I spoke with Troy many times over the past couple months. He cannot sell warranties for this car anymore. He told me that even the youngest RAV4 is too old for an extended warranty. I live in New York and I purchased my warranty from him just before the car turned 36,000 miles. I ran many...

I am having new tires put on and the dealer just called me to tell me that I need to replace my front brake pads. They are at 2mm he says. I have a 2014 with about 55,000 miles. I tow my lawnmower to my rental properties so I guess I used them up. They quoted me $500! I can probably do them...

Welcome to the group. Warranty, if you are buying it from a used car dealer you can get a used car toyota warranty for $2999. I have been told that anyone can buy the used car warranty at any point but when I tried I was denied. So IDK Here is what I have copied and saved from previous...

Bummer. Keep us posted.

Update: Since receiving a quote for an aluminum box that was way higher than I expected, I have totally redesigned my box and modules. The new design will be actually be easier and cheaper but I will lose more space in my car. I have decided to go with fiberglass for the shell of the box and...

Web page finally loaded and I was able to post an update. Thank you.

Thank you. I’m not sure I’m going to keep this display so I’ll hold off on buying the part for now. I just got the quote for the box from the welder..... 1/4” aluminum isn’t cheap..... $1000!! And that doesn’t include cutting the floor and putting in a new floor pan, that’s just the box. I’ve...

Are you an admin Miimura?

I have emailed [hidden] 3 times and haven't received an answer. I am being restricted from posting in my range extending thread. No idea why but I cannot post there anymore. I can post elsewhere, just not in that thread. It tells me that my "Submitted form is invalid. Try again later". When I...

Im in the same boat. Nothing else like the rav is coming out in the next few years. Keep the rav.

Good to hear! Congrats!

Update: Working through the snowstorm... I reconnected the 12v battery, display connected, phone on, shunt disconnected from the ground HV battery wire and not powered up by 12 volts. Car starts and charges like normal. NO PHONE CALL being made! I go into the back and send 12 volts to the...

Ok, just went out again. Car was charging and operating fine. Before I opened a door I shut down my iPhone 6. Totally off. Got in the car and pressed power with the car charging AND the display still powered. Shunt/transmitter off. NO phone calls were being made. Good I went to the back and...

I left the 12v battery disconnected for about over an hour. Just reconnected it, car rebooted, car started, car is now charging. However, something strange is going on. Again when I started my car the radio wouldn't work. The radio said that I was making a phone call. I was not, I took a photo...

Possible issue. I’m not sure what’s going on yet. Car is behaving strangely and doesn’t want to be charged. It all started when I let the battery drain to about 300 V. I wanted to see how low it would go before the car shut off. The climate control limited warning came up and I stopped the...

As miimura said, it wouldnt really work unless I made a mini pack. It has to be 92s which is almost $500 in cells. Building one module wouldnt work because each module is only 10s. Yeah the cell level fusing is going to be tedious. I just ordered a spot welder to do the job though so that will...

Thanks for the pointer. The part you suggested isnt very expensive and would be easy to add. You just touched on the thing I am working on now. The OEM contactors operate on CAN, which is not my forte. So I need to find another way to trigger my contactors. I am planning on going under the...

Yes, I know paralleling two different cells is not recommended by some in the electronics world but it works and I haven't seen any negative results. The only result is that some cells will see a higher or lower amperage based on the resistance of the cells. I dont see the problem there as long...
