Battery Voltage Meter Gauge

Where is the battery voltage meter gauge located on the dash in a 2018 Toyota 4 Runner?

 

I don’t believe there is one

 

Thanks!

 

I added this

 

This:

 

I don't get it. Is the voltmeter taking thhe place of one of the slots for heated seats? Or, does the T9 show voltage. If so, please tell me where to go to see the voltage. I have a T9 as well.

 

I have a limited so my seated heat controls are on the HVAC. The two slots on the shifter console are normally blank.

 

More info please

 

I used this voltmeter and covered the slot with tinted polycarbonate to give a finished factory look:

I’ve used the SoldKit and love it. Subtle in the factory switch slot.

I have 2 options. The USB charger has one and the Scanguage also has it.

 

I got a Carista OBDII dongle and used it to customize my door dings, interior lights, and other features. Then used an iPhone app (Car Scanner ELM OBDII) to interface with it to display various 4Runner sensors.
Battery voltage is one of them.

 

Can you explain more of what Carista can do regarding lights and door dings

 

Carista displays all the Toyota diagnostics for troubleshooting like other interfaces and apps. But the great thing is you can also customize a lot of features without going to the dealer and pay $$ for it. With a purchase of the interface dongle (about $30 on Amazon or their website) you get a free month to do your tweaks. After that you can get a subscription to make more changes.

Here’s a list of customizations from their website.

What does this mean exactly?
Rear hatch window will close on its own when locking the car? or by pressing once on the trunk button (rather than holding it)?

 

This was my "two birds with one stone" solution:

That’s a good question. I did not alter that setting from default. I can’t test it now since I let my subscription expire after getting my configuration the way I like it. But I believe it refers to button presses, like how the other windows operate. And maybe by the window up/down key operation in the hatch.

 

I think it may be the second thing you said. I used the Caritsta app to reprogram a few things and having the rear hatch glass close in concert with the windows and sunroof from the driver's doorlock is one thing I really wish my 4Runner would do.

As it stands, I can close all the windows by inserting the key in the driver's doorlock but I have to raise the rear glass by pressing and holding the up arrow.

Has anyone been able to have the rear hatch glass move in concert with the windows/sunroof?

 

The auto on/off feature is when you either press the button all the way up or down once where it will close or open the window the entire way. If you turn that feature off you have to hold the button up or down the entire time until the window is up or down depending what you want to do.

 

are you talking about the button by the center console or the buttons outside on the trunk?
Assuming that you're talking about the buttons on the trunk, by default it is turned off then as i have to hold it to close/open the window. I would rather just press once to open/close. Do you have that feature on?

 

I am talking about the button on the center console. You can turn the option on & off where you can just press it once to open & close.
