Took a short drive into the forest today. Mostly paved, but still good.

Decided to change the location for CarPlay USB.

Removed the lighter outlet and installed a 2 USB port module, so 1 is connected to Beatsonic unit for CarPlay and the other port is connected to a 12VDC to 5VDC 3A converter using the existing power cable from the light outlet.

Look much cleaner than the one I installed first.

One day I'm going to take mine apart to do this. I completely missed it when I installed GROM last year.

Installed 2nd row power; 2xUSB outlet. Tapped onto the front 12v outlet using the guide provided by GX460 bob and info on this forum. The outlet I used, includes a voltmeter.

What tool do you use to reprogram your TPMS when you change your tires?

I used Techstream. You should be able to self-program on your '21 without it though.

I'm hoping, dealer said they need to do it but they also said Enform works in Canada which it doesn't.

Thanks, yes I read that but was not sure if that was to "re-sync" the existing tires or for change over to another set of tires. Guess I will find out next spring.

I have assumed "Registering ID Codes" would be any new set of sensors introduced to vehicle. It doesn't appear '20+ stores any old sets so when I say "new" just whatever sensors are not currently programmed to vehicle.

Reached 150K miles. Washed and quick paint sealant, vacuumed and interior wipe down. Then got new tires(Bridgestone Alenza AL Plus) and did a string alignment. I reduced LF caster and added RF caster then set toe. Now the GX no longer pulls to the right.
