  • First Post, an introduction and thanks

    Hi
    Just want to say what an amazing forum.

    Yesterday I joined the Prado family with a 2005, TZ, Jap import.

    Before the purchase I used it sort; fuel consumption and reliability

    Already I have used it to sort out; Type Pressures, Rear windows not working, what is the 2 strt button for and if I have ODB2 or something else.

    I am struggling to find answers to; my Cruise control will not set about 115K - is this correct or does it need adjustment? And what replacement Stereo works and with the factory fitted reversing Camera and Air Conditioning? Any pointers to articles much appreciated

    As a bit of history
    1988/89. I had spent 2 years pulling to pieces and putting back together series 3 and 110 landrovers. I went to the car show at Auckland show ground and saw my first landcruiser in that mustard yellow.

    I fell in love. Landrovers had become more refined. That first landcruiser looked like it had been beaten out of a block of manliness, barbed wire and permanence.

    I still remember Crumpy in what I think was the first hilux add saying "there is on other way in here" as the landcruiser came into shot.

    As Tim Allen would say. "Grunt grunt grunt grunt"

    so after 25 years, I have arrived!

    2nd Start button is used in icey or slippery conditions - transmission will take off in 2nd gear.

    You should have OBD2 - this is a diagnostic socket and I am sure that even in YOUR Prado it will be located under the plastic trim beneath and to the side of the steering column. If you Google OBD2 socket you will see some images of the shape of this socket/plug so that you know what you're looking for. Toyota use it to plug in their Techstream diagnostic module to see if the vehicle's computer has any error/fault codes stored relating to the operation of your vehicle's systems.

    As far as your stereo goes, I'd be trolling fleaBay for 'Prado DVD Stereo' and matching it up from there. Most of the aftermarket Stereo/DVD/GPS units now have rear camera capability.
    Not sure about the operation of your Cruise Control.
