#111 of 162 Re: How do you remove "07 Corolla (LE) Audio [drgntudo] by jpaoli Jul 20, 2008 (7:30 pm)
Replying to: drgntudo (Jul 20, 2008 11:03 am) The steps:    1. disconnect battery lead because of air bag sensors 2. pop off trim around shifter stick 3. remove center knob on the A/C panel. Remove phillips screw behind the knob. This is the only screw that has to come out (in addition to the 4 radio screws) 4. pull the a/c console forward. It's a tight fit but it's only held by clips. This was the most difficult part for me because I didn't want to break anything. It eventually released after pulling with constant pressure. 5. pull the air vent assembly off around the radio. This is also a tight fit, is only secured with clips. The radio face plate came off with this piece. 6. Remove 4 10mm bolts at bottom of radio. I used putty on a 10mm socket to help hold the bolt from falling down into the dashboard. Lose these bolts and you'll easily add several hours to the job trying to fish them out of the dashboard.

#115 of 162 Replacing stereo in Corolla LE: new speakers needed? by wwr66 Jul 28, 2008 (8:26 pm)
Question about whether I'm being snowed when it comes to having a new stereo installed...   I went to a big electronics retailer (Store #1) to see about replacing the stock stereo (CD/AM-FM) in my 07 Corolla with one that has both CD/AM-FM and an auxillary plug for an MP3 player. This retailer has a feature on its car audio webpage where you can select your vehicle and see which stereo decks will be compatible with it. I did this -- and found that it had no listings (none) for the Corolla. (Same thing for the Honda Civic and Accord.) I figured this was an error, especially since a competitor (Store #2) listed 12-15 different decks that are supposedly compatible with my Corolla year.   Store #1 said that they're "covering our bases" by not listing anything as compatible, since I have six speakers and most decks won't work with the stock six speakers in the vehicle. They say I'd either have to "lose" two of my speaker connections (undesirable, in my view) or I'd have to buy two new (more "efficient") speakers from them. This would just about double the total cost I planned to pay for a new stereo deck with installation. Obviously, I'm reluctant to go this route. But the scare tactic at Store #1 is that I could "fry" my new deck if it overwhelms the speakers the car came equipped with. (I'm not looking for the thumping bass effect. Maybe a little Led Zepplin on my rockiest days.)   The kicker: The competitor (Store #2) seems just fine with installing the same decks and has indicated no concerns about needing to install additional store-purchased speakers. Basically, I would just have to pay $20 or so for the harnass, plus the deck itself (installation is pretty much free if the deck is over $99). I would much prefer to go with Store #2 and the much less expensive cost involved...but if I do that, am I likely to "fry" my new stereo? In other words, are those two new speakers Store #1 wants to sell me truly necessary? Thanks for any info/guidance.   Steve Replies to this message: drgntudo (Jul 29, 2008 9:37 am)

Replying to: wwr66 (Jul 28, 2008 8:26 pm) This does not answer my question concerning removing the CD-AM/FM device from the dash of my 07 Corolla. BUT if you want info about what your reply Store #1 and store # 2 go to LOGJAM.com and ask them questions. My experience with them has been outstanding. Again www.logjam.com. Good luck.

#118 of 162 2009 Corolla XM install by slowlearner1 Aug 03, 2008 (9:54 am)
Just bought an 09 Corolla and want to install stock XM reciever. Does anyone have any experience with this or can anyone give me a website that details this install? thanks Jim
#119 of 162 09 Corolla XM install by slowlearner1 Aug 04, 2008 (11:13 am)
Found the info I needed and will pass it on for others. The xm reciever box installs on the right side (as you look in the trunk) behind the panel. It requires a fit kit that has necessary bracket and bolts to hold the reciever in place. It also has an extension for the antenae lead. The harness connection is too far away to reach the reciever without the extension (more money for Toyota). The reciever is part 86180-0W031 and the fit kit is PT546-02080. I was able to oder both including postage for about $250. Others have said the install takes 1/2 to 1 hour and is easy. Instructions come with the fit kit and can be found on line. Toyota xm price is around $400. Hope this helps someone... Replies to this message: terceltom (Sep 21, 2008 5:13 pm)

Replying to: slowlearner1 (Aug 04, 2008 11:13 am) On my 2009 Corolla XLE I got the JBL high end eight speaker sound system. The XM was included right in the radio, no additional receiver needed. Wasn't sure if I wanted to spend the extra $1000.00 for this system but I'm so glad I did. This system has knock your socks off sound in general but it's optimized when combined with the XM satellite reception. This 440 watt system sounds so much better then the standard or even the middle grade radio that you can get. I can turn the volume up to #50 with no distortion at all. If any one is seriously considering this JBL sytem with XM and Bluetooth hands free calling and can afford it, go for it, you won't be sorry. Phone speaker and microphone are right above your head. It's so nice not having to fiddle with a cell phone when calling or receiving calls when all you have to do is press a button on the steering wheel to do this. The audio controls are at a fingers touch away on the steering wheel and are just so convenient as well.
