Hi, all. Does anyone know how to remove the facia panel surrounding the factory stereo unit in a KX-R Kluger. I dont want to start pulling at it and break it. Im sure someone out there has had experience with this on their Kluger when repllacing their stereo. Also if anyone has any pictures could they please share.

cheers Dazz.

I haven't removed myself, but when we had our overhead monitor installed professionally they had to remove the front fascia and they slightly damaged it where they pried open the dash and must've also slipped while doing so and scratched the front of the fascia. All this when the car was 2 days old!!

They have since agreed to repair the damage.

Be careful....

Don't use a metal implement, such as a screw driver, as this will leave marks. I removed the facia below the a/c controls by just pulling hard with my fingers. Just need a little faith that you won't break anything. When prying was required I just used an old plastic ruler that I'd rounded the edges on so as to not damage the trim. Strong fingers seemed to work the best though.

Hey,

First part is to carefully remove the top air vents which surround the trip computer/camera display. This section pulls out with moderate force, starting by prying from the top. There are no screws just clips which hold in place. You can use a blunt object to assist with prying the vent from the top, but care must be taken not to scratch.

Next you need to remove the bottom section which includes the lift up compartment where the 12volt power socket is hidden. This section pulls out from near the glove box passanger side, and steering column drivers. There is no screws or anything, just clips holding in place. Moderate force used again, and blunt object (maybe covered with cloth to prevent scratching.)

Once this section is removed the hvac (aircon control) section also just pulls out. All screws etc for the stereo surround will then be clearly visible.

I will try and take some photo's to make this clearer if no one has any handy.

Any questions let me know.

Hey, Wilscat...

I tried today to remove the panel around the computer/airvents but did not have any luck. There is not much to grab hold of with my fingers and I didn't want to pull it too hard in case it broke. If you could supply some pictures it would be much appreiated by me and anyone else who may wish to remove their panels to upgrade thier audio system.

Dazz you'll need some type of panel removal tool. I've attached a diagram so you can see the points where the clips need to be disengaged.

      Sad day

      Hi all just signed up, I have a Toyota 2011 Orion, yep the dreaded oil cooler lines, a hose blew, I had pulled up to a 99degree turn all was well , then 30 mtr up the road sounded like a truck was next to me then noticed it was my car rattling it’s ***** off, being not even 10mtr from my drive way I idled it into the drive way and oil was everywhere, i placed oil in the car as it read empty on the oil stick , had my partner start the car and wow it was pumping strait out of the hose it had a hole in it ,I turned it off strait away, and researched it, so disappointed I have owned Toyotas all my life and owned this pride and joy for allmost 3years iam second owner with around 212000 on the clock, I am replacing it with the upgraded lines but am know afraid it’s done some serious damage, as idle sounds fine but not game to give it a rev till it’s all fixed, I don’t understand, it states if leaking to return to Toyota, I had no leaks the hose blew a hole, the recall also says extended warranty and has no date or km, for the oil hoses , Am I say up **** creek with out a paddle ?? I will check log books to see when last serviced from Toyota and when recall was made. ??????

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi, thanks for your reply. I'll also try taking the key off the ring. After all, I've tried everything else from using extreme profanities, kicking and crying. What do I have left to lose? Ha ha 🤬🤣

      REMOTE KEY FOB FOR AURION 2009

      Hi Helen1234 I went the cheap option also from Ebay for my 2010 Hilux. It took multiple attempts to get mine to work but after the 4th or 5th time it did exactly what was supposed to happen. The instructions need to be followed perfectly and if you dont the fob will not learn the system. I was personally having the issue where the car thought I took the key out of the ignition because the key barrel is worn. I had to take my key off my key ring because the weight from my house key, canopy key and bottle opener where weighing down on the key when it was in the key barrel. Good luck, hope you get it to work

      Backlash clunk when slightly on and off accelerator

      Hi all, I'm new to the forum and hoping the brains trust here may be able to help, maybe even seen the issue before. I have a 2010 Hilux KUN26 193k on the clock. I have been searching for a possible cause of a clunk which has developed which sounds and feels like backlash. It seems to be coming from towards the front of the vehicle. While the vehicle is idling along in lets say first gear and if I was to ever so slightly touch the accelerator pedal I get a clunk sound like something is engaging and then let my foot off again it happens again but like its disengaging it can felt through the car. I have had it up on a hoist and checked all the engine and gearbox mounts which all seem fine. The tailshaft and uni joints all seem fine also. The clunk happens in all gears but once cruising in any gear you wouldnt think there was an issue. Originally I was leaning towards a clutch issue but only because I was noticing it while changing gears but with further investigation I have noticed it happens without touching the the clutch pedal and just on and off accelerator. I have a throttle controller on the vehicle and thought this may be the issue so I unplugged it and nothing changed. Im hoping someone has seen this before and can point me in the right direction.

      project 2007 camry grande

      The wreckers don't want to sell the centre caps , they only want to sell complete wheel sets. Toyota dealers can supply them new in a packet , but don't know if there is one in a packet or four.

      VSC light flashing when using DAC

      Hey Mate, Im no professional so dont quote me on this, but I think that's normal. They flash when you break traction and the DAC kicks in. If it's constantly flashing at you even when you're not breaking traction, you might have a problem. But it's the same thing with traction control on newer cars. It flashes at you when the traction control is activated and you are sliding or drifting, or whatever.
