OOPS - 05 Limited radio buttons - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Well, while keeping my 05 limited nice and clean, the vac I was using at the car wash sucked off my FM / AM buttons !!!

Does anyone know how I can get these replaced ? I spoke with the dealership they could get only the round buttons. My radio now looks like ti was in a fight and it's missing it's front teeth.

You might be able to get a replacement faceplate for your radio, but the dealership would have to get it through the RADIO manufacturer not Toyota. You need the number off the face of it to see.(small number usually by the lighted display)

If it Just happened within the past couple of days ago or so, I'd check at the car wash. They usually have a phone number posted. You may have to sift through some other peoples dirt looking, but it's worth a shot.

Worst case (and I'm not trying to be funny) you could use scrabble tiles and replace all the buttons. You could match the wood grain with your dash kit, stencil on whatever you wanted the buttons to say (radio call-sign, ABCDE, 12345, or just use the tiles that have the highest values and 'Score'!)

But I'd start out by seeing if I could recover the buttons that are sitting in the vacuum canister if that's an option.

Let me say the obvious ---- junkyard
Would also write to whatever wrecking yards are selling toyota radios ... on ebay.
There are bound to be collisions that ruin the radio, but leave the buttons un-touched.
