    I like the steering table. Yes it looks kinda dumb at first but it is super functional.

      Yeah, at first glance it looks goofy but it's certainly handy. Thanks for watching!

      No problem Ed! You’ve inspired me to finally getting around to add that mod to my Rav4

    I'll be getting my new Rav4 XSE hybrid in a few weeks. Your video is helpful. My favorites from this video are the LED lights and the knee pad. Those are must-have items. I'll have to see what type of lights my Rav4 comes with. Btw, I like your comment about the visor pouch holding CDs back in the day!

    Get a drawer knob from a hardware store and put it in the center of the center console tray. Makes lifting out the tray easy and it’s about $4

    Hi just can’t get enough of your videos thank you. I do need you help on two matters.
    1. What are the details of the usb charger that fits the blank in the dash board please.
    2. Please note there are many differences / changes to the2023 hybrid RAV4 . I cannot get help even from Toyota in Australia. I want to access the cargolight in the rear of the cabin and no one can advise on how to remove it , to install lights on rear hatch door. Please reply
    Thank you again Ed.

      Hi Ed, thanks for watching. To answer your questions:
      1. I'm a bit confused as I don't think I mentioned anything about a usb charger that fits in any of the blank panel switches. I mentioned a wireless Carplay adapter. Perhaps you're talking about that, or maybe you meant to leave this comment on another video?
      2. I'm aware that some of these changes/upgrades such as interior LED lighting, wireless carplay, etc. don't apply to newer model year Rav4's (post '21) as Toyota went ahead and made those changes as standard OEM equipment in later model years. I can tell you that in order to get to the light in the cargo area to change the bulb I had to remove the fixture with a plastic trim removal tool, which pops out the whole assembly. You can use a screwdriver too, or even a credit card, just pop it in behind one of the corners of the light until the thing pops out.
      I haven't done the lights-on-the-rear-hatch-door upgrade yet, but here are the links for several rather complete walkthroughs of what it is I think you're getting at:

    I totally agree about it being to dark at night in my Rav4 I bought last week. I just ordered a led light kit. I have know idea how to install them though lol! I'll have to hire someone that knows how without messing up my Rav!

    • @brendansoutdoors377
      @brendansoutdoors377  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They’re actually really easy to install! You just use the included pry tool to open all the lighting fixtures and switch out the original bulbs. Do a quick YT search for “changing led bulbs in rav4” and a bunch of instructional videos pop up like this one: th-cam.com/video/LzzZmdIMt04/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FdhXbNF9dDLfi_qn

      yeah you are! They also make them for the driver's left knee and the passenger side of the car as well, which I forgot to mention in the video 🤦🏼‍♂️
      needing a knee cushion makes me feel so old, but 1) that plastic is hard AF and 2) I guess I am old 🤔

    Brendan hi I’d like to know what year is your RAV4? I have a 2023 do you think that has incandescent or LED lighting on the 2023 RAV4?

    • @brendansoutdoors377
      @brendansoutdoors377  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey George, thanks for watching! My Rav is a 2020. A 2023 Rav4 is going to have LED “room lights” as Toyota calls them and door switches-they figured out that people want interior LED’s after the 2022 model year, I think. I can’t speak to their temperature or brightness though. Hope that helps!

      LMAO! All jokes aside, SOLID VIDEO! it seems like Toyota took most of these upgrades and modifications into consideration, purchased my 2023 trd offroad few weeks ago now and have probably half of these already are already installed. Btw i do not plan on rolling up or smoking in the new rav4 but my stoner brain couldn’t help but comment!

    Nightmare 1 when you want to lower your windows and have to turn the light on so you can see. Nightmare 2 when you want to turn the interior light on and don't see where to press cause they are also dark. Toyota you can do better.

      Occasionally I update the firmware with a link from the manufacturer. Sometimes it drops bluetooth signal/has trouble connecting, but that's usually only in remote locations.

    Sorry but I don't like lights that make me feel like I'm in Walmart or an office.

    • @brendansoutdoors377
      @brendansoutdoors377  11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I usually prefer a warmer light temperature for my environments, but as they're not constantly on while I'm using the car like they would be in an office or a Walmart, and their main reason for existing is so that I can actually see things for the brief moments that they're on in the car, I'll take the upgrade in functionality from the factory-installed incandescent bulbs. They also make replacements in warmer colors, or in whatever color you like: amzn.to/3GzgMkb
