    Late reply, but welcome to the forum. 240k miles? As a buddy of mine said, "Oh, that's just breaking a Toyota in."

    Weird sound coming from behind the dashboard

    It almost sounds like some kind of relay that is going bad. Is there anything on the car that doesn't work/work correctly?

    2016, 40K miles

    Give it time. I've had tint on all my cars (it gets hot in Georgia summers) and when I drive a rental or someone else's car without tint it feels weird to me. You'll eventually get used to it!

    Squeaky Dash - How to tighten?

    2014 Corolla, 6 spd manual, north of 80k miles. For the past year or more I've had a rather annoying "squeaky" kind of rattling noise that comes from somewhere in the center of the dash panel. I notice it when driving at slower speeds (20 - 40mph). If the road is smooth or at highway speed or...

    First time Corolla owner with various new problems

    I'm having issues when the car is running. Not trying to open/close the sunroof on battery power alone (which I would agree would be a problem if the batt was bad).

    First time Corolla owner with various new problems

    It’s been a while since I have been on the forums. But I came back looking for info on a sunroof problem. I’ve got a very similar problem as described above. Anyone have any tips on how to get to the switches and clean them? Is that the likely problem?

    Power wire off the battery thru the firewall

    Warranty: Nope, no effect. Lots of posts and discussions around here about that one (short version: it's a myth that modifications to your car will void the warranty). Hooking up an external power wire, properly fused, is not going to affect anything. Mobile in motion: you raise an...

    Power wire off the battery thru the firewall

    Bam! Thanks Smitty. That worked. Got it connected a few days ago. Step 1: Grab a wire coat hanger, a flashlight, and a beer; also a pair of pliers and electrical tape (but that goes without saying). Step 2: Pull the passenger seat all the way back, let it all the way down. Sit...

    Power wire off the battery thru the firewall

    As soon as I get power run off the battery, I'll do that. I had it set up in my old Corolla that, sadly, it died last year in a crash :( Right now I'm running off a power adapter (aka: cigarette lighter)....yeah, I know, not good for ham radios.

    Layered Window Tint

    I was actually considering some of the static-cling, easy to peel off darker tint that I could leave on in the summer, and take off in the winter. Pros: easy, cheap, quick to remove if I have to. Cons: may look like crap.

    Power wire off the battery thru the firewall

    I'll have to tinker around when it's light out and see what I can figure out.

    Power wire off the battery thru the firewall

    I finally got around to installing my 2 meter Yaesu ham radio in my 2014 Corolla. Anyone have any tips, posts, videos, or other advice on running power off the battery thru the firewall? Best place to do it? I certainly don't want to drill anything if I don't have it.
