    exhaust system

    The TRD is nice. Not only is the tip polished, the muffler is as well. Really stands out when you look at the right side of the car and can see the polished muffler behind the rear tire.

    Thoughts on the Blue Crush Metallic Color

    The '14 S+ 6MT didn't have blue crush (the '15 does now ... for '14 you could only get it with an S Premium). If it was available in '14, I would have gotten that color. But I'm happy with the Super White. I wanted Silver but it seems like dealers in SoCal only kept white or black S+ 6MT...

    A classic comparison. But who really wins? Friday feud!

    You couldn't pay me to drive a GM POS. Except a Corvette Z06 Stingray with a 7-speed ... that's about it.

    dash lights 2015 corolla s plus

    They aren't glow in the dark or turned on in just dark areas. They're lit by LED and always on the second the vehicle is on, no matter what position the headlight stalk is at. It's because the S has the multi-information display and it requires being lit in order to be visible (like the screen...

    Front passenger seat sits TOO low

    There is an airbag that is literally under that seat that deploys in a crash (and assists with keeping that passenger from sliding forward in the seat in an impact). Using a cushion will affect deployment, and most likely in a manner that adversely affects how it performs.

    LED Turn Signal Mirrors

    I had them hot to where I could barely touch them and they still didn't want to come apart.

    LED Turn Signal Mirrors

    Old thread, but I just tried taking mine apart with a heatgun and it is a no go. The plastic is mold injected into the lens. Looks on the TIS website again and all it shows is replacing the entire assembly. The front and rear signals are like any other bulb, but the mirror signals are a fully...

    Marisa Body Kit *Confirmed Real*

    I need the LED mirror signals. I tried to use a heatgun on the stock assemblies and it is impossible. They mold-injected the plastic into the lens. No way they're coming apart.

    Driving uphill

    Yes. D is just that, drive. The PCM manages the rest. Downshifts always happen going up a steep hill, otherwise you'd lose speed and lug the engine.

    trouble with GPS

    Yes, I have Entune Premium.

    question about leds in the map light with sunroof controls

    For the license plate lights, you don't have to pop the assembly out. Just twist left with the housing in the car. That's what I did. I finished all of my LED bulbs except for the mirrors and the high beams. For the mirrors I have to heat the assembly in an oven to get to the bulb. They sealed...

    LED Turn Signals, TRD Exhaust, TRD Rear Sway Bar

    I paid $550 including tax. You can probably find a better deal online but my dealership does next day and doesn't charge extra for shipping, so I got it through them. I did the install myself. It's pretty straightforward.

    trouble with GPS

    I have the same problem. The option isn't programmed properly and apparently, Toyota hasn't done a good enough job of contacting Fujitsu to get it resolved. It's not a defective unit, just sloppy, lazy programming. You would think that the feature is something that would have been tested but...

    Audio/Entune Problem: Horrible Audio on 2015 Corolla

    My Samsung Galaxy S6 does the same thing (I can't recall what they call it exactly) and I had to disable that as well.

    Audio/Entune Problem: Horrible Audio on 2015 Corolla

    I never noticed it and the audio quality seems fine to me (granted I tweaked the settings away from the stock settings). First things first, was the stereo played through CD or Bluetooth from your phone? Some phones (*cough* HTC *cough*) used Beats audio and I disabled it because it sounded...

    Ac cooling issue

    Doesn't surprise me. 3 to 5 minutes is too long. Even on a 100° day it doesn't take more than a minute before the air coming from the vents cools off (would be nice if Toyota bumped the delay up for the fan when in Auto so that it stays at speed 1, then ups the speed after 30 seconds)...

    Rattle Noise in the Drivers Door

    I get rattles when it is cold out but they go away once the cabin warms up. The only thing I could suggest is to try another dealership and get their opinion. You may have better luck finding it yourself but it's under warranty, so it should be their headache, not yours.

    2015 Corolla - Towing a Small Trailer

    Another thing, if the transmission is toasted in warranty (whether you towed or not) and the dealership sees a hitch on the car, warranty denied, thanks for playing.

    question about leds in the map light with sunroof controls

    The correct way is to use a panel removal tool to pull the entire assembly down, then remove the light assembly from the switch housing, then remove the lens. However, there is a shortcut that I used that works if you are careful. 1. Get two small flathead screwdrivers and wrap the blades...

    Bluetooth Profiles/Compression for Audio on Stock Headunit

    When you use USB, you're limited to the format the stereo can handle (MP3 max 320 kbps, WMA and MP4 are the same I believe). When you use Bluetooth, you're phone is simply sending the audio data to the receiver (the phone treats it like a bluetooth headset), so you can play any file that your...
