So far it’s held up. This is the first summer with it. I’m in MA. I know we haven’t been as hot as you guys but have had plenty of 90+ deg days. I’ve only put the weight of the phone on it. Haven’t tried to yank it off or anything. So so far it’s been good.

Awe man that sucks. Other people have mentioned it comes and goes from stock. Hopefully it comes back if you want that one.

🤷‍♂️

It’s the same location but more extensive to get to the filter. I would recommend watching the video below for how to do it. Car care nut does fantastic videos. czcams.com/video/gjGLG6jg-Mk/video.htmlsi=sZ9rIUToIAesk2UQ

Thank you.

@@ewapoplawski8194 your welcome.

Yup pretty much sums it up.

Thank you. Maintenance goes a long way.

Yeah tell me about it. Good thing there is a filter. Does the wife clean her Rav: NOPE. Do the kids clean it: NOPE. Does the Dog clean back there and not shed a blanket worth of hair: NOPE. So stuck with this 💩 lol.

@@automatereviews 😂 🤣

Most of my driving is 30-60mph back roads at low elevations with little grades. Hop on the highway or mountains then it drops to that.

Sounds like a nice setup. Tailgate up not a deal breaker for me but I can just get away with it. Any longer kayak then I couldn’t do it.

Your welcome. Good luck with yours. So far I’ve had no issues.

😂

I haven’t removed the phone mount so I don’t know how it looks underneath. It’s still holding strong. I just applied to the area I was applying the adhesive to. I would imagine there probably is some discoloration if I had to guess.

Thank you!

That sucks man. Wondering if your startup amps when you start your vacuum is just too high and trips it out right away. 🤔

You are correct. Very easy to do. There is a link on this short that takes you to my full video on it.

WRONG!!! THE PLASTIC SCREW GETS STRIPPED AND NO LOCAL RETAILERS SELL THE FILTER

Awesome. Congrats. Great truck overall. Enjoy.

It's a big difference from the Silverado I used to own before it!~

@@RiddledEnigma93 hopefully in a good way.

V8 to V6 na, but the acoustics of the Taco are better then the Silverado was, the single 12 hits harder in the Taco then the Silver did with 2 12's!~

Vehicle was serviced regularly at Toyota with the provided 2 years and 24k free maintenance. And regular intervals afterwards. The only thing in the manual about this filter was to inspect if you idle or drive low speeds etc like police or taxi. I don’t so wanted to check it out either way. Glad I did.

Nice. I’ve had mine for a year and so far it’s been good. Good luck with yours.

Perfectly summed up!

So far it’s been good. Hasn’t come off and the magnet holds strong. Never had my phone fall off. I’m in New England so we have a variety of temp swings. Made it through the winter so far. We will see how it goes with hotter temps.

@@automatereviews thanks for the reply and the time you took to make the video!

Wasn’t much work at all. Pretty easy. I don’t mind a little project here and there. Although the older I get the less I like it. 😉

That's not a lot of effort More of an effort to get on the computer and order it or drive to the parts house to get it BTW, that screw, snaps in, no need for a screwdriver on the install

I disagree. Filter was cleaned per Toyota recomendation. Filter looked good and no signs of damage. This filter is designed to prevent large particles from entering the battery area, not trap them say like an air intake filter. Filter did its job and cleaned off good. Next interval we will see if it needs replacement.

@@automatereviews what would make it need replacement?

@@ky314 general condition such as any signs of rips, deformation, or if after cleaning can’t see any light through the filter (plugs). That would be my personal recommendation. But a new filter will always solve any of these if your concerned . I think because this filter is light duty, Toyota recommends cleaning it and replacing it only when needed.

I don’t mind the radar cruise control on the Taco. I think works pretty good overall. But this gen Tacoma is not a pleasant highway cruiser with the transmission tuning. Especially high winds and/or grades.

Oh man that sucks to hear. Mine was fixed under warranty and hasn’t broken again since. Make sure your dealer doesn’t try to screw you and make you pay. It’s happened to numerous 22 Tacomas.

what kind of roof racks do you have? I’m looking to get myself some

Kaishengyuan was the maker and I got it on Amazon. Link is in the description. At times they seem to go out of stock and come back.

Thank you. You don’t have to hit the power button to turn it on. It automatically starts recording when you start the vehicle. It does NOT record when the vehicle is off.

Yes it does. Either accessory on or engine on. If you don’t start the engine the outlet will drain your battery. Fumes are noticeable of course. Good for a quick use or to charge something else while driving.

Kind of does. lol.

Sucks that happened to yours. Hopefully the process with getting a new harness was smooth. Thanks for the tip. It’s a good idea to check everything to make sure it works prior to installing it on the windshield. Let us know how you make out. Good luck!

@@automatereviews yeah, the company literally sent me a new y harness within a day of me emailing them. Got it today and everything fired right up, great dash cam, I cannot understand why anyone would want any other dashcam. Seems to me that people forget what a dashcam's main purpose is, determining fault. Too many people are thinking you need to be able to watch your dashcam like a video platform.

@@donniev8181 awesome. Good to hear. The OEM look is my favorite part along with the great video quality. Longevity remains to be seen but so far so good. Good luck with yours.
