Anyone know what that 3/4" black rubber tube coming from behind the dash that terminates in that little vent at the lower right of the climate control is for????

I'm not sure.. but here is a pic of it when I took my dash apart a while ago. I'm assuming Toyota was thinking ahead for the newer LC's with auto climate control?
The Rubber Hose
That rubber hose is part of the climate control system. It sucks air from the interior of the car iwhile the fan is running into the climate control unit past a temperature sensor to control the aircon.
It sucks in dirt and fluff as well and you could celan it out of the climate control unit if you are careful.
If it is not fitted then thing will not control very well.

I thank the cavalry
It's *^^% eerie to see a pic of the exact thing that had me crappin myseltf yesterday :my dash in peices in the name of reception.
Strangely my balck tube is squished and cripmed too( I sense a new thread)..like the one in the beautiful LC porn pic Gbell posted "take it all off baby!!!"
I angrily yanked my old Coax from the nether (lack-o-conektor-by-antenna- -itis is the cause of all this) thinking the whole while"I'm an a****** I'm gonna F somthin up bad....."
When I reassembled sure enough my dash lights were dead
Later I realized I had turrned the dimmer all the way down during the melee
kinda like a blindfolded stoodge sayin"hey, who turned the lights out???)
But, I digress......
Should I disconnect my battery for dash R%R????(did it1/2 way into the process...)Now my radio is blinking
when I turn it on(no sound)I hope that's because I did not screw it back in yet . I still need to get a small extention coax since naturally the new antenna's cable is just inches shy of long enough : double
Suggestion to woody:Make a new icon : just a tiny little bananna for bottom feeders like me
