    EV System Error

    I have gotten this several times in the past few weeks but it always cleared. Yesterday while 40 miles from home it came on and didn't clear so I took it to a dealer nearby. They advised that they were going to need to keep it for several days. In the meantime they had reset the codes and I...

    I'll bet the SO is happy that some of her "Honeydo" projects are getting done.

    HOV vehicle sticker ( decal )

    I am going to the dealership today to have them sign the statement of facts. In the meantime I got my personalized plates (TOY TSLA) so the original application has changed. I also noticed that I made a mistake and left out a digit on the VIN# so I will submit the original plus the updated one...

    HOV vehicle sticker ( decal )

    I applied for my sticker on December 3rd and yesterday I got the application back from DMV saying that the vehicle type on the registration was inconsistent with my app. I never looked on the registration but the dealer put type "G" in the MP box. DMV sent me a Statement of Facts form...

    Cold weather regen braking anomoly

    I have been noticing the same message when the outside temp is around 45 degrees. At first I noticed it when my RAV was fully charged. The Curtiss controller on my VW conversion will limit voltage and amps when the battery is full to prevent overcharging the battery. I know that regen braking...

    obd 2 adapter

    I tried my Garmin OBD EcoRout Communicator and it did not work. I have a Scanguage somewhere, and will try it if I can find it, I did look into the spec and the CANbus signal is on pins 6 and 14 of the connector. The CANbus spec calls for 120 Ohm resistors on each end so the connector should...

    Compliance Car

    I don't think it has the cargo capacity that you are looking for. I looked into buying some factory racks or finding adapters for my Yakima system. I gave up because it was too costly. For the few times I need a sheet of plywood, I can get some carpenter friends to use their truck. Also I just...

    Has anybody been contacted by Toyota Corporate?

    I also got the survey earlier. This guy may have been following up because I answered some questions in the middle range and when asked what else I would have like on the car, I responded that I would like a SOC meter with details about KW used and charged. I did some research on my system and...

    $2500 CA Rebate Approval Letter

    I got my email today saying that the check would be along in 60 days. Even if it is taxable, which I doubt, it will probably hit in 2013,

    Has anybody been contacted by Toyota Corporate?

    I got a call today from a guy named Spillane who said he worked for Toyota and was contacting RAV4EV owners. The only question I could think of was the one about Phantom loads (I called them Vampire Loads) on the 12 volt system. He said he would talk to the tech people and get back to me. I...

    Mounting and charging a phone

    I paired again and it worked. Only problem is that it only downloaded 1000 names and I had more in my contacts list. How it picked the 1000 names, I don't know, but some of the missing ones are ones I wanted to put in my speed dial. So I have reduced that to 975 and will try again tomorrow...

    Mounting and charging a phone

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S III (GS3) and a MyTouch (HTC) The MyTouch syncs but the Samsung doesn't. The screen on the vehicle says. "Transfer failed"

    Mounting and charging a phone

    I haven't mounted mine yet but I think I discovered that the USB is always on, so that your phone can charge when the car is off. For that reason I might mount it low near the USB port also. I can't get my contacts to sync and haven't figured out how to manually add my favorites to the directory...

    Tell your friends: 0.00% financing and $5,000 cash!

    MY experience with Lithium cells in a bicycle and my VW project tells me that you want to avoid either end of the battery's capacity,.ie the bottom or the top. Even though my project batteries have a capacity of 90 amps I only discharge them to 20% of capacity and charge them to only 80%. The...

    $2500 CA Rebate Approval Letter

    I mailed mine Dec 11th. It will be interesting to see if I get it before year end. From what I understand from a Prius forum it is not taxable because it is considered a reduction in the cost of the vehicle.
