Yeah the dealer followed the manual:
Swapped rear antenna which was reported as faulty. Nada.
Swapped body ECU. Nada.
Took apart interior and swapped antenna. Nada.
While re-assembling the car a technician noticed the wire of the connector to the antenna in the rear was loose. He recrimped and...
Actually it seems there is an automatic mode, but the dealer has to program it in, then the car knows the tyres corresponding to a set of sensors.
Either way - as you say, I decided to just use the manual and re-learn method (as I have not figure out a real advantage from the automatic mode).
As someone that works at a top 3 automotive supplier (not BOSCH, but the Japanese one) all I can say is... People refer to the same thing in different ways (often incorrectly) but so long as we understand each other who cares?
I'm still hoping this thread helps me figure out what to do.
(BEng...
I did actually...
I will say this... 1 week ago I washed the car at a car wash, and the thing worked for 2hrs before sleeping.
Been a week again not working.
After you did this once to teach the car that this second set are the winter wheels, are you able to change the menu to "automatic"?
Basically I ordered aftermarket and wheels, because I wanted winter rubber that had a 270km/h speed rating.
(Germany can get complicated if you have wrong tyre...
Thanks. I tried everything so I even removed every keychain and electrical device.
I even when out to the fields where there are no houses and interference.
So yeah definitely something with the car.
That pic is not the car key antenna, there are dedicated car key antennas
Does it sound normal from inside?
I mean, it is a GDI engine so it good be the injector tick. It is hard to judge from mobile phone audio recordings...
Might record mine for comparisons.
Oh believe me, I've tried that too.
Before the first battery reset (the one that made it work again), if I tried starting the engine WHILE holding they keyfob there, the engine would start, but I would get a warning message that the key is being detected in the passenger side or something, and...
I am wondering if anyone had similar issues.
For the first 2 months, about 10% of the times, keyless entry did not work. I figured that's fine.
But one day while washing the car, due to the water and they key being in my pocket it was locking and unlocking a couple of times.
Kept using the car...
Update. I spoke to my dealer in Germany to tell him that they need to navigate the navigation and showed him the variables that need to be turned on for screen mirroring.
He checked internally and emailed me the next day to say that they didn't know about the need to activate these things but...
I can detect the wi-fi from the supra, but I cannot use the screen mirror from my phone. In the media menu I do not have the mirroring option near the usb option.
I wonder if it is linked to the fact the navigation hasn't been activated either.
My car finally arrived at the dealer. Just 3 more days for the reg and I can drive it home.
