TCH owners - help please ?
Hi all. :)
Hey, I just got my new '07 TCH and LOVE IT ! I'll be searching the threads here for tips and hints but I did have a question for you "seasoned" owners ;) I have seen where many of you talk of "hacks" or program thingys either you yourself or the dealer has done. Could you folks help me out with what ALL you've done and what impact/effect it has done for you (and your TCH TOO!)? :lightbulb I'd like to get the most of my new TOY and your info would be greatly appreciated. :shade: P.S. I bought a HCH back in March (TCH wasn't out then) and after driving it for the past 10 months I have to say: big mistake. The car ran fine but felt like a little "tin" car driving around. I had a Lexus LS400 and my new TCH is sooooo close to matching the options and comfort, along with the driving experience. I guess you could say I came to my senses (no offense to any HCH owners - just that this TCH drives, feels, and looks like a real car ;) ). Anyway - thanks all! :) |
Re: TCH owners - help please ?
Well, since you've already owned a hybrid, I assume you don't need any driving tips. If you need to change the doors that unlock when you grab the door handle, it is in the manual, somewhere around page 200-and-something. That's it for me. I'm a big help, eh? :)

Brian,
I have only had mine for 2 weeks and been reading in here a week or two longer than that. If anything comes to mind that you are curious about, do the search and if it doesn't come right up for you, just ask. Most of the people in here are nice and helpful. Welcome aboard! Larry |
Re: TCH owners - help please ?
The best "hack" I've seen is the creation of "hybrid" of versions 5.1 and 6.1 of the navigation DVDs. This mod allows for 5.1's override feature along with the updated maps of version 6.1. You need to have both versions of the DVD and a double layer DVD burner.

Re: TCH owners - help please ?
Thanks SPAM! I assume that the "override" you mention is the ability to select maps/program while driving (I hope )? MY HCH would allow me to change/modify while driving - although not the most safest - still allowed for changes in guidance during driving while NOT having to pull off a busy & crowded freeway.

Re: TCH owners - help please ?
I agree Pete. As for the "hybrid" NAV DVD.... anyone know where/how to locate it? I have the 6.1 in the deck but don't know where an easy find would be for the 5.1 (nor how to morph the two to make one workableDVD). :confused:
Thanks |
Re: TCH owners - help please ?
Go back to " ? For Navigation Owners". there a rew posters there that have both versions 5.1 and 6.1.
maybe one of them will copy the 5.1 disk for you. |
Re: TCH owners - help please ?
Cool - thanks for the info. I'll look for it.
I guess (if) after I get it i'd need to figure out how to get "both" installed to take advantage of the patch. Ah... but first things first. Thanks! |
Re: TCH owners - help please ?
MEERKAT,
If I'm successful in getting a 5.1 disc I'll let you know. |
