so that obd2 port is right down here so you can see
it right there you reach your head down hug it up
hey guys welcome back to the channel so today we're gonna be doing a quick little project on
my sienna I've been working on my sienna lately so I've got a jacked up the front bumper off in
the hood off and one of the things I wanted to do was to activate the security system I've got
a Sienna se so the SES and the le s and the Elle's don't have the security system enables
from the factory they have it all pre-wired and it's the option in text stream but they haven't
activated it because they don't have a hood latch and that's really the only thing missing the hood
latch hood pin so I'm gonna go install that today and I'll show you guys if you just want to buy the
hood latch pin you could buy it and install it or you could do a rig and wire up your own hood
pin and get it to work also I'll show you that now have a link out of description or the parts
and instructions on how to do that so stay tuned right here I've got a hood latch that I bought
on eBay you can buy these om or aftermarket on eBay I think that aftermarket ones only like 40
dollars on maybe 50 dollars I bought this used and maybe I might've paid 60 bucks for it used
so the reason why I bought it is because it comes with this this hood pin or this hood switch right
with the wire harness right down here that plugs into the harness re on the radiator support so if
you haven't a limited or an xle this is already an option on your car so there's not even an upgrade
that you already have it as part of your system and their security is enabled but for the SES
the le s and the elves this has not come standard and you can activate it in text stream if you're
actually in tech stream without this hood switch it's gonna buzz like your hoods open all the
time it comes annoying well it doesn't work so it thinks your hoods open because reading this
switch is open I'll actually have a link down in the description of you know the part number
for this switch and you can actually just install it on here it's held on by like two little screws
you can see one right there going through and I believe it might be actually it might be just that
one screw and yeah all it does is it triggers when the the hoods open or closed and then there's got
this wire harness on it I think that's which you to order but it doesn't come with a wire harness
you gonna make your own and then you'd have the hardwired to get it onto the car unless
you had this plug right so right here we have the radiator support and the radiator support
has this hood pin switch right here so the harness is here on the SES and the LDS and Elle's already
so you don't have to do anything but plug it in right so that's the easy part and then this guy's
helmet held on by three ten millimeters and then there's one behind this little cap here you got to
pop this plastic cap off and then you take that one out and then you unhook the you unhook your
cable put the new one on plug it up and that's it that's pretty simple straightforward uh so I'll
do that in a minute and you can see how simple it is to swap that out so you can see on here
it's got two little holes and that's one of them for the screw and one of those for the alignment
for that hood pin that fits behind there and then when I take these off I'll show you side by side
you can see these things are pretty much identical on both of them as far as the design and the build
of it I mean it's the same except for the switch I guess so you over here the one that has a switch
on is you got the the guide hole and then the screw hole and this one is just got two blanks
right there and then you look on the back side it's pretty much the same thing I think this only
difference is that little East six or L four or whatever that was on the middle bolt but that's
probably just some kind of date code that they use but yeah that one's got the switch on it
right there with the cable coming out and then that one right here he's got nothing behind it
so you have you get that switch or source that aftermarket switch which I don't even think is
after more than one I found or the one of the instructions I saw it's got this actually an
OEM switch but you swap it in there wire it up and then wire up to the car and you have
yourself a cheap switch I guess or cheap hood hood pin so there it is pretty simple install
three ten millimeter screws put that cap on plug in the harness and you're done don't forget to
hook that cable almost forgot to hook that cable before I start bolting things out so I'm going to
show you how to enable this in text stream right now I'll do a screen grab kind of walk you through
the options and so in the middle of quarantine 2020 so my wife's got her OCD germaphobe cardboard
floor mat when she goes out I don't understand it but she's taking her precautions I said that
obd2 port is right down here so you can see it right there if you reach your head down
the car's got footwell lights that i upgraded maybe one day i'll do a DIY video on how i did
these foot wells but they they really for this car it really makes a big difference do that footwell
lighting especially when i'm we're driving and trying to find stuff or opening doors so once we
connect up text stream we want to connect to the vehicle so you click on connect the vehicle up
here in the corner this process usually takes a while because has to connect to the car and
communications is not that great it's like an old serial communication protocol so I just go
ahead and skip forward off from here once it does this thing so we get to this screen where we have
to select what model we have and what options we have so for this car with is select others then
we select smart key and then okay after this and let it connect so we get to this menu screen and
we see all these yellow yellow means that text stream hasn't connected to the ECU yet so we'll
go over here and connect customize settings for what we're looking for so we get into the
settings menu and then we see all the options we're gonna do so the first thing we're gonna
go look at is up here at security so we'll click on security to get to that menu so we get into
this kitchen menu and you see that's warning by horn and then warning by the glass break sensor
which are the two options that we could select in here so we want to turn both of those on I'm
not sure what the glass break sensor is I guess it uses the Bluetooth mic maybe to detect glass
breaking but either way I just enable it whether we have the sensors or not so after we're done
with that we have to go over here to option setup this is where the security settings are so you go
into there once it brings up the menu you just hit on for the security system and then once you
click on you go down and just hit the forward arrow and then let it sit after we're done with
security we'll look at some of the other settings in here and the options that we could do we'll go
look at illuminated entry so in this menu you can set the various lighting modes once you you know
