Over the last month, the frequency of the iDrive system crashing has increased. It now happens on almost any drive longer than about 5 minutes. They system will go blank, and takes a minute or 2 to reboot. This happens in a wide variety of conditions, including when the parking/backup camera...

1980, ha! Show the seller the NADA book value for a 1980 Supra, and tell him you'll pay double.

On a related note, the OEM hood "vents" are the second official part I can find on the car saying they were manufactured by Toyota. Note the "J29" designator as well. I thought that was cool.

MIne came in today as well. 5 minutes to install. Look great. Recommended.

I've had about a half dozen previous iterations of this engine in prior BMWs (N54, N55, and a 2017 440i with the B58). The N54s needed about a quart every 4-6k miles, pretty routine. I occasionally had to add to the N55. Never got the add-oil message with the prior B58. At 3k miles and 4...

Another reason you're unlikely to see manual transmission in many models is the growth of active safety features. For example, pedestrian collision mitigation basically requires an automatic, as do many other features such as lane keeping. These features are highly regulated in most...

Have a dealer check it out.

Regarding switching to parking assist mode. There's a setting in iDrive to auto-recognize parking situations and turn this on. It's not 100%, it sometimes mistakes normal, low-speed driving to a parking situation. If this bothers you, it can be turned off in the settings.

Likely due to a port- or dealer-installed accessory of some sort. Some inane federal reg probably requires this.

The internal designator used by BMW, Toyota, and Magna Steyr is the J29. Specifically, J29 Spx 40i (for the 3.0) or J29 Spx 30i (for the 2.0).

I thought the Supra had a 155mph speed limiter?

There's one more setting worth doing. Enable daytime screen brightness control. Absolutely essential. Puzzling that this defect slipped through QA with Toyota.

Lack of HUD on the A91 was pretty much the singular reason I didn't go for that model. Color was gorgeous.

As soon as the 2022 is announced with the limited-edition cup holder or whatever, the 2021s will get a nice discount.

Code off ASD.

Lots and lots of folks here like to mod and upgrade powertrains. Just be aware, many of these mods (catless DPs, for example) do violate federal law which means the car is no longer street legal. As near as I can tell, most noone cares about this. It is a small risk, however. Depending on...

I used Gaffer's tape to cover the warning. Near-perfect match for the texture and color of the visor. Gaffer's tape available here.

AFAIK, you can't. Need to physically undo 2 clips and pull the ECU up a few inches. The date is on the label. Takes 10 seconds once you know what to do, no tools needed. Several videos around showing the procedure.
