    Hello everyone, name is Gio and we got our first 4Runner yesterday from Avondale Toyota. Wanting to learn everything about 4Runners.

    Anyone use the Hamilton Motors CarPlay head unit?
    Also who can explain the L4 H4 knob? I am clueless on that.

    I have a 2006 LS 430 that has been my daily since October of 2017. The 4Runner is for the wifey.
