2017 Subaru Outback. Scotty, do you know how to turn off the GPS Starlink so it doesnt send info to track the driver everywhere they go? Also any idea why there is vehicle vibrations in the pedal, floor, steering wheel, seat, door armrest? It causes pain and numbness in the driving leg and left arm, never a smooth or comfortable drive since purchase yr ago. Not the tires. No answers after 2 diagnosis attempts.
A friend bought a stick shift for his daughter when she left for college. He did this to keep her friends from borrowing her car. It worked! 100% of the kids did not know how to drive it! Smart guy. Also, a great anti-theft device.
Scotty, I took care of the OBD port in a definitive manner: I took its fuse off. Since I may have to use the port only once every two or three years, I will put the fuse back in when needed. Good luck to the thief who wants to fuss into the fuse boxes.
Good morning, I just last week put a new hybrid battery in my 2014 Prius that I bought from the Toyota dealership in Clearwater Florida, the cost was $2600 for the battery and they wanted $800 to install it. There is a three year warranty on the battery….however it’s only a one year warranty if you choose to install it yourself….. which only took a little over an hour to do . With some help from a friend. Thanks Scotty, your videos are amazing you remind me of a good friend who was a retired mechanic that lived in my neighborhood and helped out many of the neighbors with their cars . I helped him and in so doing learned a lot about cars from him. Great guy .
Where I live, most car thefts happen because people leave their cars unlocked. I've seen people leave their cars running at gas stations or grocery stores and just run inside.
coolest one I ever saw was a friends Chevy Luv pickup in high school. He didnt even have a key as the ignition was broke, so his dad just put in a switch. There was a crack in the dash next to the stereo. Push on the crack and it started.
Back in the day, I lived in a red hot area for car theft. They even traced the kill switch wiring back from the ignition barrel on my 16V Golf GTi and it ended up being ram raided through a post office window. I eventually resorted to removing the rotor arm then replacing the distributor cap every time I parked future cars in a dodgy areas.
I was gonna say, pull the fuel pump relay, then Scotty said it! I had a friend with a 65 mustang and he used to take the rotor out of the distributor to stop it from getting stolen 😂
Not always a good solution. Pump or starter relay can usually be switched with another relay in the box. Older cars yes, removing distributor rotor is helpful. An ignition coil wire not so much as another lead can be pulled and put in its place... even though the engine would run on one less cylinder.
I live in Duluth, Minnesota. That salt is on your car for months at a time. Rinsing the bottom of your car can be a real mess because everything freezes as soon as you leave the carwash or a heated garage. I almost never wash my vehicles in the winter because the doors tend to freeze shut unless you are very diligent about opening and closing them while the water is in the process of freezing. I haven't noticed much difference between the appearance of rust on my vehicles and the people who wash their cars often during the winter. The salt gets back on the vehicle so fast that it barely matters.
I remember as a kid my father installed a kill switch on the side of his 1979 Chevy 4X4 fender. It was a cam tubular keyed lock switch - he ran it in between the ignition and batt - he would turn it on or off instead of the toggle switch under the dash or in the glove. We lived in Gary at the time.
I'm looking on getting my first car (used car). For. the longest time I have been looking at Honda Accords but recently I have been looking at Kia K5s (preferably 2022). I have done my own research but I still feel a little nervous about them. Are the truly reliable cars? Do they have any recalls that I am not aware of? Are they worth buying is my overall question. They have great perks but safety, reliability, and comfort is my biggest concern. Besides these 2 cars are there any other reliable make and models you would recommend for used cars.
When you pick a car you want list 5 possible repair items/ categories that may fail. Get the price for each and decide whether you can afford it or not.
1) Create a dead short via a kill switch to blow a critical fuse. Just remember to flip it before you crank and carry extra fuses in case you forget. 2) Kill switch to disconnect power/ground at obd 2 connector...their tool won't communicate.
I bought a car wash membership and started washing my car more frequently to try to combat the salt and I feel like the rust accelerated. I stopped washing it frequently again and it seems to have slowed down. That water was just trapped in the rocker panels and never dried out so it sat there and rusted
I have a 2010 prius with 75,000 miles, the hybrid battery is fine, still gets 45+mpg on the highway. New prius costs about $30,000 after taxes, if it costs $7000 for a new hybrid battery when the time comes, that's like pocketing $23,000. Not sure why you would get a new car at that point.
re: Kill switches -- Buy a switch for a factory option your car doesn't have, or a factory switch which fits a blank location. Use THAT as your kill switch. No one will ever find it. I used to do it with many of my previous cars.
