DVD headrest.
I do not like these DVD players in 100 series. At best they are installed at port depot or Dealerships, once in USA (not factory installed). Why I do not like:
Installers damage interior installing.
Installers cut into factory wiring.
Old tech.
Older lower res LCD. Most have better on smart phone or tablet.
Often head rest flop around which is inconvenient at best safest issue at worst.
The often cause a parasitic battery drain.
So I removed all wiring and electronics of the system, in prep for headrest replacement. Finding headrest is a waiting game. Toyota or Lexus has two colors gray & tan. The will vary in shades, but not all that much. Each row is a different size, with fronts the largest. I just watch for parts rigs in my area, and pick up a set when available. With all the guts now out. The DVD headrest just need pulling out and replaced placed back in their place.
I took my time to trace points DVD wiring was spliced into factory wiring. I was happy that DVD wiring was not connected into audio wiring of factory system.
What a mess of wiring. I even found 3 boxes stuck up under the ashtray area, one keeping ashtray from closing.

I keep and eye out for used HR, just for this reason.
Although these are gray, I'm still interested. Which row?I have perfectly good tan HR cover from my 2001lx. When I reupholstered I had to cut one but 2nd one is fine.
This is first row. And I have one from second row (side)Although these are gray, I'm still interested. Which row?

Where can I find an axle knuckle tool like this?
Looks like an excellent way for setting good mating surfaces on the FDS.
It's just a puller and common wood working clamp. Just stuff lying around the shop. Years ago after I showed this tool on mud and the importance of using it. Others refined it. I made a copy cat of the refined tool, again just from stuff lying around the shop.Where can I find an axle knuckle tool like this?
