The limited edition Scion tC has the TRD push button, it's the yellow tC. At the time that I wanted to get it they didn't have the pricing yet. Here how it looks like.

So is it just the front plastic piece that is replaced? Not the whole switch assembly correct?

Would it be easier to pull the radio to access the back? Then just pop it out?

I have the red TRD one and it was an easy install... Just took off the panel underneath the steering wheel popped out the OEM button n disconnected.. Reconnected the TRD one and put back in... Took me all of 15 min.

Anyone confirm? If so, that's a lot of money for one small piece of plastic.

It's the whole switch, with the oscillator coils and LED lighting, etc. inside. It's not just the plastic cover.

I don't get it, why do people like these? The only way I would put one in is if my name was Tom.
