Yes, to both.

We now have a wrecked one in the shop to repair, and also the techstream. The left framerail is on backorder from Toyota. more video to come.

Thanks for posting!

I think that's a vvt control valve not the cam sensor, and you're going to need techstream for a scantool after 07/08MY.

You asked if we plan to perform Camry plug in conversions...I personally dont think so as the prius lends itself so well for this with the smaller engine.

we are working toward an Escape phev kit however.

Did I hear correctly;when you stopped at mcdonalds you left the car(motor)on?If thats correct,why?

Yes I left the car powered up. The gasoline engine was off, but the electronics were on the the 20 minutes. I did this because when the car is first powered up, it goes through a warm up routine that uses a lot of gas. Since the car was already warmed up, it is a waste of gas to go through warm up. So I leave the car "on" that is the electronics powered up for short periods rather then "restart" the car.
