Great Video, thanks for doing this as I absolutely hate reading manuals unless I need to look something up. Very informative and easy to follow. This will save new tacoma owners like me a ton of time and make for a good refresher/ reference video. Thanks Again A+++
This was one of the BEST tutorials I have ever watched ! I wish I would have watched it two years ago when my Tacoma was new but now its going to be like getting a new truck because of all of the new things I never took the time to learn !
Thank so much I love your video I’m just got once 2023 tacoma I’m would like to ask you Tacoma make home link for garage opener! I’m appreciated your help Thanks
Hi Brian! Just bought my new Tacoma a couple of days ago, my question is there away to map the bluetooth button to the home screen? So I'm not jumping through like 3 menus lol
Cruise stalk - pull it toward you to cancel without losing your set speed (like the on/off switch will), and without having to depress the brake pedal.
Great video. I didn't know the door key came out of the fob (or else I just forgot it . . . lol). One other thing on the key fob. You can turn off the fob transmitting by pressing and holding the door lock button then press the unlock button 2x's while continuing to hold the lock button. The red LED will then blink twice. Now your key fob will save battery and also not be able to be scanned and copied by high tech criminals. Press any button and it begins transmitting again (don't forget to enable it again when you go to enter the locked vehicle). Again, great video and thanks for making it.
I'm not sure if the Tacoma does this, but in my Sequoia, if you put it in reverse, you can adjust the mirrors so they point where you want them to point in reverse. After that, they will return to that position every time you put it in reverse. Note that in order for this to work, it is necessary to leave the mirror adjustment knob set to either L or R so the truck can move the mirrors. If anyone tries this, I would be curious to know if it works for you.
Hi Brian, really liked your video, but have a question if you could help me with. I want to add an app to my radio that I somehow removed it. How can I add it back on my radio, its a 22 tacoma off road. thanks in advance.
Hi, thanks for the detailed video, One question please, can you view previous text messages, are they stored? I accidentally deleted one off my phone yesterday, would the Gracenote have a stored record of it? There’s is a Menu tab displayed under “phone” listing History and Messages, do either of those contain a list of old text messages. My system is configured to read text messages to me as I drive. Many thanks.
Got my 22 Lunar Rock, pretty truck, my charging mat doesn't seem to be charging my iphone. Any tips? Motorcycle rider here as well, agree with lighting for conspicuity.
Can you go over the features on a fully loaded Tacoma that are missing on this one? Crawl Control, locking rear diff, and there are models with a lot more buttons in the "buttons Near Shifter" section that starts at 15:57 in this video. This truck only has 3 buttons, where I've seen Tacomas with that panel loaded.
I've watched 5 or more of your videos in preparation for my Tacoma TRD Sport, and learned lots from them. I was hoping you would address remote starting the TRD and higher Tacomas in this video. I ended up finding the answer I needed via Toyota Jeff reviews remote start video. It amazes me toyota isn't more clear that most of their vehicles come with remote start. My Tacoma is on order, I have the spec sheet from the dealer and everything and still no evidence of knowing if I had remote start other than having remote connect trial on the spec sheet.
Thank you for watching. Remote start is actually not standard on any vehicles. It’s a trial period only, and on select models, then you have to pay a subscription after the trial is up. These are vehicles equipped with remote connect only.
When I try to charge my phone on the qi wireless it doesn't work it doesn't let my iPhone charge or other phones I don't know what's wrong we went to the dealer ship and it charges fines their but when we are driving or at home it doesn't let us is their other buttons to make it work or do I just have to replace the charging station
Sorry I cannot diagnose your charger. Did you use the same phone to test it at the dealer? Sometimes a new case might be too thick. Sometimes the phone may not be aligned properly etc.
great video. my Tacoma is 3 months old, and the analog gauges' backlight is completely off during daytime driving but works fine at night. how to adjust sensor sensitivity adjustment?
Thanks for the rundown. I just got a 2022 TRD Sport but I also have an extra button near the ECT Power. It's got a P with like a radar symbol. I'm assuming that has something to do with parking in reverse. Not sure what it is. Maybe it makes a sound when you get close or turns the sound off? Also, the lane departure. Mine is set to on, but when I hit the button, the light comes on. Do I have to hit the button and turn it on for it to actually work or is it always working? You mentioned it had to do with cruise control.
Nice truck. The P is parking sonar it beeps as you get closer to things in reverse. The lane departure can work without being in cruise control. That will beep when you exit your lane on either side.
Yes very helpful..i wasnt sure if line departure and bsm were same! This was big help..does more than i thought..im scared to customize and mess up anything!
In Setup, I can't select "Vehicle" because the word is faded. And looks like there are lots of options in "Vehicle" that are very useful. Any ideas? 25:47
@@brianruperti Wouldn't ya know. Thanks for the solution as well as the video. Learned a few more things as I also have a 22' TRD, only with a few more bells & whistles. Biggest thing, didn't know it was an option but I disabled that annoying auto A/C! 🙂
My 2022 trd sport wasn't listed as having remote start but I found out by using the key fob I actually do have remote start.. what's the deal with this?
It means your truck has remote connect from the app and after the trial period is over the feature from the fob will likely cease to exist without a paid subscription.
I wish you had covered the screen during daytime. I like to have my headlights on during the day, but the screen gets too dark to see. Can that be set differently?
The back button only works if you have multiple menus to go through. On Tacomas many menus don’t have multiple pages so the back button doesn’t have a function. Totally normal.
4H is great for tough terrain like gravel and dirt trails. 4WD should not be used in rain. Nothing will help with ice in my experience bedsides reduced speed and steady throttle. 4WD is superior in snow. I hope this helps!
@Brian Ruperti thanks for replying. I got into an accident a couple of weeks ago in my SUV and using the truck until my car is replaced. Just so nervous about driving it! This is a great video! Keep doing what you do! It was so helpful for me!
Thank you for the video. Learned a lot. Did u make a video for more for the off roading features? I just got my truck and this is awesome - you’re awesome! Happy 4th!
An essential video. Thanks! The odometer button, if you turn it left or right, you can adjust the intensity of the speedo cluster lights. Can you buy a Toyota car garage switch that fits in any of the empty holes of the dash and plug'n play it somehow? (does that exists?)
When you plug it in the phone and truck will prompt you. If that doesn’t occur, on the truck screen, go to menu>settings>CarPlay and turn it on. If that doesn’t work, in the phone settings search bar type “CarPlay” and turn it on.
Awesome help. Just got mine last week. They weren't real helpful at the dealership. This is amazing. I will save for review on what I don't get the first or second pass...
Totally agree, just got my Tacoma and the salesperson is clearly getting tired of my questions, I feel so much better now. The manual is no help, too confusing.
@@brianruperti that’s a bummer. I’m not sure why Toyota did not put a locking gas cover. Even my old CRV had to be popped open from inside. With the price of gas, people are siphoning again.
My 2022 Sport 4x4 was 42 K out the door. I ordered it at the end of 2021. My sales man told me the price went up in April 21, and I'm sure it has gone up again for the 2023s. Get the 2023, the last year of the 3rd gen has the bugs worked out. (well, mostly) 2024s are going to be more expensive.@@emmanuellrhoads

