any one ever installed a toms/trd push button start
Trending Topics
From what I remember, you have to take off the chrome surround around the start button. Then twist or wiggle the button unit until it comes out. Unplug the wiring from the back, plug it into the TRD start button and put everything back.
Now I don't have the TRD start button but I did have to take it out when I was replacing all my LEDs. It was a bit easier to have the center dash unit taken out so that you could reach in the back and unplug the start button. After unplugging it, its easier to pull the button out.
Hope this helps. Goodluck!

just put it in this morning, PITA till i figured out a easy way so let me give everyone a few tips, use a panel puller to get the chrome bezel off (thx ISBU) then take a paper clip and bend one end into a L shape (not a big L but just a hook kinda thing), slide the paper clip between the button and the~ 'outside ring black thing', use a needle nose pliers to grip the clip and pull~ watch out thou cuz the clear plastic for the light to shine thru the button will go flying along with the button, stuff a towel to cover the seatbelt area so it doesn't fall in there~ when you put the chrome bezel back on you'll need to line up the tabs so dont just mash it back in.
