The Compass/Temp gauge for the roof console..

A few weeks ago a customer comes into the dealership and ends up walkin through service dept instead of the side of the building where parts is.. so asks me where he can find the parts dept.. i direct him how to get to parts and then asks me if i knew off hand how hard a garage opener console for the roof was on his tacoma, I ask " ahh yours came with the Compass/Temp gauge " and he's like yea and is like i got a double din nav system in the vehicle so the compass/temp gauge is kinda useless to me and have more use for the garage opener, so i think to myself ahh we'll ask if he wants to trade what harm could come from asking.. and so i say " well my tacoma has the garage opener console and i'm lookin at gettin the Compass/Temp console, would you wanna swap one for the other? " he's like how long would that take i'm like 5min 10min max cause i gotta go run to my truck and drive it over here.. he's like deal! i was like woohooo!! upgrade for me lolol

just thought i'd shell out another perk i've come to love about working in a dealership
with everyone who gets synthetic oil i love to empty out the little that remains in the
bottle into the bigger 4.4L jugs and in the last 3 months i'm accumulated the following

with the 09 Runner's everything is already there, wiring and sensor :D
i believe with 08 and prior you have to purchase the sensor that mounts by the rad for the temp gauge..

Don't have the part #'s right off hand but the display goes for a little of $900 :thumpdown:

Your best bet is the scrap yard or eBay.

I used to work for the parts warehouse down here, and the overhead console itself ran for about $1050, for those that need the sensor, it's about another $15-20.

Nice deal bro, kinda sounds like a scam artist. You take from everybody else that pays for it. Yeah I'm jealous that I don't have that hook up. I would love to have the temp/comp instead of my garage door compartment since it rattles when my bass hits.

I schooled me one off a tacoma with a broke compass and the new one came with the housing cuz extended warranty wanted that way. All i need is replace the compass ecu and get a temp sensor.
