  1. Lost AM and USB options, throttle lag gone though after ECU upgrade

    I wonder if the USB and AM options are simply being hidden by default and can simply be restored by using the options? I used that to remove satellite radio from my list because I don't want it - but if I lost USB and AM entirely, I'd be back at the dealership that day... that's 95% of my use.
  2. GR Supra resale values: Is the Supra gonna depreciate like the germans? / Expected Depreciation

    Yeah but when was that written? I remember when it wasn't going to be a problem to get a new GPU because they were going to make plenty of them too - or for that matter when toilet paper wasn't a rare commodity. :rolleyes:
  3. What did you do to your Supra today?

    Glad I'm not the only one... for a minute there I thought either they were having a stroke or I was. ? Although after some of the Biden addresses lately... I'm getting better at understanding stream of consciousness word salads.
  4. Civic Type R Review - Would you go back to fwd?

    The primary advantages of a FF platform car are economy and simplicity IMO. I'd be totally fine with one as a grocery-getter or disposable commuter vehicle. However paying close to $40K for one that not longer gets fantastic gas mileage and is constantly fighting for traction even in optimal...
  5. Paul walker edition A90

    I wish people would quit rewarding companies for "collectable cuz we said so" campaigns... but since that won't ever happen, I'm guessing they'll be having a lottery so the 30 or so people that will line up can fight over it. I'm a bit surprised to see Tom's engaged in this shameless...
  6. Civic Type R Review - Would you go back to fwd?

    No. No, I would not... doesn't mean the Type-R isn't a great car... but I was already 20 once. ;)
  7. Coolant Bleeder Screw

    I think that the biggest issue will be that 90% of the failures will be at the worst possible time... when you actually needed to remove it and it simply disintegrates in the bung. Not sure how often that occurs and what factors are relevant - but I know here in the desert, anything plastic...
  8. Lost AM and USB options, throttle lag gone though after ECU upgrade

    The diversity of results from this update fills me with doubt. It makes sense considering it's a full update of everything... but my faith in all those changes being beneficial is lacking to say the least. Not that I wouldn't be more than happy to have far less throttle lag... I'd love that.
  9. Lotus Emira

    You mean at the link 6,5 and 3 posts above yours? ;)
  10. GR Supra resale values: Is the Supra gonna depreciate like the germans? / Expected Depreciation

    If that... lots and lots of new tighter regulations are likely to be passed this year (and in the coming 2 as well). Naturally they won't take effect immediately, but if they're stiff enough and expensive enough to tool for - it's entirely possible that manufacturer resources will get diverted...
  11. GR Supra resale values: Is the Supra gonna depreciate like the germans? / Expected Depreciation

    LOL... well, that's where the "ish" comes in (and maybe "nice" is a bit overstated). Still, at our favorite sushi spot, my wife and I would get about 8 dishes and pay around $60 (including tip) - now we drop over $100 on the same thing at the same place. :confused: Same... and that's if things...
  12. Audio Build Journal | HELIX | FOCAL | SoundShield

    Oh I've definitely been there before... and have an office, a couple closets, and most of my garage full of the less than optimal attempts at "budget friendly solutions". Now I'm more inclined to either wait a bit, or just go full beans - like you're doing on this install. :thumbsup:
  13. GR Supra resale values: Is the Supra gonna depreciate like the germans? / Expected Depreciation

    If you hold on to it long enough... then just about any clean, performance-oriented ICE vehicle is likely to appreciate. Add in the fact that we're printing dollars faster than shipping toilet paper apparently... and it's nearly guaranteed. Naturally it will still lose actual value for a very...
  14. What Parts do we want developed for Supra??

    Sadly the media isn't the issue there. The headunit handles decoding of numerous lossless formats including WAV so you can easily put ~25 CDs worth on the internal storage and 100's on a thumb drive at full 16/44.1k resolution. If you listen through the factory setup however... it will still...
  15. Audio Build Journal | HELIX | FOCAL | SoundShield

    Yeah, it's like a luxury loft apartment with glass walls... nice place to live - unless you're a home theater enthusiast, then it's a living hell. ;)
  16. Audio Build Journal | HELIX | FOCAL | SoundShield

    LOL... I've had some projects that had this level of cost-creep - but never car audio. Should sound about as perfect as is possible with this chassis when you're done! Of course, it damn well should considering all the coin you're throwing at the problem. ?
  17. Active Sound Design fuse?

    If you haven't already, I would recommend grabbing the PDF guide in this thread. That's what I used for almost everything I coded. I used an iPad for mine, so I didn't have to mess with airplane mode - but I did find that it helped to have it 100% charged and I held it fairly close to the OBD...
  18. Active Sound Design fuse?

    Yes. Or it will automatically be put back by a full update flash (like the current recall will perform). Unless you really dig deep into options that aren't applicable to the Supra... it's all just turning things on or off that are already present in the ECU/iDrive anyway.
  19. ECU Bricked during Recall Update…

    It would be interesting to note whether the majority of the bricked ECUs are happening on MY21's or just a random distribution amongst all. Could be yet another reason to be happy about missing out on all that "free" HP by getting a MY20?
  20. Active Sound Design fuse?

    You won't regret it... there's at least 5 options that (IMO naturally) are worth $30 each. It's like buy 1 get 4 free in that sense. Auto-stop setting memory Disable ASD Fix camera brightness. Add Sport+ modes Start in Sport Custom Depending on update level #3 might not be necessary... but it...
