so there's no auto unlock like most cars where if you pull the door handle when the door is locked it will both unlock and open the door. If the door is locked and you pull the handle, nothing happens. Door won't unlock or open. This isn't really an issue in daily use because the doors never auto lock to begin with. In most other Toyotas the doors will automatically lock when you shift out of park or drive above ~12mph, but in this car there's no option for that. They stay unlocked, so when you go to pull the handle the door is already unlocked anyway.

I wouldn't know any off the top of my head, but I do know that P3 sells an analog oil pressure sensor that can be hooked up to the P3 gauge. Check it out here: www.p3cars.com/gauge-accessories/add-ons/0-150-psi-pressure-sensor/

happy to help 🙏

stay tuned 👀

i used mine every night driving. keeps me from being blinded by cars behind me

Basically to minimise the chance of someone hitting the mirrors, while your car is parked in a parking lot. Especially if there is not much space for the car.

U serious bro?

@@runelord3629lol!!!!!

Same here, I still find myself amazed that I actually have this car and get to drive it everyday. Truly a blessing 💪🙏

much appreciated 🙏

For me it just made me want it more irl, so it helped me put in the effort to make it happen 💪

Glad I could help. If you've still got access to the 1yr free trial I'd at least give it a shot, but after my experience I would definitely refrain from giving them any additional money.

Ok 🤓

let's make it happen 🙏

yeah I fumbled the bag with the audio on this one 💪😭

Yep, you got it down. I quickly toss it into neutral while I'm moving at like 5mph, give it a couple revs then wait till the RPMs drop then toss it back into drive. Def don't throw it into drive too soon or you'd basically be doing a neutral drop (could cause some serious transmission issues)

@@relatablerides got ya, thanks dude! a neutral drop has happened to me before, which scared me, but my car seems fine still. is it rare for it to cause trans issues or is it only an issue if you constantly do it

So there's this joke on the Internet you might have come across, it goes something along the lines of "you only get one true launch in an automatic car" referencing a neutral drop 😂. If you're throwing a modern auto into drive from neutral the ecu generally does a good job of not overloading the transmission with a bunch of torque all at once, usually the ECU will let the engine rev down to maybe 2-2.5k RPMs before it lets the transmission put you in drive. That being said, I haven't tried to test the limits nor do I want to 😅. If you do a neutral drop a few times on accident with fairly low RPMs you shouldn't be worried too much about the transmission, but just don't do it regularly and don't do it from a stupid high RPM 👍.

@@relatablerides sick, thanks dude. also, sick car.

From the factory configuration that doesn't seem to be an option. The estimated fuel range is computed by the ECU based on a number of factors, and to my knowledge there's no way to extract that number as a value on the P3 gauge like you can for coolant/oil/intake/exhaust temps, as those are just simple values that run through the ECU rather than being an "artificial" value created by the ecu (such as fuel range).

For me as an individual, it's not worth it to speak to a higher up. Even if I got on the phone with one of the managers at the customer support center they likely wouldn't be able to do anything in the way of making the app work. I did speak with a supervisor when I called requesting a refund, but as I mentioned in the video they said it's against their policy to refund the one month subscriptions. All I can really do now is put this video out in hopes of seeing a change from toyota. To my knowledge (which could be flawed), toyota runs their own servers for their remote connect services. This exists such that your registered phone can create a secure connection to their servers, and the vehicle can do the same. That way there's a significant decrease in vulnerability to hacking, and I'm guessing that coupled with radio reception based on your vehicle's location is what causes the large delay in the app.

I agree, the app was never particularly worth it for me either. I mentioned at the end of the video that the only thing that mattered for me in the app was just to be able to remote start the car, and if they included that on the key fob I wouldn't have bothered with the app at all. The delay for me isn't 45 seconds though, it's closer to 10 or so. Still too long to be called "responsive" but it's at least manageable.

Yeah, honestly it really does suck that they charge a subscription to use a feature on the car you already bought. And on top of having to pay a subscription cost, their service isn't even reliable. Doesn't feel worth it at all, especially after what I had to go through.

@@relatablerides hopefully more cars start adding app support as a norm since tesla is doing it and they all want to become EVs now

@@Ihatwpwrsona5 As long as the apps work better than toyota's remote connect I'm all for it 👍

That's what I'm saying! Why would toyota include a half-baked system like this in one of their cars? It's truly beyond me. From the reading I've been doing on the forums, a few people said that pressing and holding their "i" button next to the SOS buttom allowed the car to "activate" that system, letting them press their SOS button. I'd give it a shot, though again I wouldn't put too much faith into it.

google it, i had the same problem and to get the sos button to work i had to like hold the i button for 30 seconds then hit it again and then it worked

That's what I ended up doing, dropped that info in the description 👍. Still incredibly disappointed with this experience given how much else Toyota did right on the 86.

Doing a charge back against Toyota while still under warranty is uh.... daring

@@kebobs3727 Unlikely to have any real effect as warranty claims are submitted through a dealer to corporate and process is almost completely automated. Chances of them denying a claim based on this is pretty much zero as it’s likely two different departments.

