there is a hidden airbag inside your steering wheel
Zhangy 😂
You have to hit it really hard to get it primed ;)
lolol
faisal3398 yeah but like to make sure it goes off, just drive into the back of a truck as fast as you can :D
Unco Casey which is like 20mph have u seen how embarrassingly slow those cars are
that traction control method looks like a damn cheat code
bimbo swagginz I couldn't get the traction control to turn off
Marr Gon YES!
@Marr Gon just hold the traction button for like 10 seconds or until it turns off thats how mine works
SKUUURT would it be the same thing? And also does it turn itself back on with the e brake brake method same as it would with the button method
yes it will be, it turns off ALL traction. And i have never herd of the e brake method i think its a joke.
My dealer didn't tell me the car eventually runs out of gas! Had to find that out all by myself.
Lmao
wtf, this japanese cars are a joke
Send it back for a new one
Omg my dealer told me to put REGULAR GAS IN A GT86 I ALMOST SHAT MYSELF
Hahaha
*If you open your hood and drive 30mph it will open even further!*
wtf xDDD
Yeah just broke
thx for the hack, i tried it out and i can now proudly say i have a permalifted hood 10/10 great hack would try with my supra
omg that reversed name tho ;]
I will have to try this. THANKS
If the battery in your key dies, you can simply put the keyfob near the starter button and start the car. There is a chip in the key that the starter button can pick up on at a short range. You just keep the key in the hand that is pressing the button and it should work.
Luke
Joshua Baer ???😂
Luke I've accidentally left empty comments before, just tired asf and usually miss the right button then end up accidentally leaving a comment on just their name rip
thats great, cheers.
This is in the manual
I think the best hidden feature is the owner's manual.
Don't even own a BRZ but watched this video.
Keep making awesome content.
s2234234245 same , came from tjs channel
thats so crazy to me, thanks man
Haha sames. Cool video dude
s2234234245 same lol
same
OMFGGGG My brother borrowed my FR-S and came back and said he broke my trunk button on my keys... NO I JUST PAUSED THIS VIDEO & WENT OUT THERE AND SAW HE JUST PRESSED THAT BUTTON NO ONE KNEW ABOUT.................. it's been 5 months!! #annoyed
Sucker
Perfect way to troll somebody.
Jessica Brown this comment perfectly describes the type of people that drive frs compared to brz..
alex the same people because it's the same car?
alex You mean slow, like the car?
Next time, take the five extra minutes to warm your car up so you can show that the steps work. Also, put an SD card in and show it. A little extra prep would have gone a long way.
noted, thanks !
i 2nd this
Lol that's what I was just thinking 😂🤔
Couldn't agree more appreciate the video but it could have been better
Michael Morrone He dildnt warm itbup because it is a load if bullshit and that traction control doesnt work
Removing all of traction control seams like putting in a cheat code on your controller. It seems so weird.
Or a fatality in mortal kombat
nah, drive a car that doesn't need an ecu to run. then you'll know what real cheating is
The seat head rests can be reversed to allow the driver to wear a helmet on track days
Forklifts have similar ways of clearing fault codes and lights. Quite common in some newer ones.
Up up down down left right left right select start.
FINISH HIM!!!
You can reduce cabin noise by taking cover grommet off of the cigarette lighter behind the glove box and moving it to cover the tube just below the glove box. The tube was put there to help you hear the engine, but if you're like me and you want to hear the radio instead this helps.
Nice to see that Subaru brought back the second hood prop location. The 1st gen Impreza had it and it was awesome.
Don't they all have them? I had a 1997 legacy GT-B wagon, and now have a 2006 3.0L H6 Outback, both of which can do that?
The second gen Impreza and Forester definitely don't have it. I'm wrapping a bungee strap around my garage rafters and hooking one end to my hood latch to get the same effect now :(
My 1983 Brumby and 1998 Forester have this bonnet feature
My 2009 STI and the wife's 2011 Impreza have them.
