    Bluetooth Cuts Google Maps Sound

    I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to describe. In Google Maps > Settings > Navigation Settings there is a check box for "Play voice over Bluetooth" In Android there is Settings > Bluetooth > a gear icon next to your car > check boxes for the different things you can transmit via...

    FUN AUDIO FACT Bluetooth sucks :D

    Bluetooth sounds better than AUX in my car. Stock unit and stock speakers.

    Driving with parking brake :(

    I'm not a mechanic or anything, but it sounds like you might be okay and the smell was probably coming from somewhere else. Do you still smell the burning rubber when you operate you car or use the brakes? http://www.cartalk.com/content/today-consequences-driving-emergency-brake Also, read up...

    Coin Storage?

    That's silly, and not everyone is the same as you. I'm not turning my car into a piggy bank, I'm holding on the the coins from one transaction to use in the next transaction. If I were to throw the coins away after each transaction as it seems like you implied that you do, then over the course...

    Coin Storage?

    Because it adds up to dollars, and dollars add up to tens of dollars, and tens of dollars add up to hundreds of dollars... I use the little storage area in front of the gear shifter to store my change. (Tried using the top part of the center console, but now I just use that for receipts and...

    2015 Corolla - OTD price

    I live in a city with a lot of Toyota dealerships. Set up a new e-mail account that you use just for contacting dealerships (so you don't have to deal with spam in your main e-mail account). Use their online forms or contact information for their Internet/fleet sales to get a quote. Only one...

    Ac cooling issue

    Okay, with cooling level on "LO" (the lowest setting), fan on max, and recirc on... Yesterday 82 outside temp: It took about 25 seconds for warm air to be replaced by cold air. Today 93 outside temp: It took about 25 seconds for warm air to be replaced by cold air. After maybe about 1 minute...

    Ac cooling issue

    Okay, I'm curious and maybe I'm recalling my own car's time wrong. Right now it's raining, but tomorrow during the day when it's warm, I'll time my AC and post back here.

    Ac cooling issue

    I'm by no means an air conditioning expert, but it shouldn't take very long for the expansion valve to initially let the gas through, until the compresses it and the condenser turns it into a liquid. Since car AC systems are small, this should happen pretty fast. Now the AC may be blowing cold...

    Ac cooling issue

    3-5 MINUTES? I'm in Texas, and that's a long time. Granted it's only the beginning of summer, but it doesn't take long on my 2015 LE. More like 20 to 30 seconds. It shouldn't take long to clear the vents, and it shouldn't take long for the refrigerant to make its loop in the Refrigeration...

    Dash Cam Installed Finally!

    I just finished concealing the wiring. I removed the trim on the left side of the driver's foot well to hide the excess wires (coiled up and zip-tied in place) and the Power Magic Pro. I mounted the Power Magic Pro to the car frame with double-sided tape and have wires going into the fuse box...

    Inline Resistors - JDM Astar - LED Turn Signals

    I don't exactly understand the problem that these are supposed to fix. What is "hyper flashing" etc?

    Winter Mats, Weather Tech or Husky Liners?

    I bought the Husky front, back, and trunk liners a few days ago because they were less expensive. I wasn't planning on ever removing them though once installed (except for cleaning I guess).

    Dash Cam Installed Finally!

    The first Blackvue 650 I got had a defective rear camera. I just got the replacement, and it works. The only problem is, when it's powered on, the rear camera and/or coaxial cable going to the rear camera causes interference with the radio antenna in the rear glass on a low-spectrum AM...

    Seat covers

    I'm looking for custom. Do you have any suggestions?

    Seat covers

    I just bought a 2015 LE with silver exterior and ash interior. I'm about to start searching for seat covers and floor mats that will take some dirt during my summer trip. I'll post back if I find anything good in the next several days.

    2015 Corolla S-Debadged Today - Thoughts?

    Thankfully my car didn't come with any dealership logos (except license plate frame which I'll change)... But how does one go about removing the "Corolla" and "LE" badges off the back (Are they glued, what kind of solvent did you use)? Other than for a clean look, any other benefits from doing so?
