Follow up - With Tony's assistance, I received confirmation from Carson Toyota that they would service the vehicle with the JDeMO. I had it towed there on 5/22/17. After confirming on arrival what was to be done, they diagnosed the issue after a couple of days to be a traction battery failure...

If you have a JdeMO, I do not recommend Tustin Toyota in Orange County. I have a check EV message and took it there for diagnosis (flatbed). After getting to the battery, they decided they no longer wanted to troubleshoot it due to the wiring that the JdeMO adds. They forced me to move it...

And that is exactly what I needed. Thank you so much! Interesting thing happened after I did that. I tried starting the vehicle again, and the Ready locked in this time. I did it multiple times, and the Check EV message cleared. I've driven the car for a bit with no issue, but I am still going...

I'm getting a little discouraged with this plug. I cannot for the life of me get it to pop loose from the charger. I have the lock clip pulled back, and have wiggled and pulled it every which way, but it will not budge. I can't wait forever to get this done, as I need to get the car into the...

I got the harness loose from the jdemo to the OEM connector, but I still cannot break loose the jdemo harness from the onboard charger. Not sure what I am doing wrong, beyond not pulling hard enough.

Holy cow! Trying the disconnect those plugs is way more difficult then the instructions make it out. I have pulled back the locks on both, but can't for the life of me get enough grip strength on them to pull them loose. Is there a trick I am missing? They are just not budging.

Thanks for the info and advice. I'll pull the connections this weekend and take it in Monday.

The wife was driving the RAV home from work today. On the freeway, she says she heard a clunk, and the car lost all power (Turtle came on), like she started braking. She got it over to the side and came to a stop. She turned it off and on again, and it went Ready and started. She got the Check...

I'm not sure about fixing the screen, but if you have the app installed on your mobile device, you can plug the car in and tell the car to start charging by going to Charge Management and choosing "Charge Now" at the bottom. Good luck!

Toby's out of state sales were shut down last year by Toyota, so that should explain his lack of response. I was fortunate to have dealt with him last summer, prior to the crack-down. Good luck on your quest. http://www.myrav4ev.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1124&p=21927

I bought one of these a couple of years ago, modified with the J1772 as well. It has been charging the RAV 4 completely trouble-free since. This is a great deal, and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to charge at home at the top charging speed of the built-in charger.

I emailed Toby a few weeks ago at 35,952. Sprung for the 8 year, 125,000 miles for $1505. Painless transaction, and I received the supporting documents last week. Thanks Toby!

I just did this over the Christmas holidays. I drove from Orange County, and stopped in Riverside off the 10 for an hour and half to charge up. Left there with 67 miles on the GOM, and drove up the hill at roughly 35 miles an hour. I made it to the vacation rental with about 18 miles on the GOM...

I'll hit 19,000 miles today, and we will have had it for a year at the end of this month. At this pace, I'll have to look into the extended warranty by next summer. We had a couple of check EV messages, though never in motion. The vehicle always recovered from them, and after the firmware...

Congratulations! Welcome to the club :)

3 left, down to $675!

I followed EDMC's advice and did this as well. I purchased the Scotchguard Film from Amazon and applied my stickers to that. I then cut around the stickers and shaped the film to match. After that, I placed the stickers with the film on the car. It worked like a charm. I don't know if it will...

Waiting for me when I got home from work! 1 day from check clearing. My wife will be stoked! Well, me too... :D

Mailed Oct 17th/18th. Checks cleared yesterday. Maybe another week until I see them based on others experience.

I just dropped my apps for both EV's in the mail this evening, so they won't leave the post office until tomorrow. I'll be testing your theory :)