Best tip; own a 1998 Mercury Villager. Nobody wants to steal that, LOL, even though she is my sweet baby! Not stylish, not nimble, turning radius is RIDICULOUS, and she locks/unlocks doors on a whim. Normal-size adults can't really comfortably fit in the seats, too!
Part of the trouble with the Tesla FSD as well is that I believe Tesla removed any IR sensors, so it's only relying on what a camera can see, but there isn't any depth information.
Hockey goalie??? Now I understand how you approach projects and in your assessments of car - car makers, parts, tools, and testing equipment. You are always skeptical that they are going to screw up (i played goal also).
Installing a kill switch will void your warranty if you have one. I worked for a dealership and aftermarket electronics are one of the most common way people void their warranties.
Scotty with all the electronics in a car nowadays it is problematic to switch off the battery because everything will need to be reset.I use a large rotary switch on the battery of my 2005 Celica because the car drains all the power when not in use for long ,but i have just to reset the clock .I don't mind the radio's shitty programs
I had an S500 Mercedes that I used to loosen the cam shaft position sensor if I was parking it outside for an extended period of time. No chance it starts with the keys or not without that in place. It would only take a few seconds to do that on that engine.
Also they use furniture pump bags to separate the door from the frame at the top so the can slide a rod in and flip the unlock button. I disabled my unlock button by putting a piece of plastic between the contacts.
In the 70s I had a foolproof method for my Mustang the 302 ford had the distributor in the front of the engine the cap held on with clips after parking I would pop the cap and pull the rotor ( no screws) and replace the cap and lock the hood
My wife's new Camry 24 not 25, new one is just a big prius😂 I turn off the stupid lane assist crap it annoys me but its probably the last of the long haul Camry's in my opinion
I own a 2013 Hyundai Elantra drive it all day everyday for my job doing deliveries minimum 100 miles a day and I currently have 405732 miles I have only had one problem and that was the alternator went out I change my oil every 5000 and she’s running great as ever
i hate to ask, especially if ya already done so, but could you make a small vid that explains that backwall drop? why each piece was chosen for it? if you already have i apologize, but I've always wondered why ya chose each piece as the backdrop..
I had the local Toyota dealership replace the fuel pump in my 2016 5.6L 4X4 Tundra last October, when I got it back, it cuts out as it shifts sometimes at 40, 45 & 50 mph, but it doesn’t do it every day, I put it in the dealership to fix and they aren’t able to duplicate the problem? It does it on cooler days, sometimes, what to do?
I installed a push button starter switch in the left wall of the glove box on my 76 hi- lux toyota small sized truck back in the 8o's.turn key to "start " position, just past "accessory " position and then push the chrome button in glove and the truck started .
My daddy was a truck driver (long haul), he put a kill switch in every truck he bought, because it was his. But if it was a company truck he never bothered. I have is dodge warlock, it has a kill switch, they only made a few of it back in the day! Its perfect.
I mean a used traction battery for a older Prius is usually 4- $500 and most of the time it's only three or four cells that go out sometimes just one and you can replace just one... People will tell you you can't but you sure can....i've done it multiple times and have seen 30 -40k more miles put on the car with no issues... after that I don't know I assume the cars are still going... But those are really good cars I like them... I still have two of them ...One is a parts car that's wrecked the other has a bad engine because they didn't check the oil.... when they get high miles they will use oil ...that's just all there is to that...
15:22 you are right it isn't Full Self Driving. but that isn’t the entire name, either. it is currently “Full Self Driving (Supervised)”. And you do have to supervise it. If you want to not have to be involved in the driving, then get a chauffeur, or wait another year or two for Tesla to drop the qualifier and assume limited liability. If you have the means, are enthusiastic about the product, want to be part of the process of bringing the technology to maturity and want to have a small voice into what sort of driving you wish the fully functional product to exhibit, then spending a Benjamin each month for a not quite FSD nearly autonomous driver is the ticket.
