[Matthewstorm]

How long does it take for rhe internal power to shut off? Trying to power RD from mirror but nothing is shutting off.

If you're talking about accessory power, it's like 5-7 minutes. Just lock the car and walk away, you'll be good.

7 minutes after the door is closed, with no re-opening the door.

Mine definitely does. How far away from the car is your key?

About 10 feet today. But before, after I did the mirror tap, I accendentally left the detector plugged in and came out the next day and it was still on. My installer said there's only a switched fuse in the trunk, no where else. He had to run a powered line from the trunk to the detector.

If you have your initial email from Toyota it tells you to LOCK your car, otherwise power will never shut off, including the wireless charging tray.

Right. The car was not locked. I jumped out, left the car running and ran inside the house. When I came back out 15 seconds later the car was off. Not idle. Off.

What email from Toyota?

This from the welcome brochure that came in the mail.

Ah. Only had the car a few days so haven't got it yet. What's Battery Guard?

Supra Connect for all 2020-2022 premium and special editions is supposed to include a 4-year trial for Battery Guard . See note 33 on page 17:

Nothing related to that appears on the connect app or website. No idea if it is something Toyota needs to activate separately.

Good to know. Thanks!

It was never available for my 2020 Premium. C’est la vie.

You can either get out of the car and lock it or press and hold the radio power button to do the full shut off before you get out of the car.

Or change the settings to automatically power down when you open the door to get out. You know, like every single other car I've ever owned over the last 40 plus years. I've said this in a previous thread. Defaulting to the power remaining on for like 6 minutes AFTER I've turned the car off and left is one of the dumbest things ever. Sure, locking the doors will shut it down. However, I leave the car unlocked, keys inside while parked in my closed and locked garage. What purpose does draining the battery for 6 or 7 minutes every evening serve?

I've also previously asked if anyone can come up with a scenario where power staying active AFTER I shut the car off, get out, and close the door is useful. No one was able to come up with anything. I put this "feature" right up there with our Toyota Venza remote start that shuts the engine off when you open the door to get it. I classify both as WTF were they thinking situations.
