| Posted: 6/25/08 7:07AM Post subject: Anyone install an overhead console themselves |
|
|
Bought an overhead console on ebay. Looks good. A few issues:
1) No installation instructions included.
2) Headliner cutout template looks to be for xB or something other
3) A decorative insert is needed as, I assume, a different part number
Anyone been through this before?
TIA,
Ray |

Yes - it had the Toyota logos all over the box.
It is just like this one:

Did your Japanese instructions at least have some pictures?
Did it come with the rectangular insert (white thing shown in the picture above)?
Thanks!!

Mine is different. It looks like this one on the outside:
And it looks like this inside:
But it only has the double-tray door seen close up - there is not another one up by the dash like this xB console. |

Looks like you could just screw in a second tray if you wanted to (and could find one!).
What's *REALLY* missing is the "add your favorite photo" window. Now that's a real bummer! LOL :silly: :silly: |

I don't know if it is an "american" version or not. It came from a Toyota dealer in the US and had Japanese Toyota words stuff all over it. |

With nothing more to it than that, I don't see me hacking up my interior :no:
Doesn't seem of much use? |