walk up to the car if you want the lights to come on and off and all that so you can see the menu
here and set you want you want to set so after illuminate entry we'll go look at light control
light control control various aspects like the sensors how bright how dark you want everything
set and then you know the time delay for it to turn off once you get out of the car it has also
got this DRL disabled button that you can do or the function and this one is on top of the what
you can do with your stock so if you have one of the non SES or London limits and you don't want
the high beam DRLs on you can use this setting to disable it all the time that way you can still
use your auto setting but you don't have to worry about the DRL so the next setting we're gonna look
at is the power door of controls so this one's got a bunch of different settings that you could
do you know so you could have it where it doesn't deep and it doesn't you know the buttons what the
buttons do how long the how you unlock them how you lock them and all those various options that
I've never really messed with there's a lot of stuff here that I don't really understand or I
don't really need to customize as much but at least the option is there and you can see all
the operations on here next menu we're gonna look at is the power windows menu this thing's got a
lot of different disable and enable buttons for all the different windows and the auto up auto
down and all that I've got it all on all on a on on mine it's nothing that I really want to
mess with so we'll go look at our lock options on this car so you could set it to lock with the heat
pushing twice you also said it for the parking locker or speed lock I have my set on speed lock
where it goes up up to 13 miles an hour it locks all the doors and then I have a set where it only
unlocks the door when I opened my door after I turn off the car instead of having it when it's
in park so next menu we're gonna look at is the warning sounds in this car so here you could set
the different sounds like the chiming when you forget your key in the car the seatbelt warning
the low battery warning and then the number of flashes when you have the lane changing on your
car we'll go into the air conditioner menu right now to see what options we have in here so in here
you can set this various temperature offsets the evaporator control which is on all on automatic
your fan auto off auto mode is on and then there's this one right here which is the outside air the
fresh air setting on my car I just have it off I want to be able to control that myself next menu
will look at the display menu the only option here is for the odometer a time that stays on
when you open the door so we're going there smart key settings right now so in here you could just
set the park wait time I'm not even sure what that is on that you can set your ignition area whether
if you wanted all the sensors in the car or just the front that way you got the keys up front you
can only start it up front or if you have the keys in the trunk you still start the car the
rest of this stuff is just door operations using a remote like how long you press the rear door for
if you want to press unlock all the doors with one press or two press and this last menu right here
is for the touch activation on each door so if you want to activate that or deactivate it so you can
unlock your door or lock your door I think you use this for locking the doors so I think that's all
you could really set in this menu so next we'll go ahead and look at the smart key system and
the smart key system at least on this car the one I have it lets you program your key fob or
new key fobs are you go in here and you go under utility and it brings up a menu where you can see
the different things you can do you can erase you can mess with the ECU you can register your keys
there's several ways to register it and then you could I guess yeah you're like I said you could
erase all your keys you could register new keys and all that and depends it I guess some of these
are options if you lose all your keys and you have to program in a certain way I'm not sure I've
never really messed with this and I don't want to mess with it in case I messed up my own car so I
just leave this as is right now so next we're gonna go mess with the TPMS so you go over here
to all ECU and then under tire pressure monitor you'll pull this menu up so once you go into this
menu you go through utility and it pulls up the list what you can do then you want to go to ID
registration if you want to program your TPMS the thing with Toyota cars is and text stream you have
to have all four or five of your codes with you and programming all at once you can't program just
one sensor at a time so you guys to make sure you write down all your codes before you excellently
erase them all I usually just print out the data list that has a list of all my sensors
on my car that way in case something happens I can always reprogram it back in so I'm gonna stop the
programming on that if I mess anything up so I'm gonna go up and pull up my data list and show you
my sensors here so you see all my sensors right here and they were all from the same batch to
that that all the serial numbers were about the same starting numbers right there so over here on
the side over here you're gonna see that I've got mine set the threshold when it starts warning when
you have a tire warning to fill up your pressure which is usually about 80% of your you know total
value that you set and then over here is what I'm reading right now everything is at about 33 psi
if you run about 38 so that means I gotta air up all four of my tires to 38 before I get a warning
soon and then down here you can see I've got the it shows the battery levels and it's odd that that
one sensor that shows everywhere else is showing you know it's not showing a battery level but the
other ones are even that spare tire one that's not even on my car over on the battery level
within that one that's not reading for some reason but home being is a problem it's probably just an
error because the car is not on I think I've shown the gist of text stream and its capabilities to
customize and do stuff yourself I think I'm gonna call it quits for this tutorial for now I think
I'm already like at 8 or 9 minutes on explaining dude thanks for watching all the way the end guys
and I hope you guys got some information from this video on you know setting up that security system
for your sienna and all that text stream stuff I showed you guys on the screens and the menus and
all the options for this car and what you need to do to connect to it and make any adjustments you
need to and do all the customization to this car and you know program keys and whatever
it was that I was showing you in those menus I hope you found that useful and if you like the
video just remember to like it and subscribe to your channel if you want me to to watch up
my other stuff all I do on the Sienna and I do on the Lexus and you know stuff I do around the
house technology stuff and car stuff so anyways I hope to see you guys next time on the next video
you
