Connected Services and Toyota Selling Your Telemetry

Yes; it reduced accidents and fatalities. When the contract expired, accidents and fatalities in those intersections skyrocketed. The city counsel had no choice, we bought and maintain our own systems now.

 

@lohikaarme , I don't know if you saw my question earlier, but do you have ALL the wires removed from the DCM? I'm curious why your compass works and mine doesn't. Thanks.,

 

Thanks much. I'd ask to see what you get as far as lat/lon/date/time , etc, with the five swipe thing, but it's a big ask.

 

Going to try "diagnostic mode", posted by @KMO . Probably is just for infotainment.

Quote:
Haven't tried it, but procedure from the EU service manuals is:
---

1. Ensure that the vehicle is stopped.
2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
3. Turn off the audio of the radio and display receiver assembly.
4. Turn off the screen from the settings screen.
5. Perform the "Flick from left to right" operation five times on the multi-display shown in the figure. [Figure just shows a long swipe]
   1. Tip: Performing flick operations may cause messages, etc. to appear on the screen, but disregard these and continue performing the flick operations.
6. Flick the multi-display 5 times from right to left as shown in the illustration.
   1. Tip: Make sure to complete the operation within 15 seconds of performing the initial flick from left to right.
7. When diagnosis starts, the service menu screen is displayed.

Tip: If diagnosis does not start due to a failed operation, turn the display on then off and perform the procedure from the start. (Only turning the audio of the radio and display receiver assembly from off to on is not a valid method)

 

@lohikaarme , you didn't remove the dcm fuse, did you (I did not).

 

I disconnected the 12v terminal for 15 minutes. Lost date and time settings. I'll turn off my phone and go for a drive later. I can see it getting the time (and no date) and no location from Sirius/XM.

 

I typed that while you posted.

 

I don't think so. I'll keep that screen up and see what I see. Before and after turning the phone (and CarPlay) on.
edit: It's interesting that your compass is still correct. There might be hope yet for me.

 

I never signed up and the day I picked up the car press SOS and talked to a nice lady who deleted the connection. She said.

 

But you're not using the built in navigation. At least not anymore, lol.
The overlords had me driving in a circle yesterday at a school parking lot.

 

My compass rotates, just doesn't point in the right direction.
Some kind of initialization must be required, for me.
