Dang... I hate how they make the Hour and Minute buttons so small btw.

dont the vent part just pull out, and those just clip in.
i am sure.5 min fix. just tape an end of a small flat head screw driver and pry around it, it pops out.
yep there it is. from when i did my terk install

The service manager said the whole dash has to come out, most likely he really does not know, I do not want to break anything. Could you please give me more hints.

oh ships. that sucks.

GL on the fix
hopefully the dealer wont have your car for the whole day just to fix it.

Toyota nation comes through, I pop the vent module out with a butterknife.
and put the button unit back in its clip. and its a done deal. I had thought about pulling out the vents, but was afraid of breaking some plastic attachment point. An d the service writer was not encouraging.
i did scratch up the button by self by trying to pull it up with some needle nose pliers. I just saved myself the loss of the car for half a day.

thank you

Or they just say that so U'll get off their back.

If they don't have to than they won't do it.

Lol, that could've been it. I remember once, my wheel cover was missing when I had the tires rotated. I got so mad, I cussed everyone out at the dealership, and whuduya know. They found it... And since then, I haven't had any problems out of them.

I can't believe that happened! I could see if it was Chevy or Dodge but a Toyota???!!!!...

Unbelievable! But man, dealer would of been a pain :/
If i were to design that part, i'd probably have a bit more attachments to help it be secure :P
