Anyone had a chance to remove the silver plastic pieces on the steering wheel that have the cut-outs for audio controls? I was thinking of painting the silver center piece to the steering wheel, but not to sure how to get it off.

 

Ask superpickel. He painted those pieces.

 

Thanks, I sent him a quick PM.

 

when and if you find out let me know ive pm ed him 2 or 3 times over the past 2 months with no response so let me know how its done thanks

 

i think i know. havent tried it yet though.

1. disconnect battery
2. disconnect bolts on back of steering wheel
3. disconnect air bag sensor

and i think you will be able to get to those pieces.

 

this is how you do it on a tc1 not tc2 there are no bolt (that i could locate) on the back of steering wheel

 

o wow.l i just found that out.. well ill look tonight or tomorrow. to see how.

 

all i can think of is that you either have to take apart the steering column cover or you have to yank the horn off somehow ive found no bolts screws clips from looking around

 

maybe from poppin that cap off you can get inside and unhook air bag. once you got that then try pulling it off?

 

so i took apart the steering column and it didnt do anything. i know the back of the sterring wheel just pops out but you only have maybe a couple inches if you stretch it out to play with. only way i see this going.. is just pulling from the front.

 

Maybe some leverage with a flat head wrapped in some masking tape so u dont scratch anything. Be careful.

 

i tryed pulling the horn with no luck has anyone got a reply for superpickle its bugging the s*** outta me and i just want it done

 

if you havent figured it out yet check out my how to https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=207350

 

I just bought a 2012 tc 7.0, and the steering wheel controls do not light up. Is something wrong with mine? I can't find the right buttons at night.
Help!!!!

 

They dont light up

 

I thought the tc1s were lit up.
I need lighting.
Maybe someone will do a DIY on it.

 

The point of steeringwheel buttons is so you dont take your eyes off teh road...

 

How to press steering wheel buttons without removing eyes from road

Please not i do take all responsibility for all smart assedness in this post but dumb question especially in multiple threads deserves a good dumb answer

1. place left hand on steering wheel in area as shown below



2. for volume down press the button closest to left hand and floor as shown below



3. for volume up press the button closest to left hand and towards the top of the center piece of the steering wheel as shown below



4. for previous song press the button furthest from left hand and floor as shown below



5. for next song press the button closest to left hand and towards the top of the center piece of the steering wheel as shown below



6. for menu press the button farthest from left hand this will be a single small round button (if you have feeling in left hand)



and just for a quick practice try and memorize the location of these buttons

 

u need to mention the super cool and super smart futuristic design feature known as the "dip and bump" that help u know which one is up and which one is down

.....also, either u are wearing short shorts....or u sit bottomless in your tC2

 

LOL!!
