However, in my most recent post on this subject, my dealer advisor also showed me the reset button under the dash to reset the tire pressure sensor as well. It is to the right of steering column and is a tiny black push-in type button. Located under the dash where firewall meets the dash plastic. Not too hard to find and once I did locate it, I put small RED dot with Sharpie Pen to indicate the location of the button. Works like a charm. No need to tear apart and disengage the light. Once you press this button light will flash three times ( I believe) and be that will be it. Hope that helps situation. Skypilot. |

Replying to: cavite (May 27, 2009 11:25 am) Didn't really do anything but add the air. This is a relatively new technology that is using an active component in the wheel to report this. Has this always happened? Did you add anything to the car (iPod interface, other electronics) recently? If not, chances are that it's a bad sensor. Have your dealer temporarily replace each tire, one at a time, to determine if it's a bad tire sensor. Like all electronics, things can go bad. Honestly, this is too new for even some of the dealers. Kind of like the active headrests. I still contend you don't want to disable the capability. Like I said, mine works great and I haven't really had to do anything. I does a good job reminding me to add air when the weather changes. Best of luck! |

Replying to: cavite (May 27, 2009 11:25 am) On most Asian import applications, each sensor has a code that is programmed into the TPMS control module at the factory. If one or more of these original equipment sensors is later replaced with an OEM or aftermarket sensor, the new sensor code(s) must be manually programmed into the TPMS system using a scan tool. That means a trip to the dealer if you do not have a factory scan tool or an aftermarket scan tool with the appropriate software in your shop. Vehicles that currently require this kind of reprogramming include most Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia, Lexus, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Subaru, Suzuki and Toyota models. WARNING: If you have a flat tire on a vehicle with TPMS sensors in the wheels, do NOT attempt to fix the flat by using an aerosol tire inflator/sealer product. The sealer may gum up the TPMS sensor inside the wheel and prevent it from reading normally. Most aerosol inflator/sealer products have a warning on the product label stating they should NOT be used in wheels that contain TPMS sensors. (The above was taken from aa1car.com) |

http://www.toyota-mapupdates.eu/ look at FAQ's Will Operation While Driving be enabled in my system? Operation While Driving is available for updates to 03 and 05 navigation systems (PZ485-X03EU-08 & PZ485-X03RU-08), except for the TNS600 system of 03. wonder if this will be a policy available in the USA? |

When I bought my Highlander in late 2007, I didn't order the navigation system. I'm not really sure what I was thinking, mostly about the price I guess. Afterward I regretted it and went to Toyota to try to buy one. They wanted to charge me $1400 for an aftermarket system that didn't even fit right in the console. They were going to have to frame it out with plastic and put flaps to cover the two big radio knobs. It was ugly! Anyway, almost two years later, I bought one on Ebay. It is the factory Nav system from Toyota. Exactly like what you would get off the assembly line. It was under $1000 including shipping. My husband and brother-in-law installed it today in about four hours...they said it would be easier the next time (I of course hope there isn't a next time.)  If you are one of those who didn't buy a Nav system when you bought your vehicle, and didn't want to buy an aftermarket one because of the way it looks in the console, there is HOPE!. The guy I bought it from has the Ebay name "cantulla". I'm sure others are for sale on Ebay, but I can recommend this guy. Here is the link to the one I bought. He doesn't have any others posted right now, but I'm sure you can ask him and he'll probably list one for you. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:I- - T&item=300330770834

Replying to: caitrocks75 (Jul 26, 2009 8:09 pm) YOU may be sorry that you bought the TOYOTA Nav. I bought 2008 Highlander Limited and my sales guy + dealership "talked me OUT" of buying the Toyota model for one simple reason. The upgrades to the maps are VERY expensive and features of the Toyota model are far more inferior to the latest Tom-Tom or Garmin brands. Plus, the Tom-Tom and/or Garmin upgrades to the maps are MUCH cheaper and much more user friendly. I bought the model you can use as hand-held, use in another vehicle, or out on the boat. Like it a lot and very user friendly. So, for what YOU paid, be READY to spend some money when it comes time to UPGRADE your maps on the TOYOTA model. I am NOT sorry that I did NOT buy the Toyota model. Be aware of tearing apart your dash and voiding any warranty features as well. Good luck.