Guessing its probably a 'service' position as per most cars from the mid 90s lol
Dude the door lock thing was killing me and couldn't find it in manual. Ran out and did it on my FRS and worked like a charm 😁👍🏼
holy crap. i work as a toyota tech and even i didnt know about the majority of this stuff... guess im turning that TCS off completely the next time i get to drive the company's gt86 ;-)
Howler I always thought to completely turn off all driving aids you hold down the sports mode and tcs bottons down simultaneously for a few seconds until the lights on the dash change..it definitely cuts off tcs and traction control!
jtesah quality control mate. dont give a shit bout my image on youtube...
Sounds like my last visit to the Toyota dealership service department. They had to ring Subaru to find out how to re-initialise the self leveling headlights on my 2017 to compensate for the Toyota option lowering springs. That was after they told me it couldn't be done of course. I found the Toyota tech doc on how to do it in less than 5 minutes. All that certified training money being spent right I suppose.
Robnoxious77 They had trouble doing a damn oil change on my '16. Took 3 trips for them to get it right and not overfill it.
Actually, as a fellow Toyota Tech, this is great info for diag. This will help us from tripping false-positive ABS codes and having to hook up a scanner, drive the car and clear them. This also helps to have fun when I get my own.
I don't even own a car, but watching this. Keep it up mate.
Funfact, your AC vents are 86mm :o
jort88 and your exhaust tips 😊
Jesse Jaques and your stroke and bore.
I ride a bike and i'm watching this
JT Suarez your just like a person that says I'm 9 and I'm watching this in the comments on a dank me especially vid
I ride JT Suarez mum and I am watching this.
I’m taking a shit and I’m watching this.
No, you don't ride a bike
😆😆😆
Did you know if you fold the seat down you can plow a chick inside
😏
Clav3l Gaming 04+ grand prix can almost fit a full size mattress if you fold both sides of the back seat down 😁. Perfect for that same thing trust me
Clav3l Gaming I'm 6'1, there's no 'plowing' going on in any of today's cars for me except maybe a Ford Flex. On the other hand, if you're not dating a cow, you CAN check her right angle bend over the deck lid or just lie her lengthwise on the hood.
Same here. But my old outback with the back seat folded down made for one steamy romp.
Let's keep this diverse, you can also plow a man too just for the sake of diversity
I wonder how many people are going to go to dealerships and put porno images on the GT-86 and brz start up screens....
Mizino: In Over My Head. Wow... Im going to town next Saturday and doing that. Awesome suggestion.!
Mizino: In Over My Head. Omg genius all praise the porno king
Mizino: In Over My Head. congratulations, you've just won the internet! What are you going to do next?
well i am now
I've owned my frs for 3 years and I had no idea about a cigarette lighter in the glove box. 😂
Franke609 I found it by watching a "sound tube" video
michael tasker lol my sound tube been gone for years, I now run a power wire for my amp threw that hole.
Like how this guy gives quick and informative tips.
You can unlock both doors by pressing the unlock button twice
On the key
No, I think he's talking about the door handle sensor that unlocks the door when you touch it. It normally only unlocks the door you touch, but after the button combo on the fob, both doors unlock.
Who has the time to actually push a button to unlock their car.. next you'll say we should have to turn on the A/C if we're hot, or turn on our wipers if it's raining
Oh shit my maxima have the same feature lol
Bryan Liguori there are some rain sensitive wipers.... at least Chrysler does because I used to work at a Chrysler dealership
Similar to #2 the shift light, in DISP (MPGs and outdoor temp gauge) there is an option to add a tachometer light and beep to notify the driver of when to shift at the set rpms. I usually set it to 2,800 for fuel mileage or about 6,500 for hooning.
A 'hidden' feature I found on mine was that it had a hill start assist, to activate you start the car, hold the traction control off button for 30 seconds, wait until the hill light flashes on - then off again, press the traction control off button again, restart the car and when you lift off the break on a hill it holds until you set off! Had the car for 10 months before I found that one!
Is this for real? I had an sti that had it, was wishing the brz had it. Might have to actually try this
Did this work??
