Hey mate, re: no ability to go back to the home position on the maps - if it's anything like my Subaru, press the Maps button again and it "resets" the map app and takes you back to your current position. Enjoyed the vid btw 🙂

You can buy USB ports that fit in one of the blank plugs in the dashboard. Fits neatly and looks factory, they come with a wiring loom to piggy back into the fuse box.

Yes I might put one in later, although so far I've not found a double one that fits the small square switch hole in front of the gear shift, let me know if you see one.

@@chrisp10022 I put a single in the small plug and then a double in one of the large plugs on the right of the steering wheel.

Totally agree with the engine. My friend has the 2020 model with KW upgrade on the engine. He raves about the “heaps” of extra power. But I own a petrol 120 and it leaves the new Prado for dead with engine performance. No petrol variant is a big thumbs down in my opinion as I find diesels so underwhelming & boring to drive. I’ll always only ever own 4wds, but will hold out as long as I possibly can before I have to convert to a diesel because I actually enjoy driving.

Please us you continue driving it,update us on how the Dpf is functioning thanks.

@chrisp10022 2 жыл бұрын

DPF runs almost exactly every 300 km, around 15 mins, only ever reaches four bars on the scale. If you stop the engine before it finishes it starts again as soon as the engine is hot.

Can you please explain what is 2nd start button for? Excellent videos by the way.

@chrisp10022 Жыл бұрын

2nd start means that you will pull away in 2nd gear, good for times when you need more torque pulling out of soft sand or mud.

I have a 2020 Prado 3door .. here we only get the 2.7 lts petrol option in the 3door version..very old and good engine, but sooooo underpower for this car.. also in the 3door trim doesn't come with a rear camera, just park sensors..crazy, and it is much more expensive than a full equipped fortuner for example.. Yes, I prefer to pay more for a 3door 4 cyl japanese built prado over an Argentinian made Fortuner...

Where did you buy the velcro tapes for the cables on your dashboard?

You can get a roll of velcro at Officeworks, I use that for a few things

It's a mix of cameras and screen are pretty poor in the Prado, when i get my VX in a few weeks I'm going to replace cameras and screen.

@shivamvaldi5064 2 жыл бұрын

mate if its alright can you share what cameras and screens you would be getting for your prado? cheers

@chrisp10022 2 жыл бұрын

I'm leaving the standard reversing camera & screen for the time being, I've got used to it now! I did put in a Parkmate camera & small screen for when we are fully loaded & I cannot use the standard camera.

@peterstaggs1956 2 жыл бұрын

Hi XR8. Please can you share your installation as I also have a VX and very disappointed with Toyota’s efforts.

I have a RAV4. The (same) Infotainment system is rubbish compared to not only my previous '17 Sportage but also my VF Commodore although Mylink didn't have Android auto Apple car play...oh. that's right neither did Toyota till 2020:). Oh and the mirrors don't fold and the seats are uncomfortable. Otherwise it's brilliant...sorta.

I find the radar cruise control laughable and prehistoric - if it goes 3 km/h over speed - for example if it's going downhill - it doesn't brake but it sets off a warning alarm that you're going over the set speed. All other cards I've driven with radar cruise just progressively brake - and brake until it's come to a stop if necessary for example if there's a stopped car in front at traffic lights. If there's a stopped car in front, the Prado will brake, and then when it gets to 30 km/hr it beeps and releases the cruise control - to say "sorry mate you're on your own now - good luck". How hard would it be to just get the car to brake properly like other cars do with radar cruise?

@chrisp10022 2 жыл бұрын

Yes I agree, I was wondering what the beep was for when it was on cruise control, but then I saw it was over the set speed!!! At least it does work OK if the car in front slows down!! I guess it's Toyota's way of giving you some tech on a traditional vehicle!!
