What have you done to your 2.5 gen Tundra today?

Only works if you have CP or AA in the OEM unit right?

 

Yes...the 2020/21 does.

 

Nice upgrade, I kinda like the fact it still keeps the cd player…. I have a few cds I still like to play. This website is expensive.

Same concept, but a little cheaper. Have seen good reviews of this one as well

 

Looks about the same. I actually meant Tundras.com is expensive.

 

I know yall are talking about an integrated part, no wires, no fuss... but for newbs surfing the topic, Scamazon plug ins work fine for most folks.

These do not work for 2014-2019 models. All of the quick plug in adapters need existing CarPlay units

edit: just for clarification 2014-2019 Tundras did not come with wired CarPlay/android auto thus needing an external module hardwired in. 2020-2021 Tundras with wired CarPlay/android auto can utilize usb wireless adapters

 

Got 112k miles and everything was fine until about a month ago and started getting these dash lights/ warnings.They will clear out after the truck sits for awhile.Today it shifted funny around 3rd or 4th gear and dash lights up with check engine light this time.Plugged in the OB2 VEEPEEK and got these codes.
Yeah I've done 3 drain and fills with Toyota WS with correct level Temp check and flushed the brake system last month..... I'm scratching my head

 

Out of curiosity do you tow a lot?

 

Nice. I bought the Gen3 tundra version and love it.. installed yesterday 10/4/25... That thing was ice cold this morning. Hahaha. Looks great.

 

Not yet but when I retire in 2 years it will be my daily/ tow driver.

 

Added an Undercover LUX Tonneau Cover to the truck.

 

When’s the last time you did the D/F? But looks like you have a couple solenoids causing problems, or line pressure issues, if I remember right those won’t be triggered by a bad torque converter

if you’re interested in fixing it yourself I can pull up the repair info for those codes

 

What's crazy is I disconnected the negative battery terminal for about 15 min reconnected and no check engine light.Went about 5-6 miles down the road to pick up the wife and no codes,no dash lights but had it in S4 the entire way there. On the way back had it in D and it acted like it wanted to misshift but I gassed on it a little and it never coded.Please send me those repairs for the codes and if it does it again that's what I will do.

 

So the tranny needs two trips to set codes, when you lock it into S4 you keep it from going into overdrive which is probably where those start acting up (or during flex lockup or full lockup); when my TC was going bad I could drive it in S4 all day long and never set a trip, but the second I let it go into overdrive and it entered flex lockup it started the DTC

 

Installed 6112s (w/ a CB shim on driver side), and CB bumper shims.

 

Looks like it fits nicely. How is the quality? I had an ARE on a previous truck and thinking about another one for traveling.

 

I believe, according to my manual, Toyota recommends looking at the non trans related codes first. Look at your brake system first as it will affect the rest. I was just reviewing this last night for my transmission I sent out for a rebuild.
766 is the S4 solenoid
776 is the SL2 solenoid
2714 is the SLT solenoid
Check ground on trans. S4 will prevent the upshift 3-4 and slt stuck on can cause low line pressure. Debri in valve body or? Lots of things to check out.

 

Installed the black TRD exhaust tip. Install was a piece of cake. Removing the chrome exhaust tip that was on there was quite challenging. I ended up using an angle grinder to split it open, and even doing that it was still fighting me all the way.

 

Get rid of that sway bar while you still have it unbolted

 

Installed new dash cam, old one stopped working. Old one was a single front facing, this one is front and rear so made a little bracket for the rear.

 

Nice! What brand and how close does it sit to the rear window? If you go down a bumpy road will it rattle against the glass?

 

Look like the brand name is WolfFox, base off of the front camera photo. If you zoom in, you can see the brand.

 

Thanks!

 

WTH???

Hope this sorts out w/minimal cost and BS...

 

How is the battery in your truck? I have seen all kinds of codes when the battery is weak (including the ones you are showing).

 

@BR73 like mentioned battery condition. Wasn't their an issue with the collision sensor system? Im not up on a lot of the late 2.5 systems. Also brake sensor. If SLT is stuck on it can reduce line pressure for shifting. Along with S4 for delayed upshift from 3-4 and 4-5.

 

I tried to remove my chrome tip today and add a black exhaust tip. Ran out of time. I’ll get the angle grinder out.

 

Pictures Please

 

Looking these back up on Amazon, they're listed now as "RP Remarkable Power Tundra Fog Light". I did use some different bulbs (Auxito H11 LED Foglights). The plastic mounts fit well and no complaints on them holding up. All working well now for a year.