@@kendallbenline5478 I believe it's just 2017 and newer that has it. My 2015 doesnt appear to have it
@@nigeljoycey5644 well I will try it tomorrow if I remember and tell you if this is true. I have a 2019 brz
@@nigeljoycey5644 did you try it? What year is your car?
I just bought a 2017 BRZ! My first manual! Even though I've pretty much gotten the shifting down now, but showing the gear I'm in is still a nice way to double check. Thanks!
Heck yeah man, good stuff! Keep doing you 🤙🏻
i just bought a 2017 BRZ and im loving it! funnest car ive ever driven! these little tips are dope cause i bought it private sale and got no run down of the vehicle before buying! thank you!!!
I thought this was going to be a dumb video with a pretentious over tone with him saying very obvious things, but this was very informative. I don't even drive one of the three cars and i watched all the way through
thanks for showing how to open both doors with the keyless entry via driver door handle. that always annoyed me that it would only unlock the driver door then I'd have to hit the unlock button inside the car to open the passenger door
Jaime7188 did you manage to make it work?
I've always just hit the Unlock button twice to unlock both doors. That seems to work fine.
@ Mark Hakanson Yeah, but the door handle feature is a lot more convenient, because you don't have to dig out your fob to open the door.
now we just need a tip on how to make both doors lock when you start the car.
Cheat codes for cars 😂
Thanks for doing this video. I've just purchased a GT86 and these tips and tricks are brilliant. keep up the great content!
You need many more subs! This video is good quality, you learn something, you have an good language and attitude! Keep up the good work
I don't own one of these, but I'm really researching one as a track toy/ no snow car, and congrats on actually making a "tips a tricks" style video that actually teaches you something! Thank you
You ca use it on winter too, thanks to that LSD
The pedal dance activates what is called diagnostic mode. Aside from traction control it also disables the electronic brake distribution system, which is why its good for track days. Allows you to use trail braking without the EBD doing crazy shit when you least expect it. Other than the traction control stuff you wont notice the difference unless you're really havin a go.
Just got my 86 a month ago. Your video was really awesome, in my opinion, so thanks ☺
wow that trunk tip blew me away lol I thought my trunk sensor or something was broken that I thought about going to a dealer. All the other tips were so helpful getting to know the little things about my car. Thanks!!!
FYI for any FRS owners (and BRZ if you don't mind giving up the auto dim feature in the review mirror). If you have a dash cam or radar detector that you would like to hard wire to power when the vehicle is on. There is a wire above the dome light that controls the auto dim feature in the mirror for the BRZ models (probably nicer GT86 models as well) but if you have a base FRS, the wires are still there. You can T into those really easy to not have to run wires all the way down to the glove box cigarette lighter.
This doesn't kill the autodim. You can also wire in to the dome lights for switched 12v up there.
@@illiteratebeef You could T into it, and add a bigger fuse, however I try not to join multiple circuits into one...
I should be getting my BRZ within the next few weeks, and this video is amazing. Thanks man! Good work.
did you get it?
Dude thank you for making this video! Super helpful the door unlock used to drive me nuts
Liked this vid before I even watched! lol I have a yellow BRZ and this vid I'm sure will be awesome!
I own a 2017 BRZ. Found the hidden cigarette lighter receptacle. Also was able to reconfigure the door unlock settings by holding both lock and unlock buttons until I heard a beep.
I work at a subaru dealership and just realized I pushed that trunk button today on a car and never pushed it back to where it was... but I guess if that car comes back I'll at least know how to fix it! Hahaha
another brz/frs lover like myself you sit have just earned this sub lol
+Amnlacy thanks !!
Thank you, I never would have found the additional cigarette lighter. Now I can use it for my XM radio. 😊
now I can re-wire my dashcam ! its kind a bit annoying every time I'm shifting. Thanks for the video!
RyanLomocsoVlogs ever thought of wiring it to an open slot in the fuse box? It seems like very few people do this anymore.
Excellent tips, several I haven't read or heard about before. Thank you.
