On this video you showed those little "ripples" on the top of the drivers door handle to look the car doors. Wow, Steven...I would NEVER had found those without your video. I had to go out into my garage to look at our new Highlander we have had for a week. And yes, they are even on the passengers door also.

Thanks man. about Wireless Door Lock When Opened -- long before we have smart key, I've developed a habit to lock my cars with the hard button that is on the door panel. Passenger door also has this button. Before smart key this habit was a bit dangerous since I always has to make sure that key is not left in the car. Now when smart key cannot be left in the locked car, it's actually easier and and faster to lock with the door key and don't take a key out of my pocket.

Hello Steven awesome info like allways!!! Quick question I have a 2022 Toyota Sienna and I was playing with the Radio system a littler bit and I found a setting that if I go over the speed limit the sienna will make a beep sound. I setup it if to make a beep if I go over 1 miles over the speed limit. My question is... How can I remove it? I do not remember how to get to that setting. It is bother me ☹️ lol Can be also some setting in the steering wheel in the info entertaiment . I remember I can choose between 1 mile , 3 miles or 5 miles over the speed limit to make the beep sound.
