iller,
Do you use a Laptop with the cable and do you need to pay a subscription to the Toyota techstream software?
Any advice really appreciated on this, as I would love to get it set-up to be able to read codes and change the dealer customisable features (Automatic light sensitivity etc).

They did say the regeneration process has 3 levels of urgency. The first being what I am experiencing. The next being the dash letting you know that it needs to re-generate, the last being limp mode. Apparently the solution is to drive 65kmh for 20-30mins.
As I live in a small country town, my driving is either a couple of minutes putting around, working reasonably hard offroad in river sand or highway driving at 110 - most of the time with a tradesman trailer. I think it could be that with such low gearing on the 6sp MT and that I have larger tyres, it is not revving enough on the highway.
It is around 1600rpm at 110 and only reaches 2000rpm at 140kmh, crazy.

I live in London, so mostly stop-start traffic, but would be going on weekly motorway runs to a mall and adding regular DPF cleaner fluid to the fuel. . I really want one, but am worried about DPF problems. Do you think I can realistically run this vehicle in a city? I would very much appreciate your thoughts.

Hi mate, I know its a very old post, but did you sort it out ? Mine does the same ( 2014/d4d/manual/200k), idlle up to 900rpm, and I am not sure if it s a regen or not. If I take her for a highway drive after 20min, idlles up normally back to 750rpm. but this wonder dont last more than 150km.

Sounds like a DPF regen to me, mines the same but around every 200 miles using Shell V-Power
