    For the all knowing soothsayers here, have a question about Android on the OEM head unit.

    I have a 21 ORP. I have a Samsung 22 Ultra. I use a Samsung cable to connect to the data port on the dash, however, I have to say the connection isn't very reliable. Hit a small bump, and it's disconnects, reconnects, and have to select AndroidAuto all over again. To say the least, I'm not very impressed by 4Runners use of the dataport. My 16 Taco had better connection with a 3+2 inch lift with 18 inch off road tires. And so far I haven't done any lift or tires on my 4Runner.

    So am I missing something or?

    There's your problem right there, you haven't done anything to your 4runner, try the 3+2 lift on your 4runner, if it's still doing it, same size tires as your taco should do it and if that doesn't work try a new cable for your phone.

    I use Apple CarPlay and was having similar problems. Found dust was up in my charging port (on my phone). Took none conductive material (low conductive if you are an electronics person I want to be clear) like a toothpick and cleaned out the pocket lint. Worked perfectly after that.

    Yep. If you've noticed any looseness on your charging cord, you need to dig all of the lint out of your USB-C port. It should firmly snap into place when working properly. I couldn't get anything out with a toothpick, switched to a staple and got all of this out of there. It was hard packed.

    Many with many more to go
    Ordered more stuff. The list grows. I had a hospital stay two weeks ago. Couldnt walk for 12 days. Arthritis is a bitch but its coming along better day by day. No getting on the ground for me now. Fortunately I have a friend who gives me a friends and family discount. $60 an hour. Around early June:

    Predator style steps but the steps are removable
    Cornfed 1.5" front, 1" rear
    Will have wheels decided upon by then - TRD Pro knockoffs vs Rock Trix
    Remount tires
    Reroute exhaust to side exit
    Wire in KC A pillar lights
    Add Go Pro mount to A pillar bracket
    Remove letters, paint TRD Pro skid silver to match valance
    Toyota Pro grill change
    Raptor lights
    30" light bar behind grill
    LED headlight and fog bulbs (anything is better than OEM)
    Keeping OEM head unit but changing speakers over to Kicker (anything is better than OEM)
    Rago fab phone/tab mount
    MyWyfsRnnr topo hood scoop cover

    Besides paint we can knock all of this out in one day except the exhaust which will go to local muffler shop and wheels and tires to Discount for mount and balance.

    Yes, it does look weird. It was installed incorrectly.

    To complement what you said, I have tried a couple of different charging cables (with same results). But as others have suggested, I will attempt to clean out any dust that might be inside the ports.

    I do this with my phone often since I work in a dusty environment. It's never gotten bad enough for the cable to not seat correctly. USB-C seems pretty good. I hated micro USB-B. Easily gunked up and damaged.

    In addition to checking the phone’s socket for lint and gunk, check the cable plug. I’ve seen corroded/damaged contacts on the pins of a couple of mine.

    OEM LED headlight upgrade.

    I initially tried to see if I could get away without removing the whole bumper. While I could get to that bolt on the side, I still couldn't get enough flex to get the light out.
    IMG_20220517_090158.jpg



    A few more bolts, and I had the whole bumper off anyway. It's really not as difficult as it looks.
    IMG_20220517_092035.jpg


    Didn't take that long for my first time doing it. Maybe 90 minutes taking my time.

    Rolled over 10k, changed the oil and the air filter. I didn't realize the oem air filter has a fiber pre filter on it. Swapped it out for an AEM Dry flow intake.

    I have the same filter on the way. Should have it tomorrow. Seems to have good filtration while still providing good airflow for a decent price. It seems the quilt attached to the OEM filter makes it a cold climate filter. :notsure:

    The factory airfilter is legit. However the toyota replacement OEM filters from my dealer are both thinner, and dont include the pre-filter. I felt bad when I changed my factory one.

    Really .... interesting, I would have never guessed this was a "cold climate" filter or that such a thing even existed. and I lived in some cold ass places in canada growing up lol.

    as for the AEM dry flow, I've run these for years in all my previous vehicles. I prefer them over the oiled alternative because you don't have to worry about messing up your MAF sensor. I've never noticed much of a bump in power other than on my old brz. which is to be expected as 5hp is hardly noticeable unless you only have 160ish to begin with like in my old brz. They've always performed well and they can be cleaned so I'm creating less waste and saving a bit of coin over the life of ownership.

    Lucky you! Been looking for a set for awhile. Let me know if they make much of a difference. Thanks
