  1. Does the Supra have WiFi?

    I have it hardwired to the accessory fuse as per instructions you can find in this thread: https://www.supramkv.com/threads/blackvue-dr900s-2ch-install-diy.4921/ Accessory power lasts about five or six minutes after you close all doors so the camera would then shut off and power back on as...
  2. Does the Supra have WiFi?

    Do you mean as a hotspot? I don’t think so. The Supra has WiFi, but as far as I know only to communicate with an iPhone for CarPlay purposes. I have a Thinkware U1000, which can use a WiFi device or hotspot to upload data to the cloud, but it doesn’t detect the Supra and the car doesn’t detect...
  3. Supra Connect Subscription length

    This is from Toyota’s official GR Supra brochure: “Includes a 4-year trial period, except Enhanced Roadside Assistance, which is a 2-year period. Enrollment in a paid subscription required upon expiration of trial period. Services are dependent upon an operative telematics device, a cellular...
  4. Fuel Recommended by BMW

    From the US Supra Owner’s Manual, pages 295-297: Gasoline General information For the best fuel efficiency, the gasoline should be sulfur-free or very low in sulfur content. Fuels that are marked on the gas pump as containing metal must not be used. Fuels with a maximum ethanol content of 25...
  5. Make the Supra quieter on highways

    I did a test today, using the Apple Watch as @michaeljeff suggested. Driving on a Southern California freeway, at 70mph, noise fluctuated around 66-68dBA most of the time. On a few rough patches it peaked at 75dBA and on smoother patches it dropped to 65dBA. As I mentioned previously, I do have...
  6. Make the Supra quieter on highways

    A couple of other factors to consider: road surface and speed. I didn’t expect the Supra to be a quiet and comfortable car, yet I find it overall quieter and more comfortable than other sports cars I’ve owned. Cruising at 70 mph on smooth asphalt is pretty quiet, but on pavement it is a bit...
  7. Ground Clearance

    My driveway is only slightly inclined, but the street has a small rain-run-off gutter, so a straight approach will cause the front to dip enough for the corner-strips (see bottom photo by @Andrew4Supra) to scrape the driveway, as @Benjilis pointed out. I go in and out at an angle, slowly, so...
  8. Replace Battery notification?!?

    I wonder if battery just needs to be registered? BimmerLink can do that.
  9. Anti-theft and car alarm sensitivity?

    Indeed, no proximity sensor. But you can try a simple test and see what you think. Roll a window down, lock the car, and stick an arm through the open window. Be sure to have your key ready to unlock the car.
  10. Wind Noise & Buffeting Fixes

    I got to test the YSWY edge guards on the highway over the weekend. Up to 80mph, I got no buffeting with both windows down. With driver’s window down I got minor buffeting over 70mph, and with passenger window down I got a bit more buffeting over 60mp. I’ll have to retest passenger window next...
  11. Wind Noise & Buffeting Fixes

    I got these because the design is much more appealing that the Hypersonic: https://www.amazon.com/Stickers-Protector-Defender-Collision-Anti-rub/dp/B08FZCXFNV/ref=pd_ybh_a_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PNSMJMATFFEEW6NDYZMF In the photo they look mat, but they are glossy and match the car very...
  12. Supra Floor Mats

    You can get those 3D MAXpider Supra custom mats on Amazon. I got mine on a day the price was reduced to $83.83.
  13. Car alarm goes off with OBDLink CX plugged in...

    I think this has to do with the CX not having a sleep mode, whereas the MX+ does. This is from the product description on Amazon: “When you turn off your engine, OBDLink MX+ goes to sleep and won't drain your automobile's battery. Its sophisticated triggers will wake up MX+ when you connect via...
  14. Tint or No Tint

    I don't intend to keep my Supra, or any car, that long.
  15. Tint or No Tint

    That has not been my experience with any of my cars. The longest I had was 14 years and when I sold the car, the 3M film was as pristine as when it was first installed.
  16. California Tinting laws

    Tint darkness for sedans: Windshield: Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 4 inches of the windshield. Front Side windows: Aftermarket film must allow more than 88% of light in, or minimum 70% VLT if combined with factory-tinted windows. Back Side windows: Any darkness can be used. Rear...
  17. Possible paint issue? Red supra

    Just to dispel any notion that all red Supras might have paint issues, I want to indicate mine doesn't. The paint on my 2020 Premium (6/19 build) is flawless all throughout. My car doesn't suffer of any other exterior, interior, electrical, or mechanical issues that have been reported in the...
  18. Toyota OEM PPF kit. Anybody have it?

    Mine came with it. I would have passed on it if I had had the choice. It was a small piece on the hood, maybe about 14"; too small to be of much benefit considering the curvature of the hood. The edges were about 1/4" (maybe a little more) from the edges of the hood. When I had it replaced, my...
  19. 2020 Supra (A90) Reviews Compilation!

    At one of the dealers I visited before I bought mine, I had the resident Supra specialist walk me through the car and he gave me a fairly detailed explanation of the testing Toyota did and the retooling of engine parts they had BWM do to make the engine much more reliable. Toyota also did their...
  20. Carplay has disappeared

    Kudos to you for knowing exactly what happened.
