Things your Tundra does that you didn't know

2012 Crewmax Limited - In the front middle console. On the left is the shifter. In the middle is a long plastic strip that can be removed and stored in the armrest compartment. On the right are cupholders.

If you remove the long plastic strip, you can then grab the cupholders and also remove them by pulling upwards. Viola - large square space for stuff!

 

Welcome from NY.

 

On those models with a sunroof and Crew Max (back window rolls down), you can open the sunroof about 2 inches and open the back window about 2 inches and a fart will clear out of the cab in seconds; YMMV.

 

Mods: sticky????

 

Thanks!

 

YF(latulance)MV - updated that bro!

 

But then the wife wouldn't get a chance to enjoy it.

 

Tundra - Dutch Oven edition.

 

I have More Things my Tundra doesn't do that I did know it should.

 

If it's sticky, it wasn't a fart.

 

What about things your truck does that it shouldn't do?

 

Better hope you don't have to slow down all of a sudden

 

Remember the old days when the cigarette lighter outlet worked no matter what? I miss those days lol

 

So do pen gauges for tire pressure

 

The Tundra is the only vehicle I know of that doesn’t have at least one always hot 12v outlet

 

I don't know of any vehicle where I haven't had to turn the key to on to get power to the 12V outlets...

 

My wife's 2015 Chevy Equinox has an 12V outlet in the back luggage area that is always on. I thought that was about the dumbest thing I had ever heard of...unless one uses an Equinox for tailgate parties...

 

Wow I have a 10 Chrysler, 18 Ford van, both have always on 12v outlets and I’ve checked various other vehicles just because it really bothers me that I can’t change my phone or pad without my truck being on

 

My 2015 sierra didn't either. The newer vehicles seem to do away with that. My 84 c10 however

 

All those equinox overlanding trips lol

 

In my 2020, I can pause the radio, then start it again in case someone wants to talk when there's something on the radio I don't want to miss. I just figured out the button for it.

 

Heres the pen gauge, it fits

 

Sirius XM only. The feature that restarts the current song when you switch to a station is nice too but not enough for me to shell out for it.

 

My parents' 1993 Mazda MPV
1998 Honda Civic
2012 Kia Forte
2013 Corolla
2020 Tundra

Not one of them have I been able to run something off the 12V with the key off. Can't remember if I ever tried it with my parents' 2003 Matrix or 2009 Suzuki Grand Vitara but I assume they're the same.

 

Hmmm. . . I don't have Sirius - cancelled it after free trial was up. And I used this yesterday playing with it. It worked for a pause of about 90 seconds on an AM station. I'll have to dig into the manual or other documentation to see how long it can be paused.

 

What button is it? I have a 2019, Sirius subscriber, but don't recall a pause feature on the headunit for Sirius, but will check on my ride home after work today. I hope I have it. Right now I just yell for people to "Shut up, there's a good song on".

I pay about $5.50/mth, plus fees, about $6.80 total. It's worth it for me as I can't stand our local radio...it's all AC/DC, Aerosmith and a bunch of other overplayed crap.

 

On my 2020, it is a button on the steering wheel, left side, under the radio/volume controls. It says Mode, Hold to Pause, or something to that effect. When I hold it for a couple of seconds, the radio pauses. Then when I hold it for another couple of seconds, the radio starts up again, resuming the song/sentence right where it was paused. I'll try it on FM this afternoon on the way home.

 

Hmm, you could be right. I thought the pause button was greyed out on mine when listening to FM but I don't tend to stare at the screen while driving.

 

I filled a bunch of thumb drives with music and I switch back and forth between those and the radio. When I'm listening to music via USB, the pause button is at the bottom in the centre but I don't recall where it is when listening to the radio.

 

I don't see it on my 2019.

The control on the wheel is MODE and hold for MUTE. When I mute it on FM or XM, it doesn't pause the.playback. The Play/Pause on the head unit that controls the CD, works as a MUTE as well, but doesn't pause.

Oh well, it was worth a shot.
