    Who cares? This never shows everything anyway.
    Not the 5th gen. At least not in Japan. The last Hilux Surf Japan got was the 4th gen. I think the rest of the world went to the Land Cruiser Prado while we got the 5th gen.

    I've been trying to find/create a magsafe mount/charger that was super clean (no wires showing) and out of the way but not hidden in the center console. I have a 9" Pioneer floating screen head unit with carplay so there is no reason to have the phone up high. Finally found a person on Etsy selling a 3D printed under desk magsafe mount https://www.etsy.com/listing/1179450941/magsafe-desk-mount-works-with-iphone . I just mounted the mount upside down with some 3M double sided foam tap, the angle of the dash is perfect and makes the phone is flush with the dash. The magsafe charger cable is just wound up and secured with a zip tie and the usb-c end is plugged into a right angle usb-c adapter into the cigarette lighter adapter.

    The day, date and time were not correct. It is set by gps, and is not user adjustable because of this. I replaced the gps that came with it with Maestro SAT-TO2 cable which allows use of the factory gps. This resolved that issue. While the unit was out made an adjustment to move the screen out away from the dash. Remove 4 screws and the mount for the screen moves out 20mm. This allowed me to put the trim piece in place that covers the screen mount.

    I've ordered from KTJO and spoken with them on the phone. I had 1000% positive experience. They are indeed a BBB Better Business (https://www.bbb.org/us/or/saint-helens/profile/auto-accessories/ktjo-4x4-llc-1296-1000096269). Honestly, I don't understand why people get all over them. I've seen this before on the forum. Is it because it's a woman-owned business? All of their products work 100% and are fair prices. If you call they answer the phone. Try that with most businesses in today's age. I have the power folding mirrors from them and the product is fantastic.

    So I'm gonna address this very easily:

    1) As far as being a woman owned business, that's immaterial to me. If it's owned by the Bride of Frankenstein, and she's selling something I think I want/need for my vehicle, I'm gonna buy from her. As evident that I bought another set of door bowl lights from her.

    2) Everyone's user experience has been different. When I ordered my grab handle from her, it came in. And packaging was slightly damaged after being in transit for almost a month (not something she or the company can control). But when I had questions about the grab handle, I called SEVERAL time. Every time it went to a voicemail. Left several messages. Never got a call back. I emailed. Three times. Never got a response.

    That might be different now that she has more staff.

    As far as all their products working or not, again, each user's experience and knowledge varies. But so far, my door bowl lights have worked without any issues.

    my wife’s Elantra has a compass showing the current elevation.

    i know we have a (crappy) compass as well on the 4R. I couldn’t find anywhere how to display current elevation. Is that not an option anywhere?

    if not, anyone knows an app that can display the elevation on CarPlay? I know I can use my phone to see it but I’d rather access it through the 4R screen if possible

    They probably have more staff nowadays. Not sure what you mean by products working or not. It's that kind of unnamed skepticism that hurts local businesses. I disagree that each users experience varies. If products work then they work. Figuring out how to install is a different story. But whatever. I just don't hear anyone question other businesses on here with the same ferocity.

    Installed RAV 4 side mirrors. Very easy but useful mod. These should have been stock.

    They include blind spot mirrors built into them. They're legitimately awesome, and I wish I did the mod years sooner.

    Nice! Got mine installed just before the holidays and have been very happy with it. Will be curious to hear what you land on for your settings throughout your experimentation with them. Are you starting at 0/0 front and rear? I think mine came set around midrange but have backed off that completely for now and am impressed.

    I have a heart condition and need to watch the altitude here in the west. I installed an altimeter from Amazon made by Sun Instruments.

    I’ve had these mirrors installed for almost two years and they’re still working well. It takes a little time to get used to the driver convex view. Watch out when merging left, “objects in mirror are closer than they appear”! :eek:
