Heater by dmiller29

I know it is summer now, but has anyone had problems in cold weather with your 2009 Corolla producing warm enough heat? I took mine to the dealer in March and he replaced the thermostat. Was a bit better, but today in Ohio at 52 degrees, I was running the heater at high temperature on low fan, and I still didn't need to turn it down. It never seemed very warm. Anyone else concerned with the heater? Any suggestions?

- park it in NYC,
- go get a cup of coffee and wait 5 minutes,
- comeback and radio will be out for you.
- don't wait longer than 5 minutes or wheels will be off as well.

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.

Removing rear speakers in 2009 Corolla.... by eibrown

Just purchased a 2009 Corolla LE, and so far, I'm impressed. However, the stock speakers are cheap, and I want to upgrade them.
Does anyone have instructions and illustrations (pictures) on how to remove the rear deck plastic cover to get to the speakers? It looks like a bear to remove. Your help would be much appreciated.
I suppose if you have tips and illustrations of the front door panel removal with power windows and locks, that would be helpful, too. I will probably replace the front speakers eventually.

Go to Crutchfiled.com. They have speaker upgrades and complete install guides that are free.

My 2009 Corolla radio by lag3

Has anyone had this problem? I bought my 2009 Corolla in May of last year. My radio has poor reception and static. I've had Toyota look at it several times and they tell me the radio "is working normally". They replaced it once, same problem. They've checked the wiring and antenna and say all is working correctly. Due to recall work, they've given me two loaners, same issue with the radios. Bottom line, I'm stuck with a bum radio unless I move forward with arbitration. Anyone else with this problem?

First I'm hearing about it. I got the JBL upgrade with bluetooth and satillite. 400 watts of power really can shake, the car without distortion. This radio really rocks! Good luck with your repair. What were the recalls all about?

Actually, I'm not sure it was an actual recall but a documented problem, I think they replaced a strut mount. As far as the radio goes, I think it's just a poor quality radio they put in the car, unfortunately, it sounds so bad I can't listen to it. I either have to live with it or go through arbitration with Toyota and see what they will do. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if anyone else is dealing with the same issue.
