    Of course you do. Why would Toyota making a replacement battery to change out in production make it not street legal?

    Nonono. You can swap infotainment 4 for infotainment 5 for example, OEM as well. Nothing minor about that, even comes with trim plates. I don’t know what point you thought you were making with a very real OEM replacement on existing vehicles. If anything it reinforces my point that it’s entirely possible.

      Because an infotainment system isn’t considered safety critical…

      Once they pass safety tests for this new battery, which will take many years, there might be an option for an after market modification, but as the other engineer in this thread tried to tell you, it’s kind of unlikely

        Uhh the infotainment system that is paired and works with the safety systems isn’t safety critical…? What…?

        The engineer that missed my original point, but now agrees that it’s possible?

        Again, not after market at all… OEM factory compliant replacement. If you want to argue a point, make sure you are atleast not confusing and conflating things.

        Just admit that it’s possible, yeah it’s unlikely, but the fact they already allow 12v sealed acid with other battery types should be a enough evidence for the average person it’s possible. You can argue a million different avenues that make it not possible. But how does that change we already do it……?
