots up “WiFi on, 5G WiFi” if you hear that, and the little blue light in the switch is on, the WiFi is on. If it’s not coming on and the button isn’t working to switch it on, the unit may be faulty.

@@Sammy.Boi725 yes, for sure it will work without the rear camera. The rear camera just plugs in. If you use the hardwire kit, you can set the parking mode up so it will record from vibration among other settings.

@@cabbagebap350 please confirm the “ZLink” app is installed. Make sure your Wifi is on and not connected to any other networks. Connect to Bluetooth through the “phone” app. If it doesn’t auto connect and open the “ZLink” app, once connected open the ZLink app and make sure you give your phone permission to use CarPlay. I’d think it best to contact the seller about the Steering Controls app. It may be hidden or not installed. Let me know how you go.

Hi thankyou very much I’ve got my steering wheel controls all sorted but I think zlink is for android I’m apple I didn’t make that very clear my apologies 😂

Still can’t connect my iPhone 14

@@cabbagebap350 the ZLink app works for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Without being in front of it makes it a little hard to diagnose. Please check your phone settings. Sometimes you have to connect to the head unit with Bluetooth and go into the settings in your phone to enable CarPlay.

@@tshepopaulsenmoto7930 thanks for the feed back!! Keep us posted on your install. I have installed several of these and similar units in multiple cars and manufacturers with excellent results.

@@GrantFixes Definitely will provide feedback.

@@therightconnectionn a lot of online places have them. I bought mine on eBay. They’re available on Temu, Amazon and AliExpress. Just make sure you get the right USB type for the camera you have. The Azdome I install use a micro USB and are about $25AUD

@@arielrwc have you programmed the controls? If you are in the programming for the steering wheel controls and it doesn’t see the input, check all of your connections are good and tight, no loose pins and try again.

@@sworei5716 thanks for the feedback. I think you’ll be pleased with the look and functionality it brings to everyday driving.

Hey so I got it fitted and everything works except when I try to program the steering wheel controls it doesn’t respond do you know why?

And also is there vertical white lines on yours

@@sworei5716 as long as everything is plugged in properly it should work. Just confirm the plugs are pushed in tight and no loose cables. If that doesn’t work and everything is good, try holding the reset button for at least 3 seconds to reset and reboot the system. If this fails you may have a faulty system. There shouldn’t be any lines on the screen either. Document everything and make a claim if it doesn’t work properly. I haven’t had a problem until for several years now, but even the big manufacturers have DOA issues

I buy them through eBay. AZDOME have official stores and regularly sales with great prices. The wiring kit is a generic for dash cams but you need to get the right USB type. They’re cheaper than the AZDOME ones. For this model camera you currently need a micro USB

I’d be very careful ironing a hood lining material as it is bonded to a thin foam and the fabrics are typically a nylon blend. After a couple of days the fabric settled. The lines were more from the foam being compressed where it was folded. Once the foam relaxed back to its form, it smoothed right out. You’d probably be better off rolling it up or hanging it on the clothes line for a couple of days.

Thanks for watching and sharing. I’m sure it would make some difference, however this car wasn’t even tinted, so the glass is no way insulated anyway. The point was a cheap repair that can be done at home with minimal tools. Anyone that’s happy to go further and spend more, go for gold. 👌

I occasionally have a bit of trouble getting the menu up. Start from scratch turning the car off again. Make sure you go to your low beam every time and not just parking lights. This is the process for all models with this entertainment system. Take it a little bit slower in case it’s not registering the switch. You have I believe 3 seconds to complete the sequence which doesn’t sound like much but is actually plenty of time to get it done. I did also notice if the headlights were activated (automatically on from low light levels) I couldn’t get into the menu. I hope that helps. Let me know how you go with it.

Good idea mate. On some cars there’s quite a lot of teeth on the spline where marking with a paint pen, texta or even a scriber is important to keep the wheel straight. On the Cruiser the spline is pretty course and much easier to get right. I really should have mentioned it though. Next time, thanks for the heads up!