15k extra for driving something that doesn't really work is just stupid. Not to mention that fact that nobody knows how to fix it, but save the planet musketeers
@@frankd.brennan6520 15k? No, currently 8k, or subscribe for 100 per month. Many spend more for less entertainment and purpose, but if you wouldn’t enjoy it I’d not recommend it.
@@Outback69 Teslas come with a pretty good Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Autopilot (Beta) that is pretty good at just keeping the car in its lane. Simple and easy to use, you still must supervise it but much less stress than either driving without it or stepping up to FSD. Autopilot helped me drive straight back from Tucson to Bessemer, AL, last February. About 33 hours including naps in the car. Without autopilot and TACC the trip would have taken a lot more work on my part and taken longer.
You must not drive in the snow and real weather. There will NEVER be self driving in serious snow. No lines, no nothing for reference. NEVER gonna happen.
Scotty I don't know if you can answer this or anyone else either would be fine for that matter... I have a GREAT running 2007 Mazda 3 coupe that I love driving, but two days ago the factory weather stripping on just my front drivers side window gave way and I want to replace otherwise I will need to keep the window rolled up ( yes thus was a bare bones 3 with NO power windows or locks for $9k new in 06! ) and that's not fun in the summer heat. Any suggestions on where I can buy this? My other 3 windows are still like new because I never use them. This Japanese built 3 is a great runner I want to sort this small problem out because the car is in wonderful shape otherwise and I don't fancy spending $26k on a new one with excessive insurance until I absolutely have to one day. A neighbor mechanic will even put the new strip in for FREE if I can just get my hands on the pieces.
Myb09 Camry hybrid has 414000 km and it's got the original hybrid battery..i looked at live data in the hybrid system and the ohms in my battery are at. 002 ohms on all cells...and the voltage is between 16.2 volts and 16.7
The railroads are transporting full auto car carriers back and forth from rail yards because the car's are not being picked up by dealers because the lots are overflowing with vehicles
I'm a fan of The Club. On your steering wheel. (lock) wheels turned all the way in one direction.👍 Prevents theft. Thieves say why even bother? To complicated!😂
Hey, I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla LE. For some reason when I’m driving the rpm would drop & pick right back up. Whether I’m cruising or going 60/70. Can you tell me why is that happening
I heard that in modern cars, thieves are now able to access ODB2 by simply pulling out a headlight and accessing a data port that goes to the headlight. They don't need to break into the car.
This is only for certain car make & model. NOT all cars. You don't need to get inside the car nor pop the hood. Just break out the front left headlight assembly.
@@mrgarrison3516 It's true. Knowing how to drive a stick/manual is a dying art. At all of my jobs, hardly any drivers know how, so we just switched to all auto. When I was in jail, some dude told me he & his friend beat up another guy from road rage, took his car, found it was a manual, so they left it & took off.
Oh Yea Scottie 1985 Cutlass Dennis Artino put in the Cadillac kill switch ran through the cigarette lighter. you had to push in the lighter to start the car . He sends me down to Hern Olds in Bedford and buy a factory lighter ....Scottie the car would not start with a factory lighter. I had the these sillly Valet Guys running in Cleveland say " Hey we can't start your car " I told them push in the lighter
Scotty ---please do a short for Woman only!!! Show the basics - how often to change oil, how much of each fluid do you use to fill and how often ex. transmission fluids, coolants, break fluids etc. Tire pressures etc. Girls want to keep up their car maintance too 😅❤❤❤❤
Get the BRZ!!! Subaru customer service is better, you can order it the way you want it, no dealer mark up, (as per Subaru policy) and they know how to service them better. Toyota or Subaru, It's still a Subaru.
14:50 ish: back in ‘08 i spent about a year in Minnesota. people kept their expensive cars off the road in the winter, not only protecting them from the salt but from the inevitable accidents. during salty and high risk times most drove a beater car. it was only in the late spring that the lambos, bmw's, and such would sneak back onto the roads and restaurant parking lots.
Ha scotty you can buy car keys online now that auto turnes it's self fully smat chiped and you use the same key from old remote I bought 2 of these 5 years ago and used them on at least 10 different car's

Saying that it's an "anti-theft device" is a very very bold claim.
