How to access picanto backup camera (help!!)

Hi!

I have a 2020 picanto which, when I go into reverse, isn't turning the camera on.

Sensors and light work fine.

All fuses are fine and tested

Battery is fine

So the only other thing is to replace the camera- but I can't find instructions anywhere on how to access it through the boot! Please help!!

A Salesman Told a New Prius Owner That Changing His 0W-16 at 5,000 Miles Would Void the Warranty

This is a solid breakdown for anyone doing their own oil changes or trying to understand what a dealer can and cannot claim about warranty coverage.

Sensors on New Wheels Not Working Properly

Hello. I went to a tire shop recently to buy new wheels. I drive an Acura RDX 2023. After I started driving with my new wheels, my tire pressure sensors were not able to read my tire pressure on any of the tires. I went back to the shop to reset the TPMS and that didn’t work. Then, they asked me to go back and they reset them again. The problem came up again. When I called, they asked me to bring in my old wheels so that they can scan the IDs on the older sensors on the stock wheels and clone them to the new sensors. Not sure how that works. After driving for 20-30 minutes since then, the TPMS is still not working. As you can imagine, I am very frustrated. I called the tire shop today and they said to come back in when I can but I’m not really sure what they’re going to do differently this time. I don’t think the shop is using OEM sensors so I’m thinking the sensors are low quality. What is the best thing to do now? How are they going to fix it? Am I better off calling the dealership and see if they can do something? I appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you!

Replacing TPMS sensors

The TPMS sensor batteries in my Subaru forester 2019 needs to be replaced. Of course they made it so that you’ll have to change all four sensors instead of just the watch battery that it entails. It cost around $1000 to get it done at my dealership. I know you can get aftermarket TPS sensor installed and calibrated for Subaru Forrester. Is it possible to to procure the TPS sensor from the same OEM that Subaru uses and get it installed elsewhere?

Taking off dash trim

Does anyone know how to get this silver trim off? I got the other trim off and painted it black. I’m tired of being blinded every time the sun hits it and the trim kits to order are so bulky.