Yes you can. I did explain in the video which cables you need to connect to use the microphone. I am going to be connecting it on this car as Sarah has said the call quality is very poor with the microphone in the unit. The OEM USB in this car was not working before and didn’t work afterwards, must be faulty. It isn’t required for CarPlay anyway.

Thanks for the answer, I just bought the exact same unit for my rio. Did you found a way to change the default theme on the radio?

@@epixit I think you’ll be pretty happy. I have basically the same in my Porsche Cayenne and a few other cars I’ve since sold. You can change the name of the unit for Bluetooth search in the Bluetooth app settings. You can also change the passcode there. I’m not very Android savvy but I’m sure you can change the units name in the android settings, just like on a phone. Good luck with it all and keep me posted. I love seeing other people DIYing.

@@GrantFixes Great video! Do you want to make a video when you are going to connect the car microphone? I am looking for the right plug and how to connect the red and black wire to it. Which processor and how many memory do you have? Thanks!

@@Thomas-bk5nj thanks for the feed back. I actually just installed a complete microphone on the car last weekend. The plug is very easy to fit to the factory wiring and I would’ve done that but I had a spare microphone and not a plug. The unit installed was an 8 core 2.0gHz processor with 6gB RAM and 128gB ROM. It works great without glitches and is pretty responsive. This is a link for the correct jack/plug au.rs-online.com/web/p/jack-plugs-sockets/0392633 It’s available through most electronics stores and online most places. You solder the black to the outside tongue and the red to the centre. I can do a video of it if it helps, let me know.

See link below. She is very happy with the head unit and it looks great. Spend the extra money on the larger memory and faster processor, it runs far smoother. The wireless CarPlay does take a little bit to connect, probably close to 10 seconds or so. Otherwise, use an external microphone, the one in the head unit is crappy.

Yes, a translation below. “I have been using this technique for two and a half years and I did polish first, leaving the finish well and then three coats of good quality clear and I live in a tropical area. With 35°C average” Keep up the good work! ¡Sigue con el buen trabajo!

I beg to disagree, polishing removes the contaminants but leaves it open for more sub damage. A good quality 2K clear automotive paint is UV stable. It will last as long as the clear coat on your cars paint work or longer. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years and can guarantee you it lasts. I’ve polished lights and treated them with waxes and even ceramic coatings. They only last at best a year or two before they are worse than before. A lot of headlights have an acrylic protective coat on them that doesn’t last and here in Australia with the harsh conditions we have, it delaminates and will need to be removed. I encourage you to research the paint if trying it to ensure it is a UV stable clear.

Where about are you? If you just search for it on eBay, there’ll be options. Depending on the options your truck has, there is a couple available. Most of them just have a single stage airbag and no steering wheel controls for radio or trip computers. Some have 2 stage air bags and the new models have all the steering wheel controls so are slightly different.

Does it matter if the tab pulls out completely? Mine is the same as this but it pulled completely out instead of breaking off

@@nathanhampton5711 no mate it doesn’t. Some pull out completely, others snap the lock off. As long as it’s turning and not scraping on the inside, you’re good to go

Have you programmed the controls on the head unit? Every head unit has a programming sequence and most you select the function to the button you pressed. The facia kit decodes the can-bus signal and has link wires that may need to be cut depending on the brand of head unit you’re installing. If everything is connected correctly and you can’t perform the program, the facia may very well be at fault. I really don’t rate this facia quite honestly. Let me know if you get it sorted or if I can offer any more direction

@@GrantFixes I've tried programing the controls. How would I know which link wire to cut ? I think this could be worth looking into.

@@michaelyoung98 the instruction manual will tell you which colours to cut dependant on the brand of system. Pioneer didn’t require any to be cut but Alpine and Sony do. I can have a look and see if I can find the manual to let you know. What brand system have you installed?

It’s a Chinese one. Not sure which brand. Android version 12. Everything else works great

@@michaelyoung98 you may have to try different configurations with those wires to see what works. No doubt it’ll work, they typically copy someone for most components. I do a lot of Chinese Android systems. I’d be interested to hear if you get it working and which configuration it is.

The kit I used came with a 3A fuse for the dash camera power, then you just put the fuse that was removed for the fuse tap into the tap to power the original circuit with the original protection. Using larger fuses can cause over current potential and possibly melt the wiring.