@@mrgarrison3516🤔
That's weird, I thought that's what all the girls did in college.....ride stick 🤷
Maybe I am from a different Ilk, first time I drive an auto was about 15 years after I started driving . All my cars were manual .
Scotty, I took care of the OBD port in a definitive manner: I took its fuse off. Since I may have to use the port only once every two or three years, I will put the fuse back in when needed. Good luck to the thief who wants to fuss into the fuse boxes.
How to keep the salt off your car if you live in Rhode Island:
1 start your car
2 drive to Florida
3 return in May
Drive to Arizona, Florida is full.
I found a great way also: Work from home during the winter. Get out only when the roads are clear. No spot of rust appeared on my car ever since.
Don't park near the ocean! The salt air will rust your vehicle quite rapidly!
@@deepcowPlease.
@@deepcow Still plenty of free space in Afghanistan. No salt. Welcome!
Mad props for Scottie the Goalie. Thank you Mr. Kilmer

note to self carry extra automotive fuses when stealing vehicles in the future.🤣🤣🤣
Stick shift. Problem solved😂
And Jail...
That's what I have
I also have a car alarm security system that totally shuts down the car besides having a stick shift.
@@stevenkaskus6173 Me too.
Cheaper too.
I bought a Club for my '21 Camaro, the visual of that thing is a good preventative.
Humour is priceless. Thanks Scotty.❤🤓🙏🏻
If anyone wants full-self-driving, take an uber or taxi.
😂😂😂
You can also have a conversation with your car
I have two kill switches in my car. The first one is easy to find, and is connected to nothing. The second one is real, and is well-hidden.
😂nice
coolest one I ever saw was a friends Chevy Luv pickup in high school. He didnt even have a key as the ignition was broke, so his dad just put in a switch. There was a crack in the dash next to the stereo. Push on the crack and it started.
That’s so cool
Live in UK your videos are always informative and enjoyable 😀
I second the guy who said use Uber or taxi for self driving.
Ha - I love your honesty Scotty - answering questions about your cats and tooth just as honestly as about cars.
Keep that smile shining Scotty! Thanks for Sharing.
I have the ultimate anti-theft device: a manual transmission.
Don't understand. Car thieves can't drive manual car?
Amazing that a car thief can steal a car & not know how to change gears 😮
These car thieves only know how to steal Kia’s car and no father to teach them driving manual
@@DarkPa1adinmost people don’t know how but some do
Scotty had his tooth knocked out! I didn't think it was possible but now I love him more.
I had a fuel pump kill switch in my 86 Buick GN
Why?😂😂

They even traced the kill switch wiring back from the ignition barrel on my 16V Golf GTi and it ended up being ram raided through a post office window.

it gives you character without a tooth - that is cool you played hockey - I wrestled in high school.
Wrestling was cool. I never saw the weight room though, in school.
I was gonna say, pull the fuel pump relay, then Scotty said it! I had a friend with a 65 mustang and he used to take the rotor out of the distributor to stop it from getting stolen 😂
Haha, I would do the same on my 90s Civic, that or the coil ignition wire.
Not always a good solution. Pump or starter relay can usually be switched with another relay in the box. Older cars yes, removing distributor rotor is helpful. An ignition coil wire not so much as another lead can be pulled and put in its place... even though the engine would run on one less cylinder.
@@soundsolutions yes but is a thief gonna sit there and think "why don't I have fuel? Maybe I should check the relay."
A physical spring loaded toggle kill switch under the dash has kept my vehicles safe from theft.
I knew a very scary guy in Liverpool 40 years. He had a lovely car, even he needed a cut out switch on his car
Is that what I think you mean?
Your carry keeps theft away also.
Not anymore you just told them were to find it ??😮😅🙈🤭

All it matters it can take you where you need to get to and a bad as stereo system
Manual transmission: also known as a Millennial/Gen Z automotive anti-theft device.
Part of the trouble with the Tesla FSD as well is that I believe Tesla removed any IR sensors, so it's only relying on what a camera can see, but there isn't any depth information.

will turning on and off your kill switch often damage the cars computer?
There are easy ways to shut off your car's key signal when you leave your car. Check your manuals.
But now they can remove the headlights apparently connect up there with wiring that unlocks car ?