Yeah, I'd never seen anyone explain how to unlock both doors from the driver's side.
Kevin F also couldn't get this to work, the car just went into panic mode
Marr Gon do you have an FRS or a BRZ?
the door has to be open when you do it
Freddie Waterman that's if he has an FRS
Awesome video man, just got a BRZ the other day and the keyless entry unlock has been driving me crazy.
great vid dude! i didn't know that!
I sell Subaru and didn't know a couple of these things...thanx
Watching this and i own a 1998 ford taurus
I'm about to pick up my 2019 86 GT at the dealer, so I'm watching videos to pass the time and Robbie mentions the pain-in-the-ass only driver door unlocks fix. My wife's 2013 Prius V only unlocks the driver door as well unless you hit the unlock button to unlock all doors. After watching this video, I had to grab the keys, run outside and hold the lock & unlock buttons on the fob... a few seconds later, the Prius V beeps a few times and I grab the door handle BAM! ALL doors unlock now! Thanks Robbie!
Thank robbie i love your content
Or you just read the OWNERS MANUAL!!!
Yeah, it's all in the Owner's Manual. And I wish he'd stop saying "cigarette lighter" - they're 12V outlets, and they're not able to handle the heat from an actual cigarette lighter.
I have a 1989 Miata and I enjoyed this
speaking of car features, boy do i love my 93's trunk release next to the gas cover release
Travis Ramsey that's weird because the first Miata was a 1990 lol
xTheNameisEthan No, '89 was the first year
I own a 98 Honda accord supercharged and I'm learning fun facts about the brz 😂 honestly love watching ur vids
Subaru actually has a function as well where you can deactivate your key fob so it won’t function. This is for if you go hiking or swimming or something and just want to take the key blade with you, you can then lock the key fob away and the vehicle it’s a lesser potential for theft. Just thought it was a cool trick to share, if you want to know how to do it there is videos on Subaru’s TH-cam page as well.
I know this is an old video but I love everything you do and it’s inspiring and keeps faith for finding my way and doing what makes me happy as well. Keep it up man!
I put a 1995 5 speed from an outback on a 2004 forester. Subarus are cool.
It DOESN'T have a cigarette lighter in you glove box. It has a 12V DC outlet.
Most of these were useful as a new manual driver. I couldn't find the gear shift light anywhere, so I thought I didn't have it. Didn't know the car had to be in acc mode only. That is going to be super helpful while I'm still learning. I didn't know about the cig lighter in the glove box, good to know as I have a dash cam as well. The door unlocking will be nice since it's not only me going places. Thank you so much! Your videos have helped me TREMENDOUSLY! I have a 2015 brz and I'm loving it.
Im not sure if the pedal dance is different on newer brz’s but on older ones its different than you showed. You start the car and hold the brake while the e-brake is down, then you do what you did in the video but then you have to also press the brake down twice again at the end to turn it off. At least thats how it is with my 2013
now i can put my hentai on my start screen, thanks
So how do you turn the traction control back on?
Ninja Hacking/Glitching power cycle
Just turn the car off and on again
Thats so cool! Never knew about the extra 12v output! Thanks!!!
Thanks for all the clear info.
Well, would u look at that! There's a hidden gun under my seat...
I own a motorcycle........why am I watching this? xD
I just bought a 2016 BRZ, excited to try all of these out!
Nice video man. Only thing I didn't already know (only bc I looked into this stuff in 2016 when I got my car 🙂) was the "hack" of running the dashcam cord down the a-pillar into the glove box. Way neater than my current setup (same dashcam haha). Thanks man.
About that pedal dance - in my FR-S, turning all nannies (except abs) completely, indefinitely off is accomplished simply by holding down the 'Traction control off' button for three seconds at speeds below 30 mph. Is that just a Toyota thing?
