Thanks to all that gave me the tip jiggle the steering wheel when this message appears. After I confirmed, I went back and re-read the overly verbose manual and realized I had mis-understood this message totally.

I thought it meant "LTA assistant unavailable soon..." because bZ can't make out the lanes ahead. Which is where I was confused because the lanes ahead were very clear.

Now I realize what it's really saying to me is "LTA assistant unavailable soon..." because bZ can't feel your hands on the steering wheel, give it a jiggle.

So I just got the new Emporia Pro charger finally istalled. It is a GREAT charger. However, my Toyota App is refusing the show charging SOC while charging and therefore is not showing the charge session in the Charge History section of the app.

To be fair, there was already app problems before I installed the Emporia Pro and using the Toyota L1 Charger.

Right before install, it would show the status of charging during the L1 charging session, but it would not update the SOC until charging was completed. Prior to this problem, it would show SOC but required 3-6 refreshes before the current SOC of charging would show. But at least the session showed up in the app's Charge History.

During the install, I tested one charge with the Emporia Pro and that session did show in the Charge History, but couldn't get an SOC update until after session completed.

Now, it doesn't even show the status of charging during a charge with the L2 Emporia Pro (I'm using a 6A/1.5kwh rate of charge, so maybe that's it? As I type this, I realize I haven't tried higher than 6a yet and the one session that did record was at 40a/9kwh to test the max speed of the charger). So no Charge history for these 6a charges and no charging state/SOC during charge.

Anyone else seen these issues?

Thanks in advance again for this subreddit's collective wisdom.

I've been having some intermittent problems with Adaptive Cruise Control. Sorry I don't have pictures since, well, I'm driving when these issues occur.

1. "Lane tracing assistant unavailable soon. Take control of steering wheel" message and audio alert comes up on driver screen. This happens when I'm on a fairly flat freeway, clear visibility, no cars around me, and VERY CLEARLY MARKD lanes with dashed lines on relatively new and flat road. Also, my hands ARE on the steering wheel. Sometimes the message goes away on it's own, but sometimes I have to press the return/escape button on the left cluster of the steering wheel. If I don't do that when the alert persists, it will self cancel cruise control.
2. "Driver no operation hold steering wheel" alert/message. This is related to #1 and comes on following sometimes if I don't press the escape/return button. I am holding the steering wheel everywhere for it to try and sense me but it sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Again, the return/escape button cancels this out... until the next time it happens.

To be clear, this doesn't happen every time I drive. But in a week's worth of driving, it will happen every other or third time I drive with adaptive cruise control on the highway.

I'm keeping a punch list for things to address when I go in for my first service that aren't urgent (only at 3K miles now so 2K more to go before first service). I thought I would share as a PSA and to see if others have seen this issue and what they may have done to improve it.

Got my SF Bay Area bZ end of March, so was manufactured Feb or earlier? Still haven't gotten the recall notice and not in Toyota or NHSTA recall site despite other posts saying that bZ's made before April were affected.

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

UPDATE: Thanks to all the feedback. I got a change to put into action the consensus suggestion and sure enough, when the "Lane tracing..." message/alert comes up, I just wiggle the wheel left to right a little and the message/alert goes away! I have an XLE FWD small battery base model so I guess no capacitive touch steering wheel so needs motion. I guess the Limited trip can really just touch the wheel. However, this still doesn't STOP the message from coming up when there is PLENTY of clearly marked LANES for the cameras to lock onto. It just randomly decides, even on a long straight stretch with no upcoming turns that it has lost track of the lanes.... My next test is to turn LTA off and see if I end up with no warnings/alerts. Thanks again for all who weighed in. Your typing is much appreciated.

Hi all, anyone have any good experience with an installer experienced with Emporia Pro/Vue 3 installation? I've had a comedy of mishaps trying to get mine installed and would like to know of installers in the San Francisco Bay Area that can get me up and running quickly.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The one from Toyota that fits it just an envelope, doesn't cover the whole rear. It's kind of dumb there are only the 2 mounting hooks near the hatch door but no hooks near the rear seats to mount the 4 corners of a cargo net.

I live in San Francisco Bay area and my SOC on Apple Maps on iPhone and in CarPlay never worked. SOC was always like over 10 days old. Today it was spot on! Also was updating the % on arrival in real time matching with what was showing on my speedometer. Has anything changed is anyone else seeing this? SOC was stuck before and was getting the "Apple Maps EV not updating" message from CarPlay after a few minutes of driving. Today, no such message and SOC was updating.