I believe I read an article where the ceo of Hyundai said you pronounce it like Sunday. It drives me nuts everytime Scotty utters the word lol
Also they use furniture pump bags to separate the door from the frame at the top so the can slide a rod in and flip the unlock button. I disabled my unlock button by putting a piece of plastic between the contacts.

Dont use red wire for your immobilizer switch.
Wires are harder to hide than switches believe it or not.
Back in '96 i put a inline kill switch, just before my fuel pump relay.. located under the drivers side, under the carpet... 🎉
A friend of mine bought a hybrid battery for his 2012 Prius for $500. three years warranty. Not that bad.
Scotty, on a Toyota hybrid system, if the battery dies for the electric motor/s, will the vehicle work with just the I.C.E.?
great advice! thanks
Can you put the killer switch on any energy for the kill on personal generator ebike etc.😅

Since Scotty saved the puck, he would be the first to say the loss of a tooth was worth it
If they program the a new fob key then when u put the kill switch on then your fob key won’t work correct???
In HS kids with 80’s cars used multiple kill switches before they worked.

I mean a used traction battery for a older Prius is usually 4- $500 and most of the time it's only three or four cells that go out sometimes just one and you can replace just one... People will tell you you can't but you sure can....i've done it multiple times and have seen 30 -40k more miles put on the car with no issues... after that I don't know I assume the cars are still going... But those are really good cars I like them... I still have two of them ...One is a parts car that's wrecked the other has a bad engine because they didn't check the oil.... when they get high miles they will use oil ...that's just all there is to that...
15:22 you are right it isn't Full Self Driving. but that isn’t the entire name, either. it is currently “Full Self Driving (Supervised)”. And you do have to supervise it. If you want to not have to be involved in the driving, then get a chauffeur, or wait another year or two for Tesla to drop the qualifier and assume limited liability. If you have the means, are enthusiastic about the product, want to be part of the process of bringing the technology to maturity and want to have a small voice into what sort of driving you wish the fully functional product to exhibit, then spending a Benjamin each month for a not quite FSD nearly autonomous driver is the ticket.
Glorified cruise control lmfao. Remember cruise control kids??
15k extra for driving something that doesn't really work is just stupid. Not to mention that fact that nobody knows how to fix it, but save the planet musketeers
@@frankd.brennan6520 15k? No, currently 8k, or subscribe for 100 per month. Many spend more for less entertainment and purpose, but if you wouldn’t enjoy it I’d not recommend it.
@@Outback69 Teslas come with a pretty good Traffic Aware Cruise Control and Autopilot (Beta) that is pretty good at just keeping the car in its lane. Simple and easy to use, you still must supervise it but much less stress than either driving without it or stepping up to FSD. Autopilot helped me drive straight back from Tucson to Bessemer, AL, last February. About 33 hours including naps in the car. Without autopilot and TACC the trip would have taken a lot more work on my part and taken longer.
You must not drive in the snow and real weather. There will NEVER be self driving in serious snow. No lines, no nothing for reference. NEVER gonna happen.
I love this type of video Scotty ❤ thanks so much
What about a detachable Obd port? Just take it with you.
Scotty I don't know if you can answer this or anyone else either would be fine for that matter... I have a GREAT running 2007 Mazda 3 coupe that I love driving, but two days ago the factory weather stripping on just my front drivers side window gave way and I want to replace otherwise I will need to keep the window rolled up ( yes thus was a bare bones 3 with NO power windows or locks for $9k new in 06! ) and that's not fun in the summer heat. Any suggestions on where I can buy this? My other 3 windows are still like new because I never use them. This Japanese built 3 is a great runner I want to sort this small problem out because the car is in wonderful shape otherwise and I don't fancy spending $26k on a new one with excessive insurance until I absolutely have to one day. A neighbor mechanic will even put the new strip in for FREE if I can just get my hands on the pieces.
Did you check the original spare parts catalog for the part you need?
Myb09 Camry hybrid has 414000 km and it's got the original hybrid battery..i looked at live data in the hybrid system and the ohms in my battery are at. 002 ohms on all cells...and the voltage is between 16.2 volts and 16.7
The railroads are transporting full auto car carriers back and forth from rail yards because the car's are not being picked up by dealers because the lots are overflowing with vehicles
I'm a fan of The Club. On your steering wheel. (lock) wheels turned all the way in one direction.👍 Prevents theft. Thieves say why even bother? To complicated!😂
Hey, I have a 2001 Toyota Corolla LE.
