FJ Cruisers of Northern California

Button Diagram?

Can anyone post a picture or diagram of what all the buttons are supposed to be in a 2008 FJ?

Currently I only have the parking sensor and rear diff lock, getting the atrac for Christmas but seeing what else is available to me!

Not totally up to speed on how all the functions work together, but to my knowledge, VSC automatically activates after ~ 10 mph and the button is for turning it off when in 4H/4L and using ATRAC and/or Rear Diff Lock. Regardless of the VSC off switch, it will only disengage at low speeds, why you can't do donuts. There is a way to "hack" the VSC to stay turned off in 2H - the Blue Room has a write-up how to.

Ah. It was bizarre to me. A freind wanted to show me how to handle a slide, so he tells me to crank the wheel and put the petal to the floor. I do said thing... and literally nothing happen. We go mape 2mph in a small circle. He thinks I am not gassing it and tells me "to the floor!" He looks and realizes it is on the floor. We guessed it was the vsc or something in the computer that just prevented it .

Strange to have a car not allow me to gas it....

I miss burnouts too, haha. There is a method to override VSC, check out the blue room an do a search on VSC hack. Not sure if it works on all model years though.

Happy to have a '13 with ATRAC, crawl, diff lock all overhead. Leaves room for the radio install and overhead lights.

Also I wish I had the USB/AUX port, mine is only Aux.. usb would be so much more useful.

Blue Sea makes a nice dual USB socket, works great!

Unfortunately, I don't. Had so much going on, forgot to take pics of the install. I got it off Amazon

About 1 1/2" long and with lock nut (underneath) makes it about 1 3/8" wide. Pretty tight fit where I put it. http://assets.bluesea.com/files/resources/dimensioned_drawing/Socke...

Nestor did all the wiring, tapped into the stock USB/Aux power so it shuts off when key out.
