That is ridiculous! Most dealership in your area would do this for free, especially the selling dealership!

The dealerships are nothing but scams ripoffs

Glad it worked good Michael!

No thank you

Not on their website any more. They only offer Yearly or monthly.

Thank you Mathew!

Next time save the hassle and get a tpms sensor that clones the existing ID in the factory ones and bam, switch and the car doesn't know any difference.

What did you do to your blinkers? Curious!

@@chrisbaty3824 I think he added fluid.

@@iluvphysio 😆

my 2005 toyota reverse beeper drives us crazy !! wish this unit would work on it but it won’t

Same here. One beep is much better than continuous beeping.

Actually that's too much for those functions

Dang, I was gonna buy the unit for my '15 Tundra just for the window down feature! I'm gonna email the company first thx!

😠 we get the Mazda 2 Yaris and you get the awesome GR.... J/k beautiful car you have. Wish we can get it stateside one day.

@@TheCarCareNut The HYPE is real, it really is a micro WRC car for the daily driving :-)

Did you know there's another way to disable those chimes and its free? Just wear your seat belt.

@@spiralnapkin Gee, thanks Mother 🙄

@@michaelcorvin4330 lol

I had used the feature on a consistent basis for my Acura, which came with the feature, and probably the one thing that I miss of the TL. I never came across accidental opening, yikes, that could be a total damage event if the car gets flooded!!! Thanks for sharing, makes sense why Toyota opted out of activating the feature!!!

The car is made in Japan but you’re worried about the stupid scan tool. 🤪

@@barackblows1942 China is our problem, not Japan🙄 Btw, are you sure both my Toyotas weren't made in Indiana?

One major issue most Americans fail to grasp, China builds quantity where Japan builds quality. Why? China has over 1 billion people to feed and they’re controlled by the CCP.

@@cj1608 US-built Toyotas contain a higher percentage of US parts than most "US" vehicle brands.

I finally was able to get an Innova scanner with transmission temperature reading. Not all Innovas do it, only the higher priced ones. I got it in a trade for something I paid much less for. What makes a simple reading of what a temperature sensor is measuring so difficult that the price has to increase by so much? I can’t understand.

@@yactabay What model number is your Innova scanner that reads transmission temperature?

@@Fred-kr5fs Model number is 5160 RS and sorry I answered so late. I just figured out how to see what replies I’ve had. Not sure if I’ve figured out how to get notified automatically. I did at one time. Now not sure if I got it right now until the next reply.

@@yactabay Andres Diaz Thank you .

@@Fred-kr5fs YW

I haven’t had much time with Dr Prius to have an opinion on it. But I will say that there’s no 100% accurate way of testing the hybrid battery. Short of load testing each cell which is not feasible

Does the Blue Driver scan for all Toyota Tundra including older model

@@pongkham143 - yes the blue driver will scan any OBD2

I can't find it on your Amazon Store either.

I hear you!

Try wearing the seatbelt, it’s free.

I just bought a techstream cable and called it a day

Crooks!

Can I purchase it from you please?

@@shaozepan7676 are you able to program the windows to go up by pressing the remote using Techstream?

Sell it to that guy in the comment.

Did you even watch the video?

Dr. Prius, much cheaper apps and does much more than carista apps. Works with carista dongle

@@rondhole I'll have to check that one out. I was going to buy this and then subscribe on an as needed basis. I don't need it often.

@@woodstream6137 Torque Pro from many source code source are free and can do many things. But Carista apps are very useful for older Toyota that may need scantool for reprogram TPMS. Other small stuff like beeping in reverse, beep or light on when key lock/unlock, hybrid battery condition (voltage and internal resistance), etc. are free in Dr. Prius. Those are the most interesting part of how Dr. Prius works great on Carista.

I would gladly pay $100 for that. LOL.

Hi! I would head over to Carista website to verify compatibility and see which features work

Very true!

See my comments (above in the thread) where I explicitly compare the Carista to the Blue Driver OBD reader/app.

I haven’t tested blue driver yet

Hi! Most manufacturers have adaptive transmissions. Toyota usually takes a week or two to fully learn.

@@TheCarCareNut thanks for answering but what about the engine I know when u change a battery in a Toyota it goes crazy for a while do other companies also have it engine learning thanx?

Usually with Toyota the idle will relearn when you disconnect the battery.

Hi Tom, so unfortunately that can’t be programmed. Carista has access to the provided customization features from Toyota not their own. The auto start stop is an emissions device and can’t be disabled officially through Toyota.

Tom B, What model do you have? I have a 2021 Limited AWD and it doesn’t have the start-stop. If it did, then I would have bought something else.

The auto start/stop feature on select Toyota vehicles is an innovative feature that lets you run more efficiently. It works by stopping your engine while your vehicle is stopped, and it starts things up when you're ready to hit the gas. It's effective at reducing waste related to engine idling, and many drivers enjoy its benefits. In the situation where you don't want auto start/stop to be active, disabling the system is simple. To the left of your steering wheel, you'll see an "Off" button. Simply press that button at any point after you've turned on the engine to disable the auto start/stop feature. This will let you keep your engine on, even during long red lights. You may want it to stay on so that you can maintain a cool climate by constantly running the air conditioner, or you may want your engine to continue to run because you need the power to haul a trailer. Once you've pushed the "Off" button, the system will remain off for the duration of the ignition cycle. At any point, you can reactive it by pressing the button again. When you restart your vehicle, everything will go back to the default setting in which the auto start/stop feature is active. Note that there are certain conditions in which the auto start/stop feature will not engage. This includes when you've set your air conditioner to MAX, you're on a very steep include, you've selected power or snow mode, your steering wheel is turned away from center, your battery only has a low charge, you're in stop-and-go traffic, or your fluids are at high temperatures.

Hi! I don’t have much experience with the torque app but I am looking into it

@@TheCarCareNut Thank You SIr

If you do it enough investing is a stand alone TPMS tool is the only way to roll. OBD2 tools rarely if ever covers all makes for TPMS.

Hi! You can actually start the car and connect it to the car as well.

Do you use the Carista with Dr prius?

@@johnfitbyfaithnet no

Hi! Unfortunately this one is not capable of programming keys. Most the cost at the dealership is the key itself

@@TheCarCareNut This is also a possibility for a future video - key programming and the many gotchas in that. I bought a second fob for our used 2010 Prius from an online source I had used with no problems, but the fob would not program. The second dealer mentioned it may have been programmed to another car before; they apparently are single use fobs. In the end I bought a fob at the dealer, which included programming. At least it worked and was not much more than the online source plus local programming.

@flagmichael that is the million dollar question and one that embarrassingly an alarming number of dealership get wrong. No Toyota smart key is single use. When you program the key to a car, the car ID gets written on the key for security. However if you do a smart code reset or also called reseeding the immobilizer with the key in proximity of the car, it will actually rewrite the car ID in the key. The smart code reset is what’s used when you lose all keys. This cannot be done without an active techstream from the dealership or through Toyota because it leaves a paperwork trail to prevent theft. But there’s another catch. Some dealerships charge more to reset the smart code than what it costs to buy and program a new key.. go figure

Hi! Unfortunately this scanner doesn’t show live data so it doesn’t the transmission temperature

I have the Innova 3160RS pro and it does have live data and shows transmission temperature.

@@TheCarCareNut the Innova 3160RS Pro has live data and also shows transmission temperature for oil changes such as drain and fill.
