    Backup Camera

    Do you have the touch screen interface? If so should be plug and play. I have looked into this myself (not through the dealer) and all I need is camera and adapter harness for my touch screen. Camera can be had for $20 from ebay but the harness is close to $100 and above. Is it worth it? That my...

    Lumps in the heated seats

    No lemon laws that I am aware of in Canada. At least none here in BC. As adv compare with other cars. Feel your seat to pin point where the lump is. Feel other seats on the showroom floor and if it does not feel the same ask them to explain it. It should not be lumpy.

    antennae

    There is nowhere to install it. the antenna is the hump on the rear of the roof. I suppose you could drill a hole in the fender or rear quarter panel and then you would have to figure out have to connect to the radio. Or maybe there is a way to have a shark fin antenna in the existing spot.

    locking the doors when car is running

    I have 2013 with same keyless entry. I don't think there is a way to defeat it. The only thing I can think of is having a remote start professionally installed that way you can turn car off, lock and then hit the start button.

    When is it "OK" to turn on Sport Mode

    Sport mode can last as long as you want. all is does is re-map the "sensitivity" of the accelerator and increase RPM's so you have the feeling of fast. It is NOT a Nitrous boost that you have to turn off after a few seconds. I believe (as with most other cars) when the car is turned off it...

    Anyone ever find directions to program a new key

    I had a GM vehicle many moons ago. It only had one key that was sold with the vehicle. I am the only one that drive's so I did not care until the fob broke apart. I bought one off ebay for cheap (made sure serial number matched) and I HAD to take it to the dealer to program. I DID NOT COST me...

    Ideas to safely secure seat belt to inverted bracket on Salvage

    Maybe it is right, I would question who did the repair. Cutting and welding sections is not a good thing, even if it "looks" good. Compromises integrity. I once saw a show from England and a lady bought a convertible mid 90's Ford. She complained the top did not close right and other things...

    2009 passenger mirror

    09 to 13 should work on your car, plug and play. Would have to disassemble Johnny 5 to find out but I think you should be able to replace the cover.

    Ideas to safely secure seat belt to inverted bracket on Salvage

    Can't really tell by the pic. How was it fixed? What side was hit? If it can't be turn "over" then it would seem to me it was fixed with the bracket from the other side of the donor vehicle. Have you look at the good side to see what it should be? They may have even used a bracket from a...

    Automatic headlight shutoff

    If you do not have auto headlights and you leave your headlights on they will not turn off. My Rolla is a Canadian model and it has auto headlights and they do turn off, however If I choose to turn the switch on and leave it in that position then they would not turn off when I lock the doors.

    2016 Carolla L

    My car is one package short of navigation (no option for back up cam). All I have to do is install a camera and I can get a adapter harness that plugs in the back of the head unit and I would have the video feed. If I can do it I imagine it is probably the same for your 2016.

    wiper blades

    I changed my wiper blades yesterday. My question is, no mater what car you have why is it the replacement wiper blades sweep area is always smaller then the OEM and the right bottom corner never seems to sit right with replacement blades? It's not like the manufacturers have special blades made...

    Coin Storage?

    I don't keep change in my car, the noise would drive me mad. I especially don't put change in the cup holder, one less thing for someone to bust my window out. You know what storage you have in your car so why not try the various cubbies and find what works for you.

    Moonroof Visor - yay or nay

    Up to you but personally I would not get it for a few reasons, hard to get the surface under the deflector clear and I worry it would cause the roof to rust prematurely.
