How often do they recommend that?
Hmmm that's debatable , I'd say once every 5 -10 years . But it really depends on were you live and drive to . I live in Vancouver B.C. and the city is constantly growing and expanding new roads being made, new highway exits and entrances , new intersections new buildings and address. so those stuff wont be showing up on my navi thus forth I would need to update more often, as my map is a 2017 version

How ever if you live in a rural area and nothing changes or rarely deos then wouldn't need to uodate often.



More factory navi updates are usual 200 bucks and up I believe, however some dealers may give discounts etc...
On a bonus side your phone goes and map update for free so use that when your OEM navi is outdated
Sorry for the long stink hope it answers your qeustions

I am going to be getting a used Tacoma in the near future, I am looking at a few now one that is a good deal with all the options I want has one problem. It has the orange trim on the interior on the dash. The question is, can I easily (key word here) change the color of the trim?

You can also order it from toyota pricey but you can order
 
Few questions...

1. ) Is there a way to have the vehicle doors auto lock upon walking away from the vehicle (smart key)?
2. ) The maintenance shit in the fancy head unit... none of mine is updated as to when I should be getting service done, is that shit I have to put in?
3. ) How does one get sponsors to help them build a truck with discounted prices on parts? :)

1 in you head unit you can set auto lock after Xx seconds after engine off
2 as far as I'm aware you have to manually input the schedules
3 some company's request vehicles as test trucks while making parts then you will receive a discount, most companies would probably require you to have huge followings on social media and require many photos and updates and usage reports out up to spread the word , many forums have group buys and vendor discounts as well . Some how bring fame to you and your truck to also get noticed by vendors
 
I swapped it from 60 to 30 seconds last night, walked away from the vehicle and after 30 seconds, nothing... no door lock sound, no beep like normal. :unsure:
That setting is if you hit the button to unlock and don't open a door, it will re-lock itself after 30 or 60 seconds.

I dont think it will arm or auto lock in that sense if it's still "sensing " the fob especially since they have a "courtesy light feature "
 
Last night I was putting some stuff back in my truck and has some rope I wanted to throw in one of the bed cubbies and I noticed there wasnt the large cubby on the passenger side of the bed. It was dark, and I looked super quick but I swear it wasnt there. Should it be there? I swear every picture I have seen has one on both sides.

The longbed has one on both sides and the shortbed only has one on the passenger side. But you have a longbed, don’t you?

I do have the Long bed.

I meant I don't have one on the drivers side. There is the small one next to the 110V outlet but nothing on the other side.
