Hi All,

As per page 166 of the owners manual.

Has anyone been able to retro-fit this into there KX-S?

It appears that we have the Headlight Control Sensor already mounted on top of the dash (centre), below the windscreen.

Although we do not have the headlight stalk / switch mechanism.

Could it be a simple plug and play and swap over the headlight stalk / switch mechanism?

Or could it be more complicated and require a new wiring loom etc?

Happy to discuss...

The Switch Assembly Part No: TO-8414042070 with AUTO Function.

I have confirmed that the KX-S has the Light Sensor on the dash, it should be a simple plug and play.

The Grande and KX-S share the same body control module (except for the Smart Access / Start feature)

Both have the Light Sensor in the middle of the dash...

Will keep you up to date...

Any ideas where this would fit in the Kluger?

Do you think it will require steering wheel removal or perhaps under the dash someplace?

or is that part of your "will keep you up to date?" ;)

It is just a new indicator stalk / switch assembly.

It just has a rotation to enable AUTO, just like turning your lights on / off or turning your Fogs on / off.

No aftermarket switch or anything messy like that.

OEM parts only, as per Grande...

The Light Sensor is Part No: TO-8912150020.

It is standard on KX-S and Grande models.

Any chance you've got a quote for the cost of part and installation by a dealer?

Yes I realise I am capable of doing this myself, just thought I'd check as you may have already done this :-)

Will be taking to dealer though, as the new switch needs to be programmed.

Ok, so it doesn't work!!!

$200 down the drain...

Plus the dealership sctratched my steering wheel controls (A/C / Disp) on the right hand side.

But they deney any wrong doing! needless to say I am not impressed...

(Considering that this was the area that they were working on...)

Bugger on a few different levels! ohmy.gif

You would think the dealership would be able to give you a degree of confidence in this working before the install, were they shy?

It's sad to think that the dealership would damage your car and then deny everything, what do we have to do to keep our cars safe, take photos of everything before we take it in for a service? What ever happened to old fashioned honesty and making good on your mistake, sheesh!

Sucks to hear mate. But realistically, if it were that easy, it would make you wonder why they didn't fit it in the first place.

Maybe you better finish the job and sus the wiring out and see if you can make it work.

Yeah, will have to source a wiring diagram for the Kluger somewhere.

I have the Camry Workshop manuals from my old Camry, however would love to get my hands on the Kluger Workshop manual...

Got the trigger wire from the switch to the BCM (Body Control Module), however I have now found that although we have a Light Sensor on KX-S's. It is not functional and only has the positive and negative going to the BCM. It is missing a trigger wire also.

Problem is trying to get a trigger wire from the Light Sensor to the BCM.

I don't feel like taking the entire dash pad off...

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb
