ScanGauge is in place and working. The right side panels have captive screws and the left has screws with centering noses (not captive). For some reason, the right side, left captive screw is a pain to align with its mating hole. There is a right panel slot that allows you to exit from inside the center console rear.
The display turns off about 20-30 seconds after the car is shut down.
Note the intake air and coolant temps - higher than I like to see.

2024 GR Supra, 45th Anniversary, Mikan Blast
It looks like this is not a preferred color, since dealerships seem to have them without buyers (not pending). The whites look like they are being taken before or shortly after delivery.
Yeah, I've seen one. It's in my enclosed trailer. :cool: I hope to find time tomorrow to move it to the garage.

White to me is just boring. My Ram 3500 4x4 diesel dually is white, my wife's old Durango is white. meh. One of the reasons that I bought a Supra is because I don't want to see three cars just like mine at a stoplight. No kidding, the other day I was leaving work and seven vettes came through the intersection, all at the same time, no thanks. The odds of me pulling up next to another Supra is slim. The odds of that Supra being orange is almost none existent.

Excellent choice - congrats on your purchase!
I have two recommendations:
1. Consider getting at least the front half of your car PPFed. I had my car done within a couple of weeks after buying it.
2. Periodically keep an eye on your car's differential for leaks. My car is at the dealership while the proper tools and axle seal are on order. I noticed my leak after about 700 miles. The diff fluid looks like water, but once you touch it, you'll know it's diff fluid (oily).

I've never seen this badge before, as I was sure it said "limited to 900 units"...but I need confirmation now. @CafeRacerQueen what does yours say?

Without the number it's literally like "limited to what, as many as they could sell?" ?

It’s a Canadian edition, we only have 45 units available in Canada as per Toyota Canada press release. They call the color “Plasma Orange“ but I’m pretty sure it’s the same as ”Mikan“

Colour names are different around the world: Nitro, Silverstone and Lightning are all the same yellow. And I'm sure there is an actual BMW name for it too which I do not know.

I thought it was Atacama Yellow

but it could be Speed Yellow, or Mandarin Yellow, etc?

I have the same one. Hopefully, that's not what I was charged $135 for as an "added option".

Like some of you, I had watched 45th anniversary Supra review (no driving) videos on youtube, a while back. A couple of things on the Mikan Blast cars in the videos that were different on my Supra were the sideview mirrors (My mirrors have the carbon fiber look, whereas the video cars had flat black mirrors)

The other difference is the Supra badge on the back. The video Supra's had black or blue letters, whereas my badge letters are red. They don't have the same contrast on an orange car.

I wonder if there was a change, just before the US-bound Supras were shipped.
I finally found out what the "Exterior Emblem" (see photo, below) was. It was the red "Supra" letters in the back. The dealership folks had assumed (as I did) that emblem was a mistake, but apparently, It was swapped in when the other options were added. Someone thought this was a good idea.

They had agreed to swap out the red for black, (done three weeks ago)but told me that I could not keep the red emblem. I replied just a short while ago to the person who discovered this that they should've given me the red emblem for which I had paid $139. Somehow, I don't think that will happen.......
