Missing radio buttons AD6801

[michaelcmatsos]

I accidently sucked two buttons off my radio with the vacuum cleaner. Terrible mistake. Anyways I am missing the preset 1 and seek buttons. It is a 1998 Toyota Avalon XL with the premium sound system (AD6801).

Here is a link to what the radio looks like

Can anyone help?

Can't you recover the buttons? Over the years I have accidentally vacced up many items. It isn't a nice job but pretty easy to root through the dirt/dust to get what you want.

They look like a dog chewed them up. The vacuum has a metal turbine.

If you're wanting to keep the factory head unit, try looking for one on eBay, or in the boneyard. Either place would be pretty cheap.

Yikes! Good-luck. Sounds like a trip to the junkyard.
