2009 heater/ac control knobs

[Sodium Duck]

Does anyone know if it would be possible to switch out my grey, 2008 control knobs, for black, 2009 knobs?

I called my local Toyota dealer, and he said that I'd have to buy the whole switch/control thing in order to get the knurled plastic, black, cooler knob.

Prices on the three knobs were $48.22, $37.22, and $57.54. I didn't bother to ask which one was which price. I may just buy the cheapest one and see if it works? Unless someone knows it won't work at all.

are you proud to have that confederate flag in the background of your avatar?

[Sodium Duck]

Grow up would you? I *own* and am very *proud* of that flag actually because I believe in a confederate style of government.

Yay, my first ever person I get to put on my ignore list!

Back on topic again please, let's leave it alone whether you disagree or agree with me.

Looks like you're trying to turn your '08 into an '09. Why don't you just trade it in while trade-in values are pretty good?

[Sodium Duck]

This is getting way off topic lol.

I actually want just the rear bumper and tail lights -- I should make that more specific. I don't like the front bumper and headlights on the '09.

...SELL ME YOURS! =]

[IsLNdbOi]

I've actually been looking to get an '08 front bumper for my '09LB. I like the '07 / '08 LB's front bumper better as well.

When you find out if they fit and the part numbers could you post them.I noticed they were black as well a couple weeks back while sitting in an 09 at the dealership at a car show.they look like they are direct replacements.

[tk-421]

very interested in this mod as well. please keep us posted!

[Sodium Duck]

Eh, screw it -- what the heck. Tommorow I'll call the dealer and order the cheap one. Hope it works!

[uncleyaris]

They are totally different , I don't think they will fit!!

[Sodium Duck]

How are they totally different?

They're the same size, do the same functions, and are in the same exact place. The only difference I see is that the 2009 is black and knurled on the outside. It's not like I'm buying square knobs and expecting them to fit.

[Stoln]

I have a 2007 RS 5door and it has black knobs, I am not impressed that Toyota has made the parts, buy the whole unit not just the part you need. I was questioning the door power window switches and asked if one stoped working can I buy the switch, the dealer said it is the whole unit or nothing. Toyota sells the car cheap than robes us on replacing parts, like I shouldn't realize this conspiracy.

[Sodium Duck]

Right, anyways, lol...

Hmm, I wonder if the part for a 2007 would be cheaper? Does anyone else in America have black knobs besides the 2009 crowd?

I just ordered the assembly. Part number 55902-52170, $39.09.

Not bad at all, and if something breaks, I'll always have a spare. Unless someone wants to buy my old knob - if this works that is.

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

i ordered and have installed the 2008 S heater control knobs with no problems. pm me if you want toyota part numbers......

Geez, Miss Sensitive! What's with the high blood pressure?? I just asked a question and you're getting all ferocious. :iono:

[TheRealEnth]

lol its ok nate =D...

[natethegreat38]

lol its ok nate =D...

Thanks for the love :wub: lol

[Sodium Duck]

Ugh, they ordered the wrong part. Hvae to go back soon and get the right one.

[sportin83]

y dont u take them off sand them down and paint and clear coat them?

[Sodium Duck]

Because I want a stock look. Plus, these ones have cool knurling on them. And they won't chip or fade overtime.

[Sodium Duck]

Can anyone post a picture of these for me? I've scoured google and come up short. I want to bring them a picture so they know exactly what I'm talking about.

Did you expect anything else? You didn't even bother to reply to his questions, just asked an asinine question.


From what I can tell, my 08 knobs look like the one in the photo, or are they 08's? I don't know what knurled means. lol.

[Sodium Duck]

The knobs I have seen, in a 2009 five door, were black as night, and had knurling on them. Not the one in the pictures posted above unfortunately.

[dybbuk]

So it has a pattern to match the dash? Gotta love wiki.

[Sodium Duck]

Que?

Actually, I just found some pictures, but these are from different Toyota models, a Corolla, and FJ... But this is what I'm talking about.

[IllusionX]

the ones i posted are the black ones found in the 2009 sedan here.

[Sodium Duck]

I believe the ones I posted are what you get with a "Dark Charcoal" interior. I swear I saw it with my own eyes, lol. When Scott and I got together, those were the knobs he had in his '09.

I don't think the guys at my dealership are going to be able to find them. I brought them the picture and they still aren't exactly able to find it. They were saying something about the new parts catalog is screwed up, blah blah blah.

So we tried another part, tommorow it should be in. We'll see.

[Sodium Duck]

Correct part numbers, major thanks to CTScott for these.

55901-52270: Base Sub-assy, Heater
55902-52120: Control Sub-Assy, Heater
55903-52360: Knob, Heater Control, No 2

for 2009 toyota decided to put the same color knob in each of their models of yaris hatch. before the 09's came out you had to order the dark charcoal ones.......

[IllusionX]

I think i have problems to express myself in English... lol


What i'm saying is that we do not have the beige interior in Canada and in 2009, we get the dark charcoal as pictured above...

[Sodium Duck]

Oooooo, I misread what you wrote, I'm sorry. Yea, knurling is just ummm, that diamond cut grippy kind of pattern engraved on the plastic.

[Sodium Duck]

Got the right part today, installed in 3 minutes, functions properly. I'm going to order the other two next week sometime. Very happy! Pics a little later once I install my newly painted trim piece.

[Sodium Duck]

Looks so sweet. Once it's put back together I will truly be rollin'.

[ROCKLAND TOYOTA]

2009 heater knobs ARE different from the 07/08 ones. nice mod but i'll stick with the dark grey ones i have......

[rningonfumes]

Dammit Duck! Why the hell did you make me notice that the 09s have black knobs? ...Now I want them too.

Now my question is: are they more "finer" adjusting? I mean is there still a lot of play as with the 08 knobs? That's my peeve about the 08 knobs, they make them feel "cheap."

they felt a lot smoother to me . especially when adjusting from hot/cold or choosing a vent cycle.....

[Sodium Duck]

Outer ring, yes. Inner knob, no.

Sorry, still cheap I guess. I never really noticed until you said that. Meh, no biggy. =]

[Meteorite_Marty]

They look nice, but will be harder to keep clean and free of dust.

[Sodium Duck]

That's why I keep a big hand mitt/dust rag in my driver's side glove box. Every week i go over my dash, center console, shifter, etc.

=]

[anubisx99]

hey sodium, from where did you order them?? do you order them by knob or are there more than one piece per knob?

Same here... darker dashes seem to be dust magnets. Your dash looks really nice though.

[Stoln]

I do like the look of the new knob in pic 38. On my Canadian RS I have all three knobs in black. They are the second two in pic 38. Those of you who want the same look but not the different style just order the knobs for a 2007 RS and you will get them in black. Good choice though. :thumbup:

[Sodium Duck]

Toyota Dealership. Part numbers are listed above.

You get the entire knob assembly, there is no way to order just the knobs themselves without the electronics. When I order the other two I will take pictures to show the install. You bassically unplug the wires, and pop the knob out of the plastic dash piece. It's really easy.

[TinyGiant]

I need a stock 08 Top Knob .. the fan speed control.. I just noticed that mine was little loose .. when i took it out i must have snapped on of its tabs..

if you replace that one LMK the price and we'll talk :)

Thanks!

[Sodium Duck]

How bout $17.84 + shipping?