Idk why I'm watching this but I own a 2010 Toyota Prius lol
Alexander Tony Issa joke lol
i heard a rumor that the pedal dance works on a prius too...
oh god, install a hydro on a prius and turn of the tc XD
I use to own a 2018 Prius and now have a 2019 Corolla SE but wished I had an FRS or BRZ back in 2013
ARaw chase your dreams big girl
A hidden feature is that you can put a turbo on it
Actually i heard its really hard to do because of the small space, and it was not designed to have them installed...
Well where there i will there is a way, look up tj hunts brz..
He did a kit and it sceemed like the only problem he had was to get misimoto fans for the radiator.
But maybe it was easy for him with the car already being supercharged and bodykittet before.
I did nooooot notice my 2nd cigarette lighter!! Can't wait to try these
Just bought a BRZ and thanks so much for this!
Behind the dash right above the glove box there's a secret airtight compartment , perfect for hiding your paraphernalia.
I drive an Audi S3 sedan but this is interesting
Thanks for taking the to make the video- I had no idea about 4 of the 5. The passenger side unlock feature is a big help
Thank you for this video!
For the traction control one, instead of doing the pedal trick you can just hold the traction off button (driver side) for about 10 seconds when the car is running and all traction will go off. I've been doing it this way since I got my BRZ!
Anthony would it work good for track days?
Im getting one in 6 years
5 years
4 years
3 years
dude i bought a Brz Ts cause of your vids man :)
4:32 it helped me on toyota prius. It always annoyed me when got in to the car with keyless entry I had to push unlock button to open other doors. Thank you so much for your video.
You can also turn off all traction and stability control in almost any car by holding the traction button for a few seconds. You just hold it until the traction and stability control lights on your dash come on and everything is off until you hit the button again to turn it all on.
Nope. Usually the traction control is still on, but only at about 10-25%
What I usually do is just buy a car built before 2008 :P
wow, i thought it was over! I can drift and no recovery action happens (gt86 eu spec)
There's a hidden bomb inside your steering wheel
To unleash it, all you have to do is drive into a wall a 60mph.
Ok if you have impreza sport change plugs at 50 thousand miles.never use transmission as a break.they are $4000.00 for a new transmission.oil change every 6000
I catch the bus but this is still interesting. Nice vid.
That half second at the start before you did your intro was gold
There's a secret compartment that can only be unlocked if six other hidden buttons are opened in a specific order. If done in the correct manner, within a specific time frame, the button pops up. This button is red and has written on it "powa" and will give the BRZ (not on the FRS) an additional 100 horsepower for 100 milliseconds exactly!
Interesting video, but damn you talk fast
My dealer never told me that you can play music through your stereo. Another good detail
Thanks for the vid didn’t know about the cig lighter in the glove compartment and opening both driver and passenger side simultaneously when opening the door from the driver side.
next time do demonstrations okay thanks
this video is meh
*meth
you are meh
nice one bruv, didn't know a lot of that stuff lol. great vid.
Nice video, can't wait to mess with a couple of these things.
Thanks for the secret lighter, I was about to order in a dashcam and was worried I may have wires everywhere
you can open the rear seats from inside the car, I had to figure it out when i accidentally closed my trunk without the electronic switch plugged in that operates the lock and mechanism. All you have to do is lift up the pins that are located at the top of the seats on either end, and its easier to do if you pop off the plastic covers around them first.
The regular / 90 degree hood thing is common to a lot of cars... on my 'Accord, there are 2 (TWO) slots where you can rest the prop rod. The regular one near the edge of the hood, and one, further down, close to the middle for the "all the way up" mode.
OMG i been killing my brain trying to figure out why its not showing which gear i m in anymore ..been trying to figure out how to have it back on...thank you man
Picked up a 2020 yesterday! Thanks Robbie
Nice. How do you enable all the safety system back again ?
Here's a weird one about the BRZ, there is a little hole high on the passenger's footwell that directs more engine sound into the car. You can also plug it with the same 12v power plug cover if you want to reduce noise. I've tried it and it doesn't really make a difference but hey, it's there.
Great video and thanks as its been really useful, i will find the cigarette lighter socket in the glove compartment and altering the key less entry the most useful on my GT86.