ECT is essentially what is called “Tow/Haul” mode on other pickups. Holds the shifts longer, keeps RPMs a bit higher if you’re pulling weight.
Wait till you read the funny way they describe it in the user manual
Thank you Brian. I just bought my new 2023 today. I have more info in your video than trying to read the owners manual. Very helpful 👍
Thanks for watching!
Hey friend! I just got mine, how much did you pay for it back then?
Thank you so much Brian!
I just bought a new Tacoma and this tutorial is very helpful!

Hey! Sorry there isn’t a way to do that but you can map the audio or phone to the Home Screen which is the next best option
This was just what i needed. Cant wait to get my positive feelings! Feelings 😊

I have my taco 2023. Cero miles
Nice. Heck ya. Thanks man.
I got you brother!
There is a green symbol in the top right corner of the screen between the two clocks what does that symbol means.
Sorry I’m not sure what you mean. The MID screen or the infotainment screen?
ECT PWR button is more like the old Ford OD or Overdrive button. Pretty much does the same thing. The turn Key is called a Valet key.
Do you have a tutorial for a 2017 Lexus 350ES ?
Just Toyotas for now
Excellent video. Thank you very much. Very helpful.
Thanks I’m glad to help!
Your truck is missing buttons from the off road package
😖
awesome job as always Brian.. you explain it well and in layman's term............ 👌👍👍
Thanks!
What is the button that is between the 4 wheel selector switch and the climate control switch?
Heated mirrors
Awesome video. Much appreciated.
Thank you
You missed the button directly below the 4-way flasher and the 2wd/4wd and driver-side temp control knobs. What is it for? Thanks!
Ahh must be the heated side mirrors
@@brianruperti That makes sense. lol Thanks!

It gives you a cushion on gas. When it says 0, I have about 2 gallons left.

Wonder how long the battery last in the hand heald key or should one carry a extra battery
Sorry can’t watch it, I get PTSD looking at volume/skip and cruise control controls 😂
Thanks

Get a lock gas cap 😬
FanTAStic ! All these buttons were making my head spin (TRDOR D-cab SB '23)... Last vehicle I bought was in 1999, when Prince was still singin'.
Thank you!
