Great video! I was getting pretty annoyed too at this problem. Yes, first world problems but also the car isn’t cheap so I’m very surprised they did that. Thanks for the fix!

@EVDude 2 года назад

Thanks for watching. I totally agree, some people mention as im complaining for these little things but seriously, this irritated me and annoyed me everytime I wanted to use it without lights.

Hello , I just bought rav4. 4x4 premium with panorama , I will make the same change … thank you for your post

Really appreciate your video's dude. I leased the 2023 RAV 4 Prime SE which I'm sure you are aware doesn't have allot of these features. These are simple things that I wish Toyota would make standard however, it's great to know that it can be easily upgraded thanks to your DIY video's. Keep up the good work!!! 👍👍👍

@davidgapp1457 3 года назад

Cool mod for not very much money. Well worth doing as fumbling for these switches in the dark is annoying. I've also added a dimmer mirror/homelink setup from a Lexus (purchased second hand off ebay) and will soon be tackling installation of the Toyota tow hitch and electrical setup! For Arizona, which is insanely hot, I've bought an iRoad X10 camera setup and will be using your video as a guide. Many, many thanks for sharing your experiences and the work entailed in doing so.

@EVDude 3 года назад

Thanks for watching 😁 Seems like you're busy with your mods 😄 The XSE in Canada comes with the homelink/autodimming mirror, so got lucky with that. I don't know the iRoadX10, but as long as it has capacitors instead of a battery, it's a good choice for the weather.

@davidgapp1457 3 года назад

@@EVDude Unfortunately the markup for the XSE was $10,000 whereas the markup for the SE was only $5,000, so I bought the SE. The only feature I miss is the seat memory. The X10 was primarily chosen for its demonstrated resistance to heat, but I do wish it had cloud features. Maybe a later model :)

@EVDude 3 года назад

@@davidgapp1457 It really hits me that dealers in the US are allowed to have markups on these vehicles. It's actually illegal here in Québec, Canada. I've seen crazy markups reported in the RAV4 Prime Facebook group. It's crazy!!

@davidgapp1457 3 года назад

@@EVDude It should be illegal here too! However Toyota could, if they chose, clamp down on dealerships charging mark-ups. They don't, so as far as I'm concerned Toyota is complicit. Toyota is not selling the Rav4 Prime in Arizona so I had to fly over to San Francisco, pay cash and drive home to Arizona. The tax credit here is $7,500 which helps of course.

What about illumination for the dome light buttons near the sunglass holder. That’s the WORST can never see what button I’m pushing and there are a few up there :(

Can you replace and add lights in the overhead so you see the buttons overhead?

@petegalindez9961 3 года назад

Great vid! Might get for my RAV4 Prime…Understatement of the year, “Toyota cheated out.” That’s their middle name…I owned a Toyota back in 1986 (my first car - Corolla 5speed). Since then, owned 25 cars before my Prime, none of them Toyotas, and my last 5 were 2 BMWs, a Porsche, and Audi, and a TESLA. I see why Toyotas are considered reliable…there are no frills…infotainment is a decade behind (thank God for Apple CarPlay), the app blows…no way to see if your car is charging, the state of charge, when it’s finished, or how many Kw it took in…the FOB is about a decade behind (e.g., can’t roll down or up windows). In other words, very few things to develop bugs or break. And I’m fine with that, but just stating facts.

This is a great video. Do any of the XSE optional factory equipment choices include a lighted window switch? Was this feature added in 2022?

It does not unfortunately. But if you'll be getting the 2022 model, they've adjusted this part to be lit now.

Hello, how do the actual buttons feel compared to the original? The original feels more smooth but do these new one have a more tactile clicky feel?

I installed them yesterday so haven't had much time to try them. For the few times I did try, I didn't feel any difference from the OEM one. Will get back to you in a few days if that changes. Thanks for watching 😉

Seriously wrong of Toyota cutting corners to save a few $. and endangering the lives of women or really anyone getting into car at night and needing to lock door fast and unable to find door lock.
