i would just think it would be better to leave an important safety feature intact

Clockwork

A beeping sound is an important safety feature? On what planet?

I'm not disabling the brake.

Critical reading skills. Develop them.

Thanks, I was thinking it would be something simple like that. Right now I'm stuck on simply getting to the brake assembly without causing any damage to that drink holder area.

Go to RedlineGoods.com and look up the instructions for the '11 tC e-brake boot. It'll walk you through getting the whole center console apart.

this car literally is just clipped together man. do what mightyp said, look that up, but its easy!

I know your not disabling the brake, just the soundto let you know the brake is on so you don't try to drive with it and possibly result in mechanical failure posing a risk to you and anyone around you. But that's fine, I don't know you so I won't be at risk.

Critical THINKING skills. Develop those.

critical typing skills should be developed as well....

hehe sorry just wanted to get in on the fun

eignub

Lol, fixed. Not very good typing on my phone.

If the brake is on then I put it there for a reason. Driving with the brake on... what kind of savages do you know? ;)

Critical social skills. Develop those. lol

For everyone in this thread with a bad attitude: You are exactly the reason that people told me that Scions are for whiney Asian kids that want to "rice out" underpowered cars when I purchased one. Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution. If you don't have anything constructive to say then press on.

I'm not experienced when it comes to doing things with my car other than driving. I wouldn't think of doing something like this on my primary vehicle, so I'm probably just making this process out to be more difficult than I need to make it.

^ All sorts of questions spring to mind with that revelation!

Anyway, it's quite true. The tC is a car made of legos. Snap in and snap out. This has got to be the easiest car to work on I've seen. At least for a car built in the last 30 years.

So, that said, what is your primary car? What do you use your tC for? Is this your first Scion? What kind of driving experience do you have?

One bit of info I discovered is how many tC owners are all about show with no go.

Anyway, welcome to the forum. Generally a good community here with helpful people. The people getting into it in this thread, including you, are new to the tC2 area of ScionLife, so don't take this as the norm.

My primary is a M3 Sedan. I've always been a big fan of Toyota products and this tC is my first Scion, I got it as a project car not knowing that it would be the first of the 2nd Generation tC models, so now I get the dubious pleasure of waiting for all the aftermarket parts to be released for it. ;)

Actually I was gonna get an old Supra but it was a lot easier to just go to a dealership and pick up a tC than hunt down a decent Supra on Craigslist or something.

Edit: PM sent concerning driving experience.

KidJustin

instead of waiting for aftermarket parts...

go contact companies and tell them they can guinea pig ur car...free stuff!

that's what i'm doing...have to milk it while the car is still new

Clockwork

Guinea pig it, eh... doesn't sound like a bad idea but if they slap some kind of turbo on it and cause my engine to spontaneously combust that'll void the warranty. In hindsight, maybe a less expensive Supra would have been a better idea, but I do like the tC.

Clockwork

Actually my only real regret in buying a Scion tC is that I didn't wait until 2012 and instead buy a Scion FR-S. I've been following that one since before it was announced as a Scion model and it looks sexy.
