    USB Random Playing

    Using a 64gb myself, yes it takes a bit longer to scan but what you describe speak more of a defective key than the system.

    USB Random Playing

    On start back up, the system is limited to just the last song that was playing until its inventory of the flash drive is completed. Use a longer song as this last one (so it has time to make inventory before it ended). Or simply keep selecting a song.

    LE ECO valvomatic reliability?

    Yes... Though it's possible with many models, it all goes with the way one drives (conditions, habits). Since I have the car, I average 39.5 mpg (hand calculated). As I said in my case it's easily 50+ on highway (record 60 in a 2 hrs ride, perfect condition). Speed limit being 60 where I live...

    LE ECO valvomatic reliability?

    Have one since October 2013 (65K). There was a service campaign for a firmware update of the Valvematic, like for the CVT. Never encounter a problem, most trouble free car I've ever owned. Theorically, the EPA rating difference is 2 mpg for the base LE Eco (less, if it's a LE Eco plus or...

    High RPM’s while using Cruise Control

    If it occurs on incline, it's engine braking. If not, there might be a problem.

    2017 Corolla Belt Squeaking noise CVT

    No more than the inevitable odd unit of any car component. At least not many transpired through forums and statistics (TrueDelta, Consumer Reports). And the Aisin-Toyota K313 in our Corollas have been around for quite a time (5 years in NA but 8 years worldwide). Firmware may vary according to...

    2017 Corolla Belt Squeaking noise CVT

    Yes, the decelerating whistling noise (aka as “flying saucer” or “jet engine” effect :p ) is normal for CVTs. A squealing/whistling noise at normal operation temperature, granted it’s new, not something that was always there but got suddenly noticed (cars sound different with the reverberating...

    2017 Corolla: Replacing the radio?

    Once the radio removed check the exact model numbers on the label then do a google search. Scrapyards. Audio store (there might be alternative other than what came with the car but still able to maintain functions.

    2017 Corolla: Replacing the radio?

    It depends on what variant of the car you have... Let's just say that the one with apps has a button labeled "apps" under the audio button on the left, the regular one having a "setup" labeled button instead. Check this video of someone going from regular to apps/nav. It might help you identify...

    2017 Corolla: Does your right leg fall asleep?

    ^^ This is good advice. I find that on its lower position the seat is too flat for me but raising it also tilt it conveniently. And still no problem with head space at 6'1". Good luck with that. The seat appearing assymetrical is not an invisible defect at time of buying. If it's a specific...

    2017 Corolla: Replacing the radio?

    If it's the regular one (without apps and navigation), yes. If it's the one with apps and navigation (with Entune on your phone), it has to be associate with the VIN number of the car for the link between Entune app on the phone and the radio to work properly but I have no idea how it's done.

    2017 Corolla: Replacing the radio?

    The old joke of changing car because the ashtray is full… Radio is easy to replace but not cheap (see eBay). Opening the dash anyway, check before buying: it might just be some loose fixation or not the radio at all! Rattles are tricky. Plus why bother, your car is under warranty.

    2017 Corolla: Does your right leg fall asleep?

    Seat comfort is highly subjective and personal. If your seat is defective, use your warranty. If not then it’s a lesson learned in what to check when test driving a car before buying it. Meanwhile, there is no lack of more or less orthopedic cushions on the market.

    Battery Problems with a New Corolla

    There is no saying how long a specific battery will last, but it’s generally between 2 to 6 years. Quality, environment, type of usage (numerous short stop and go or not), incidents with forgotten accessories, charging system itself etc. all make a difference. So 30 months is on the short side...

    I need an advice

    This is just an aggregator site. They diffuse adds from other vendors either to generate traffic or, who knows, scam people (there don't seem to be a valid source to the add you're referring to). So at best it's a tool to consult adds, which you can google locally anyway.

    Small Flash Drive for 2020 Corolla music?

    Yes. I use a 32GB Cruzer FIT ( https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Low-Profile-Drive-SDCZ33-032G-B35/dp/B00812F7O8 ). So small it's hard to manipulate (but I leave it in the car). More important than the key is that your music is converted in a format working with the car (see your manual).

    Auto shut off. 2020 Toyota

    Apparently every year some people forget to “push-button” the car off. With inside home garages it means carbon monoxide poisoning, including some deaths. Not sure why a push button is harder to remember than a key when exiting a car (plus the sound of the engine) but apparently it is. The...

    Compact spare in 2020 Corolla Hybrid?

    Not sure why Toyota's US site say that but the Canadian site does mention temporary spare tire and I've seen a few US reviews showing it. Plus the new TNGA platform is the same whether hybrid or not with space for the battery under the seat (left empty in non hybrid cars) so the trunk...