From the head unit since I had to run wires to the rear for the camera I was installing at the same time. You could tap into the fuse panel if that’s easier with a fuse tap. We use those for dash cam hardwire kits. You simply remove a fuse controlled by accessories or ignition and plug in the tap which gives you a secondary fused output. Cigarette lighter and head unit are easy if you don’t have one.

Thanks for the comment. More to come this week. I’d appreciate it if you subscribe and share if you’re happy to do so.

@GrantFixes will do, being a painter you are pretty handy in the trade. I'm about to embark on the wrapping rabbit hole. Done bits and bobs but booking a course shortly

@@Deano084 best advice I can give is give it a go mate. Buy some reasonable quality wrap, the cheap stuff is a lot harder and typically inconsistent between adhesive strength and conform ability. Best value for money I’ve found and still gives a good finish is Kioway which can be found on Ali. Very forgiving. Let me know how you go.

@GrantFixes cheers mate, I did my fg ute roof and a mates fg sedan roof in Avery gloss black and it was certainly harder than it looks! I have a old ef so I'm thinking of doing it but unsure how to tackle the roof and 1/4s as they are all one. I'm assuming 20.metres would do it? I love the grey you used!

@@Deano084 I did my Land Cruiser in a 18m roll. Check out Paradox, he has some very good videos that show how to make the cuts work. I have laid it out in a couple to minimise the amount of wrap required. Another good channel is CKWraps. Christian gives a lot of pointers for edges and cutting. What state are you in? I’m in Penrith NSW

Thanks Elliott, much appreciated

Thanks mate, I very much appreciate it. I am self taught, made enough mistakes when I started on my own cars before I tackled anyone else’s. My best advice would be to just give it a go. I’ve had some signage experience but it’s a different beast. Check out Paradox and CK wraps. Those guys have great ways of explaining things. I mainly use KioWay wraps, which can be bought and delivered globally at a great rate through AliExpress. If you have any questions, or want to show me what you’re doing, I am always keen to see how people are doing and help where I can.

@@GrantFixes genuinely top work and I hope the lad is happy with the car. And will defo give you a shout if I dare to attempt wrapping!

Hey there, thanks for watching. I do t have access to such tools unfortunately. I will try and get a couple of images and a bit of a visual guide for you. Every make and model are slightly different and the options vary, ie sunroofs and roof mount monitors. It may be easier to send the cable down close to the side to bypass these fixtures. There are ribs across the car that the top roof skin is bonded to. You need to go under those. A small bend downwards on the end of the tongue can aid in negotiating these areas. I have another dash cam video being edited now on a Ford Focus with different options.

I have no idea mate. They weren’t my bikes, I just wrapped them

Can almost say the same, with a lot of patience I managed to get the mounting bolts without snapping any, a lot of in and out and patience, but the dam pins to the rear brake housing are seized as fuck, can't get them to budge, even putting a small screwdriver through the hole I can't turn em already broken a few little screwdrivers, don't know what to do 😂

It depends on several factors. The quality of the wrap is a big one. The type of wrap, Mattes and metalics are particularly susceptible to sunburn. Whether the car is garaged or in full sun all the time and how well maintained it is. You can expect between 1 and 5 years before it starts to show signs of fatigue. A lot of wraps can be treated similar to paint and a ceramic or graphine coating will make them last significantly longer.

Engine mounts can go at anytime and for one reason or another some cars have more problems than others. It’s easy to diagnose with a second person. Just apply the park brake firmly and watch from the side of the car in case it creeps as the driver accelerates in forward and reverse. Not a lot of throttle is required. A slight vibration at idle is usually felt also and can give a mis-diagnosis if an engine misfire. I believe the car in the video had mid 100 thousand ks. The mount rubber is typically what gives. Check that first and see how you go. Clunky changes can be a few other things and most of them a bit more serious. For example, a torque converter or even transmission failure. Also make sure your transmission fluid isn’t low or burnt smelling. Good luck, I’d be interested in hearing how you go.

It was an on the spot answer. I do like it, well done.
