I had to laugh when I saw this article about PHEVs and the positives and negatives of this design and use of technology. I felt like someone read my mind on questions. https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a60731731/plug-in-hybrid-explainer/ I was surprised at how many PHEVs are actually out...

I bought a ‘23 loaded JTRD. Had it all except trail cam and body color roof for $60k. The dealer also threw in the parts so I could install the trail cam and installed insulated headliner installation. Oh yeah, I guess mine was missing the trail rail stuff and bedliner so they threw in that...

I was reading a recent article in Car and Driver talking about EV batteries. They discuss how you shouldn’t fully charge it to 100% or discharge below 10% which immediately affects range. Then they talk about the 6% battery depletion in the first year (after that it flattens out to much less...

to be honest I was very disappointed when they announced this model just 2 months after I bought my ‘23 JTRD. But I’m so confused, after the FarOuts being advertised as the fully loaded send-off of the diesel, I have yet to see one even close to fully loaded. Most don’t have Aux switches, none...

thanks for the reply and website…honestly I forgot about several of them. It does seem like almost all of them are niche vehicles to some extent or other but still an interesting list with Jeep having the most loyal/largest of those niches. Before that list I had forgotten about the MB C63...

Can you please list the other PHEVs it is being levied against? I honestly can’t think of any outside Stellantis products which is like comparing it to itself. I’m sure there are a few though but I think we would all be surprised how few.

Not sure what I’m looking at in that thread, would you mind helping me? I’ve installed the front trail cam and the CVPM under the center console like in the JL. My very last part of the project is to install the power into the #2 pin in the xy401a. I have the pin I just need to access the...

Yeah, I saw that one a while ago but they dont have a good still shot of of behind the airbag. Just wondering if that is the way to access the Xy401A. I prefer not to go that route if it doesnt make it possible to get to it. I removed the front top dash speaker and it appears there is a...

Fascinating, the way I read it, it needed 4 of their cameras installed to make the 360 work. I love this community, you all have so much unique info, perspectives, and technical knowledge.

Does anyone have a picture of what it looks like when the red dash is removed in the passenger side above the glove compartment?

Thanks for your responses, sounds like it’s not truly possible within AOBD. I didn’t even know that CaRobotor existed. Cool products…it’s a shame they don’t integrate with the cameras already in the vehicle. Fascinating the inclusion of the gauge cluster. Not sure why anyone would want to spend...

Totally agree the front trail cam was not originally designed as a park assist. Some vehicles that have these split screens include: My 2015 MB GL350, Porsche, Toyota and Lexus. Admittedly some of those also have a surround view park camera system but it’s been around for a decade now and on...

I’m not going to say it’s easy, depends what you have from the factory but don’t expect any of the harnesses to be correct and you will most likely have to make your own. I can’t believe how stupid these Jeeps are wired. Any good company would have 4 different combos of wiring harness (2 for gas...

I think you’re referring to the CANBUS connector. Yes that would also be impossible to get at that module from there. A pic would definitely help, thanks.

Is there a way to have both the front and rear trail cam videos show at the same time in a split-screen on the head unit? Does anyone know if this is possible somewhere hidden within the AOBD programming? Most other vehicles that have both cameras have this available as a setting within the head...

“Star connector”? Not sure what that is. I Can see the edge of the module and the first of the three connectors going into the module after removing the 2 screws and small shelf(?) behind the passenger side rear seat (where the optional Bluetooth speaker would be). Is there another way to access...

Wow, that location sucks, right next to the factory CVPM but thanks for figuring it out. I’ve been avoiding taking that panel off but it looks like the ONLY way to add front park sense to a vehicle that already has the rear park sense is to get to those connectors.

Subscribing to this thread. @rhill2901 I saw your write up on the JL forum. Do you happen to know where module is located for those that have the front park sense overseas in our JTs? Is that module also behind the back panel behind the rear seat? My JT has the Rear Park Sense AND Lane Change...

So you’re saying the Tacomas are plug-in hybrids? That’s news to me. They are hybrids but not PHEV or like the Prius which uses its energy/battery for gas mileage. Instead, Toyota has downsized their archaic V6 to turbo4. That is where they are trying to gain efficiency. Then to supplement the...

Yeah, my bad… I was only talking about truck hybrids not Prius as I thought this was a Jeep Gladiator forum. Specifically Toyota TRUCK hybrids are using this combined platform to 1. Downsize engine and 2. To offset the problems of downsizing said engine with a battery to help performance. They...
