    That must be a First or Third Gen item, or one of the option packages. It doesn't work on my 2nd Gen.

    I discovered that I can start my tundra using an App with the remote connect feature.

    Yep, did you see the Valet, Guest modes? It will limit the driving distance, speed, times it can be driven. All sorts of stuff.

    When shifted into reverse the side mirrors tilt down and in onto the rear tires on my ‘19 Platinum (works only if the side mirror toggle is on left or right, not center).

    My wife's Acura MDX has this too. I wish I had it on my '15 SR5. It helps when parking along a curb.

    Wife's '14 Venza does this but I haven't noticed my Limited doing it yet. Will try it with the toggle.

    Doesn't work on a Limited. Must be only with power mirror option.

    It doesn't work on my 2017 Platinum either. I wonder if it's because I used TechStream to disable the auto seat and steering wheel movement upon entry and exit...

    Alright, this is rather embarrassing, but I just found out that I can adjust my headlight level (insert facepalm emoji here). I was just telling my wife the other day that my headlights sucked and I felt like they were pointed super low (turns out the dial was on the highest setting). I swear, I was about to drop 6 hundo on new headlights when I started messing with the dial the other night and was like, “NO F’ING WAY! I CAN SEE!!”

    Air lift, black out emblems, wheels, tonneau cover, tires, led lighting, hidden step rail, remote start.
    Yes, I use them all the time when someone won't move over in left lane, it works.

    Mine tilt up - which is the exact opposite of what I'd like and make side mirror useless. Anyone know how to make them either point down or stop moving when I put it in reverse?

    I had to clean the inside of my rear windows tonight. I went to remove the outer seat headrest and noticed it tilted forward. I did not have to pull it out of the seat back. One of these days I will read the owners manual from cover to cover.

    I'm reading this thread so I don't miss stuff in the manual... now I need to go try my key in the door and see if I can flip down the headrests too!

    And you have to maintain the app connection for remote start to work. Doesn't make sense to me.

    Check the build link in my signature.
    When you approach the truck with the smart key in your pocket, the interior lights will automatically light up when you’re within about 6 feet off the truck (‘20 and ‘21 only)

    That's good to know about those pens. I've tried different pens but I haven't found some that fit
