question for fellow canadian members, do you have this vent from factory?? Options

[Valo666]

As i was bringing my car back to stock, and we purchased sarah's coupe, i noticed that she has a vent that we dont have since her car is a USDM car. I managed to find the pipe i need and the vent from the wrecked convertable we got all the parts for my interior off.

pic of the tube and vent


and the vent is right under where the steering colum is.


Im just curious cuz i have never seen one of thouse that came factory on a canadian model. I dunno if it just didnt come on my model cuz of the features that the original owner wanted, or if it just didnt come on any. I think its kinda strange that it didnt come on my almost fully loaded GT, but it came on my girlfriends almost lowest model ST.

does your car have AC ?

[Valo666]

yesir...mine came pretty much fully loaded except for the 8speaker system, and leather.

[Batman722]

I just did some research on it and it's standard on all US celicas. If there's no AC then instead of the "vent" on the panel there is a cover. The CAD guys just have the strait tube for some reason.

i have it on my GT-S... and i have A/C..
but my sister's is a GT and she doesn't have it on hers..

dunno why toyota decided to block it off when it's only like a 25 cent piece of plastic???

I have ti as well on my GT-S?? its nice for the junk. in the summer lol

My Canadian celi has that stock. The crotch vent is perfect for the summer with my black leather seats.

[Rayme]

LOL I got that too, maybe its only available with leather seat???
I always forget that vent.!

[K-ESD]

I have that as well. Mine is a GT-S non-leather

[phonex98]

i have it blocked off ? So... is my vent functional i wonder ?....
Canadian ST
w/o Air con, Leather
W/ sun roof, ABS

[Valo666]

if its blocked off, then no...the pipe its self will be a solid peice. I put the vent into mine and i had to switch the cross over pipe.

it would be easy and cheap to convert that if someone wanted too.. just need that vent and the under wheel plastic peice.. (correct me if im wrong)

[Valo666]

all you need is the cross over pipe and the vent that just pops out of the plastic. It took me like 5 min to install...well...more like 40 cuz i was cleaning up all the hackjob wiring that i did when i first got the car and from my friend who installed my alarm.

Ever wonder what the rectangular small plugs are for? The one on the radio's side is for security (Genuine Toyota) but the other one? Heated seats? Just wondering!

I put my LPL Bass control for my amp in the one close to the fuse panel