👀

😁

So haven't gotten around to doing the warranty claim on the tint, it still looks the same way it did in the video 😅. The Etsy puddle lamps didn't fade, they're still just as sharp as they were on day one 😎. I've cleaned the GR knob a few times now using the same chemical guys leather cleaner that I clean all our cars with, and there's absolutely no change in feel. It's not too bad all things considered, especially on the auto all you ever do is go from P to D so it's not too big of a deal 😅. Still recommend it as a good upgrade to the stock knob.

It's not spitting out gas, that's just condensation from the car sitting for a while (I had to leave the car sitting for a good few hours to get a nice cold start)

Much appreciated! I haven't personally noticed much of a difference between before and after installing the exhaust from a performance perspective, but theoretically the more optimized flow of the AWE exhaust should allow for a slight increase of power. I should also say that I have a grimmspeed post MAF hose and an HKS Hi-Airflow filter, so that might also have something to do with it.

@@relatablerides Hey, im gonna buy a 2012 86GT and i was wonding if you know any good sounding exhaust for New Zealand?

@@Froggy918 Hey there, my apologies for the delayed response. The last gen 2.0l sound really good with a tomei or borla exhaust system, I'm not sure which models you get down in new zealand but if you get either of those brands they're a great option!

Agreed. The Touring Edition does a great job at eliminating excess drone at lower RPMs, and if you really want the crazy loud sound it's super straightforward to convert it over to the Track Edition. 👌

It really was 😂

You can find all the links to my current setup in the description of this video!

Yeah, it's definitely been a minute! I put up a community post explaining what's going on, but the jist of it is that I'm a college student and the last chunk of time I've been absolutely swamped with classwork and exams, so I finally got around to uploading this now (even though it's been on the car for well over a month now 😅)

Much appreciated 🙏

That's the ambient light sensor for the automatic headlights. In most cars that have it it's mounted right in the middle of the dashboard, funny enough I only realized it was on the passenger side when I tried putting my front plate between the dashboard and the windshield on that side 😂

@@relatablerides thanks !

I will say the cold start is VERY loud for the first 20 seconds or so, then the engine kicks down the idle RPM and it's a reasonable noise level. Beyond that if you practice restraint on your right foot it'll be pretty quiet for around-town driving 👍.

Glad to hear you're enjoying it! I'm hoping toyobaru puts out a recall for the RTV issue soon, otherwise I might need to find a different car to take to the track 😂

No CVT, just Auto 6 speed with paddle shift or a 6 speed manual.

@@fidrat24 Warranty states its a cvt with 100k all labor and diagnosis implied

​@@iversonjcameron they don't have a CVT. It's either a manual or an automatic 6-speed. Either way, you have actual gears.

Happy to help 🫡

Check out the install vid! ruclips.net/video/SulTMTV5Ivk/видео.html

Just good practice. I always use the ebrake to park any car I drive just as an extra precaution to make sure it's not going anywhere. It's also a better way to stop the car from moving, as it stops the car from the wheels directly rather than the P gear stopping the car from the transmission end. Additionally, I haven't experienced this in any other car but in the GR86 when I don't pull the parking brake the transmission feels like it doesn't want to shift out of park the next time I drive it (It's stiffer than when I pull the ebrake). It's a minor thing, I'm sure it won't be the cause of any long term damage but it's a smoother experience for me to pull the ebrake when parking.

So you can rip hand brake slides with an auto.

@@fidrat24 That's what I'm talking about! 😎

It really is! I'm surprised a pipe that small could have such a big difference for the engine tone!

@relatablerides yeah definitely, love the Neptune blue as well 💙 👌 Have you considered getting a grimmspeed dry con drop in filter? Or not necessary?

Thank you, I love the color so much. Shame Toyota isn't making them in Neptune blue anymore. I'm actually already running an HKS high airflow filter, it was one of those mods that I put on without filming because it was so straightforward it didn't need its own video. With this generation of 86/BRZ the factory air intake has a carbon filter behind the drop in filter, so swapping out just the filter doesn't make any difference in the way of power or noise just because the carbon filter is the limiting factor. The cheap and easy solution is to just cut it out of the OEM box, or alternatively swap out the entire intake system for a full cold air intake w/ a cone filter.

To each their own, I can definitely appreciate the simplicity that comes with a black interior but I'd personally like a splash of color to mix things up a little 😁

I don't imagine it'll make a drastic impact on the stock suspension geometry or add any weird strain on places there shouldn't be. If anything you'll just end up with super clean fitment with the stock wheels. Dropping it about an inch will definitely clean up that top gap. If I wasn't daily driving this car on New Jersey roads I'd have already lowered it by now lol 😂. That would lock in really good looking fitment for sure. Yep, the GR86 Premium and BRZ limited share the same style 18" wheels, the only difference being the finish on the wheels. The GR86 has the matte black finish while the BRZ has a more grayish matte finish. Other than that the wheels are identical in terms of sizing and shape. Let me know if this helps!

@@relatablerides It does! Thank you!!

Yep, for the time being I'm gonna stick with stock suspension. This car is my daily, and let's just say the roads between my house and my uni aren't the best out there. Hopefully if I can manage to afford air suspension in the future that's the route I'm gonna go. Thanks for leaving a comment!
