How to update the radio firmware of a 2014 Toyota 4Runner

Model: Toyota 4runner N280 - Years 2010-2024

Updating the firmware of a 2014 Toyota 4 Runner is a simple operation that takes a few minutes. What we need is: a good internet connection, a 2 gigabyte USB drive, and a little patience. The first thing to do is to connect to the "Audio Software Updates - Toyota" website, the official website released by Toyota for downloading updates, and enter the model, year, and type of radio you have, whether it has a satellite navigation system or not. After entering the car's specifications on the website, as shown in the video, we can download the file containing the radio update, and once it's finished, we can transfer the file to the USB drive. The next step is to turn on our car, insert the USB drive, and using the screen, go to settings - general settings, scroll to Software Update, and when asked "Download the new update?", press Yes. After the update is completed, all that's left is to remove the USB drive, turn off and turn on the car to complete the update. To verify that the radio update has been installed correctly, we just need to go to settings - general settings - software update and click on software update history, so we can check the date of the last update.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
