Hi Alan, Kudos to you for digging into this so deep. When the 12 v bat is reconnected after being disconnected it takes a finite time for the...
At least on my cars - 2004, 2005, 2008 if you remove the red plastic part (be careful but it can be done without breaking it) under that on the...
The max draw on the 12V bat is pretty low - it only really powers up the various computers and relays. The highest current flow is almost...

Get Techstream and a mini VCI cable from eBay. Works on a laptop.

I buy Prius wheels from junkyards (rim plus tire) - often with a tire which looks ok. I buy the cheapest possible tires new from Walmart dot com....

These are very reasonable expectations and I'd be shocked if your did not successfully get to 20 yrs and 60k. Be aware of things you notice, but...
