My mistake - 13.............

If you are looking for the suffix on the center console part number, it is B1.

Thank you, That is exactly the information I was looking for. Time to call the parts dept at my local dealer.

Thanks again. :thumbsup:

If you read my post on the first page, it has the part number of the center console backing with air vents installed. I stopped this project because I had a hard time color matching the SE Grey interior to the part number. I believe the part number is from an XLE / Hybrid to which I was "told" only came in a light khaki color. Obviously that was when I gave up. I did however inspect the center console and did remove the console backing to see what could be done about routing air up to the console backing. I couldn't find anything worth wild to start the project so I scrapped it and let the back-riders deal with cold feet in their flipflops.

Again, if you successfully do this mod, please document well with pictures, total cost, etc...a proper write up would be appreciated.

I ordered up the rear vent panel today so as soon as it arrives I'll get straight to work on installing the ducting. I can't believe nobody on here has attempted this before me. Seems like an easy thing to change.

I can.............

It'll just be a wantabe jury rigged vent that does not have the foot, bi-level, high vent versatility/functionality of the XLE.

You might as well put the dual control A/C panel on also if you just want it for looks......

 

[Pawel062]

i think i have to agree with njerald. it won't be as functional as stock. though it'll look nice. time for you to prove us wrong...

I'm not looking for anybodies approval, you guys have already made it apparent that I'll do a shoddy job so there is no need for me to update this thread with my progress. I'm glad you both have XLE's, For me it wasn't worth the several thousand dollars more than my LE. I hope I can prove you both wrong, but again I'm not looking for approval. Thanks for the encouragement though.

You're in a perpetual dream state........nobody said you would do a shoddy job.

You will not have an XLE actuator/gate controlled vent by running a hose or two grafted into an A/C or heat duct.

 

[Pawel062]

we are not trying to be mean we are saying that many people though of doing this but it's never going to be as good as original unless you have every single part. plus me i was just trying to provoke you to do it as it would be a great mod. sorry if i came off a bit mean.

 

[PRINCESS PEACH]

I have one :naughty:

Its posts like these that have nothing to add to this thread. Only to show off your car. :thumbsdow

Pedron,
Sorry that you don't get it. In this world, there are a lot of people that don't get it. What you need to understand however is that you can replace the back panel of the console with an a/c vent, but that isn't going to get you a/c in the rear. Try finding a junk yard and gut out the parts on an xle if you can find one. Failing that, new parts are available through the Toyota parts system and will cost a fortune. At the end of the day you will still not have a system that works as you want it to. I am a happy LE owner and would love to have the air connected to the rear. It isn't happening.

What you don't know, or can't read is that I ordered the XLE parts yesterday from my local dealership. It came out to a grand total of $92.58 for everything I need to complete the install. Thanks for assuming that I'm a dumbass yahoo like most of the kiddies on here though. I really appreciate it. I'm also quite happy to hear you're enjoying your LE.

Pedron,

I want to see it regardless of how it turns out. I don't think there is anything wrong with being resourceful and having ingenuity. Good luck to you and I hope it turns out awesome!

Matt

Just curious. What did you buy for $92.58? The end panel alone sells for 83.86.