For some reason when I’m driving the rpm would drop & pick right back up. Whether I’m cruising or going 60/70. Can you tell me why is that happening
In my 84 Volvo it was faulty wiring insulation causing a momentary short circuit. Check for broken insulation on wires attached to the engine.
I heard that in modern cars, thieves are now able to access ODB2 by simply pulling out a headlight and accessing a data port that goes to the headlight. They don't need to break into the car.
You have to get in the car to pop the hood.
So that’s why you had to remove the entire front facade just to change a headlight.
This is only for certain car make & model. NOT all cars. You don't need to get inside the car nor pop the hood. Just break out the front left headlight assembly.
I heard car Thieves can't drive stick .....very strange I think 🤔
@@mrgarrison3516 It's true. Knowing how to drive a stick/manual is a dying art. At all of my jobs, hardly any drivers know how, so we just switched to all auto. When I was in jail, some dude told me he & his friend beat up another guy from road rage, took his car, found it was a manual, so they left it & took off.
Are the Icarsoft obd scanners any good ?
8:50 - in the cold, id expect your trashla battery range is extremely reduced. ICE doesn’t do that
Most of my cars have the youth anti theft system; manual transmission! Folks go nuts seeing a manual '14 Fusion
Oh Yea Scottie 1985 Cutlass Dennis Artino put in the Cadillac kill switch ran through the cigarette lighter. you had to push in the lighter to start the car . He sends me down to Hern Olds in Bedford and buy a factory lighter ....Scottie the car would not start with a factory lighter. I had the these sillly Valet Guys running in Cleveland say " Hey we can't start your car " I told them push in the lighter
10,000 mile Kia EV6 GT 2024 in UK about £36k. Massive depreciation 😢
I lost same tooth, yea looks awesome 😅
Hi from hull UK
What’s better a turbo charger or super charger on an inline 6?
Both have pros and cons , what in line six are we talking about, an old school non computer car or a modern one with computer engine management ?
Old school L24-L28 Datun with dual or triple setup. Have not decide on carbs.
Oh and thank you for the response!
SCOTTY, why did you leave Houston??? Bryan in El Paso
Scotty ---please do a short for Woman only!!! Show the basics - how often to change oil, how much of each fluid do you use to fill and how often ex. transmission fluids, coolants, break fluids etc. Tire pressures etc. Girls want to keep up their car maintance too 😅❤❤❤❤
Everybody sing along 🎵 Scotty doesn't know 🎵
Prius hybrid battery cost 2k at the dealership if you return old one
That is way better than the massive cost of a huge massively expensive full EV battery.
@0:54 - but a lot of newer cars are now coming out with keyless door entry. Meaning there is no place to put a key in the door to lock/unlock.
There is still a key in case if dead battery on most GM cars anyway. It slides out of the key fob.
Which ones specifically? All brands?
I had a friend who modified his manual shifter to operate like it was broken unless you knew how to use it.
I had a FIAT that worked like that right out of the factory. The shift was basically guesswork at first....
I had an old sh*t box that had a fu**ked manual transmission....so if they were so desperate enough to steal my car, they deserve to keep it🤔
scotty the metaltooth😂
Get the BRZ!!! Subaru customer service is better, you can order it the way you want it, no dealer mark up, (as per Subaru policy) and they know how to service them better. Toyota or Subaru, It's still a Subaru.
For Old Vehicles, Could Remove Distributor Wire.
I have a key to unlock my 2013 mini. Just like my 2013 tdi did. The alarm goes off if I use the key instead of the fob.
Your metal key only unlocks the door, it won't turn off the car security system.
Teşekkürler
14:50 ish: back in ‘08 i spent about a year in Minnesota. people kept their expensive cars off the road in the winter, not only protecting them from the salt but from the inevitable accidents. during salty and high risk times most drove a beater car. it was only in the late spring that the lambos, bmw's, and such would sneak back onto the roads and restaurant parking lots.
Ha scotty you can buy car keys online now that auto turnes it's self fully smat chiped and you use the same key from old remote I bought 2 of these 5 years ago and used them on at least 10 different car's
