I wonder if there is an equally in-depth info for the ~~2004~~ 2024 4Runner. Have someone else who’s totally nontechnical who wants this done.
The 2004 4Runner never had any sort of modem, and only the Limited models had GPS - but that's purely a receiver for navigation and doesn't actually transmit anything.
This level of connectivity is a relatively recent thing.
Sorry, slip of the finger while distracted. I meant the 2024 4Runner.
Edit: jeez, my fingers are potatoes today.
I'd imagine the system in a '24 4Runner is very similar to that of the '24 RAV4.
If we start at the shift selector as per the article, it is radically different. It’s a solid stick, it has no boot.
