  1. 2021 Oil Consumption data collection

    Update: So the appointment was too late in the day to engage Toyota corporate. Tech told the service advisor that the oil level was high compared to other cars they’d seen (Just 25% above min, guess others are waiting until they get a warning). Asked if I had added any oil…I hadn’t. They are...
  2. 2021 Oil Consumption data collection

    Likely yes. Build Date 12/20 5200+ miles Note: oil level was 100% (Max) from purchase until roughly 4100 miles. Exactly one month, and 1100ish miles later, the level has dropped to 25% (just above Min). Considering the car carries 6.9 qts of oil that is a considerable drop. No warnings yet, but...
  3. Official Oil consumption thread: Car excessively burning oil?

    Thought I was doing alright, but over exactly an month and 1100 miles of driving (I’m over 5200 miles now total) my oil level rapidly dropped from 100% (at the max line) to 25%. No sign of burning or leaking oil. No unusual carbon deposits. Nothing. I’ve been checking about once a week after...
  4. July 24-25 CotA Track Day. Who's going?

    Sounds like a good time. I was booked to go but ultimately cancelled. The quotes for HPDE insurance were just too high for my taste, and I didn’t feel comfortable tracking my daily driver without at least that.
  5. Remote Starter

    Gave me false hope.
  6. Remote Starter

    Could be fake, but remote start on this Supra looks convincing enough. Perhaps the owner is member on this site?!?
  7. Painting the stock rims ?

    Tungsten, right? These pics may be the closest example I’ve seen yet to approximate how bronze might look with my Phantom. Was starting to lean toward satin black, but now I’m torn again.
  8. Painting the stock rims ?

    Do you know whether they used Prismatic Powders, or something else? I’ve been sitting on an extra set of factory wheels I bought off someone on here. Was considering a few different options, but I keep coming back to good old satin black. I may start shopping around town for someone to finally...
  9. B58 engine type.

    There is a nifty chart on Wikipedia that gives you the model codes. It would appear RHD 2019-2021 would fit into the DB42 model code, which is not the updated engine used in the US & Canada for 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Supra_(J29/DB)#Model_codes
  10. I’d like some help on finding a good radar detector

    https://www.vortexradar.com ^ I appreciate the reviews he does. The videos are informative. I went with the Escort Redline 360c, but boy is it expensive. I have to say though the GPS-driven false alert silencing (which is not by any means restricted to the Escort Redline I have) is the best...
  11. Uniden R7 installation

    I have an Escort Redline, but used the BlendMount with MirrorTap and am happy. Expected to take out a link, but it wasn’t necessary as others have pointed out. It’s a very secure and clean way to mount a detector in this car. I have other options, such as a suction cup mount, but I don’t like...
  12. Official Oil consumption thread: Car excessively burning oil?

    FWIW... Roughly 4400 miles now, and the oil level has finally budged from MAX. Now looking at only down about 1/4 to 1/5 (didn't measure, unsure of the exact scale) the way from MAX to MIN. I would say that's likely a fairly ordinary rate, considering the recommended interval for an oil change...
  13. Dealer Service Experiences

    I’ve only been over to my dealer to see if they’d upgrade the head unit firmware (they were unable in the end…another story), but I’m comfortable taking my car into them for service. I look at the fact that there are 4 or 5 of their employees with these cars (working in sales, finance, and...
  14. Fullscreen Apple Carplay

    Correct, March 2021 or later is what I was referring to.
  15. Fullscreen Apple Carplay

    If I had to guess, Toyota probably asked to have that ability held back because they aren’t prepared to provide tech support for this largely BMW-based system when things go sideways. But only Toyota really knows.
  16. Fullscreen Apple Carplay

    March 2021 and later builds, it would appear.
  17. Front Windshield Sun shade

    I bought the WeatherTech one when I ordered my floor mats. They’re aren’t half bad.
  18. Supra garage door opener

    Super strange. Mine is working conservatively 3 times the distance as my regular remotes, about the same as my wife’s Accord and my Acura MDX did. I’ve been really happy. Wonder if there is another variable at play in your situation.
  19. Fullscreen Apple Carplay

    I don’t think anyone really knows. My experience is that Toyota hasn’t acknowledged there even being an update. I suppose there hasn’t been a compelling reason, since this car was first shipped, for people to even care about getting an update so no telling how Toyota will deal with things like...
  20. Firmware upgrade for iDrive Toyota Supra MKV

    Did you use Bootcamp or VM for Windows? Curious if I can just do this with a Windows VM.
