    For those of you that have installed this light sensor in a vehicle that didn't previously have one, did it only affect the dimming of the head unit/radio, or does it also change any part of the dash illumination, ie brightness/dimming, or not on at all?

    Curious about this also. Nothing seems to change for me when turning on lights during daytime...

    Apparently! I was the third order they ever shipped out of these! Now I am having TPMS problems since I didn't have factory ones to begin with. The ones I had didn't fit & so I had to buy aftermarket. Discount Tire refunded me for the aftermarket ones because they didn't work & I am waiting on Toyota ones now... Method has also been great to work with! I couldn't have asked for better customer service. That seems rare these days!

    Good customer service is so rare these days, I'm glad they're taking care of it. Discount Tire has been great to me.

    Before installing the sensor when I turned my headlights on during the day (while towing our travel trailer) the head unit would go very dim to the point where I couldn't read it with sunglasses on. That no longer happens.

    The center dash illumination I adjusted with the dial and can see it all the time now. I don't think it is affected with the light sensor but I could be wrong. I only installed it a few days ago and haven't driven much since.

    Thanks, but not sure what you mean. The Yakima Overhaul HD and Front Runner load bars both are racks over the Retrax. If you meant instead of the Retrax, I had to have the hard tonneau cover to be able to lock up my stuff and keep it dry. Being a retractable cover, it can still be opened/closed with the racks on.

    That sounds perfect for me then. My windows are dark and I run my parking lights at all times to illuminate the dash so I can see it. The bonus of not dimming the head unit when the sun is out will be a huge benefit! I'm going to order one asap!

    it is located in the brightness setting screen.

    I found myself constantly going through the menu to find the daytime mode. It is a few screens in and I found it to be a hassle each time.

    I'm also now considering now getting the piece that would switch the headlights to auto instead of manual.

    Nice, going to check my mirror to see if it's capable of plug in adapter. Also does this come with a rear camera ? ...or one available you're considering to add ?

    Congrats on the toy! Anyone who throws the "this is a truck forum" is just being a turd. True, this IS a truck forum, but it's not ONLY a truck forum. Just like it's not ONLY a Toyota forum. We have members who don't have Tundras, and it's all a good time.

    If you wanna gush about that toy and all the mods, hit up this thread. Anyone in it will drool right along with you. https://www.tundras.com/threads/atv-utvs-and-accesories.11498/

    Tnx Adam, yeah I figured it was fair game since I picked up the machine with my truck which qualifies as what did you do with your 3rd gen today. I've found most guys on the forum are good guys which is why I really only post on this site, but anytime you're on any forum you can always find a hater or 2.

    Unfortunately now I'm gonna have to find some time to get on the can am forum too so I can check out what guys are doing once this machine becomes more available to others.

    This does not have a rear camera option. Have not thought about adding one, but i see it could be a good idea.

    Well today the Tundra got me to work, the Costco and home safely and in style.
    However the last couple months added new headlights, DD pro fogs, grill, 6112/5160, +2 CB, JBA upc’s, stock off-road wheels, Cooper at3 xlt’s (275/70/18) and painted the front and rear bumper ends. Also anytime fog mod, dc back seat fold down and a sub.
    A big thanks to all that post their work, experiences, advice, pics, reviews and answer questions. I’m super happy with the way my truck is turning out and big part is thanks to all you guys/gals and your wealth of knowledge and willingness to share.
    Before and after. E8F8E53D-9B22-41CB-A65D-9BD2523891E8.jpg05416C21-ADA3-4A24-89D7-B162F8AC5470.jpg

    Removed it and used self etching primer and matte black rust oleum. Then some clear. Holding up good so I did the same to the bumper ends. Matches pretty good.
