Thanks ahead of time for any help!!
Does this procedure apply to a 2004 Corolla ? I would like to install a car kit. It is basically a box that will connect to the Toyota wiring harness and to the radio. These are the questions I have:
1. As mentioned, does this apply to Corolla 2004 ?
2. Where can I place the car kit box ? is there any room / mount behind the radio ?
3. If I connect the original wiring harnesses to the car kit they will already be connected to the power and to the speakers and I would not need to worry about it. Correct ?
Thank you so much,
Sagig
I wasn't sure where I was supposed to post this but I've been wondering if the 2006 Corolla has a trunk release feature on the key chain (key fob?).
It sounds as if it doesn't but I can't tell since Toyota's website says that a "remote trunk release" feature is available...But does that mean it's on the keyfob as well?
Thanks!
thanks to any response.

How to install new tails
I am assuming that the lights for 03-05 will also fit 06?
THanks in advance
oh...is there any way to go around that? Is it possible to replace struts/shocks that are designed for a lower ride height? Does it cost a lot?
The main thing I liked about Corolla is its fuel economy. This may sound weird but I am trying to do modifications on my Corolla not to improve its performance but to improve its fuel economy :P So that's why I was wondering if lowering helps...
Another reason that I wanted to lower my Corolla is 'cuz I hate that big gap between the tire and the car body. I also considered changing to bigger rims and tires, but I learnt that bigger means more energy will be needed to turn them and thus cost more fuel. And the speedometer and odometer will be slightly off and needs calibration too. So I gave up on that. ANy other suggestions on getting rid of that big gap between the tire and the car body?
Also heard that spoilers or car wings will cause more drag, is it true?
As per the new wheels/tires... The actual size of the wheel won't affect the mileage, it's the weight... It's very possible to find 17 inch alloy wheels that are considerably lighter than the 15 steel wheels that come from the factory.
You really need to make an account on www.9thgencorolla.com
That will be the best resource for you. However, I recommend taking an hour or two to browse through the discussion forums before you start posting questions, b/c pretty much every question you have asked on here has been asked on that forum MULTIPLE times. Do a simple search and you will be overwhelmed with hits.
Still don't know how to properly install fog lights, though. There was a DIY, but I still don't understand how the wiring goes. And dun even know what a harness is :confuse:
Anyone know if I will have trouble with clearance?
I got the tires cheap.
Stock is 175 or 185/65
Any advice would be appreciated
Can somebody point me to a website or something for instructions on how to attach the cargo net for the trunk of a Corolla '06?
Thanks.
It's a hand me down net from a friends 2005 corolla so it didn't come with instructions.
A seller on eBay Vertex Racing sells what they claim are OEM for lights for the 2006 model, they come with a switch & wiring harness however the switch is not the type that mounts or replaces the headlight/turn signal lever with fog light switch standard on the S model Corolla. The local dealer also told me that aftermarket lights would void my warrantee. Can anyone advise how to obtain genuine OEM lights and switch. The price was right on eBay $80.00 plus shipping however their purchase might be opening a can of worms.
I also want to get an exhaust and a body kit for my car... does anyone know any good sites to buy parts like this?
I need some help picking out a good body kit and exhaust... im a girl and i dont know a whole lot about cars, i would really appreciate it if someone would help me out.

While you're reading that link, go ahead and make yourself an account on that site.... It's the best resource online for you as a Corolla owner. Pretty much ANY question that you might have has been discussed at length multiple times, all you have to do is search the forums for your answer. If it hasn't been discussed, all you have to do is ask and it will be answered pronto.
I hope this helps, and enjoy your Corolla!
So i decided not to go with a Body kit.
Thank
My folks just bought a 2006 Corolla LE and wanted to protect it with some seat covers that will work with the side air bags they have.
Anybody out there have any recommendations for them?
Thanks
