Where is the remote control box for Toyota Corolla?

Above the clutch pedal. Near the fuse box. Lower part of the body computer. Here are some introductions about the Toyota Corolla: 1. Exterior: The sharp momentum emanating from the high-brightness four-round crystal diamond headlights at the front makes the COROLLA Corolla seem ready to go. The chrome horizontal front grille smoothly spreads the lines to the left and right sides, extending smoothly backward along the headlights, outlining a dynamic front part of the car. 2. Discontinuation time: In fact, FAW Toyota had planned to discontinue the Corolla as early as 2007, but due to the strong recognition of the Corolla by domestic consumers, FAW Toyota delayed the discontinuation for ten years. After the Corolla was discontinued, the Corolla using the new TNGA platform became its replacement.
When I previously drove a Toyota Corolla, I encountered a similar issue. The remote control box is usually located under the dashboard near the steering wheel. You can bend down from the driver's seat and use a flashlight to check the left side of the steering column or the area above the clutch pedal. Sometimes it's hidden behind a plastic cover that requires unscrewing to open. Some newer Corolla models might have relocated it to the inner side of the dashboard in front of the passenger seat or behind the glove box cover, requiring the removal of a few screws to access. For safety, it's advisable to disconnect the vehicle battery before inspection, and avoid directly touching the circuits to prevent short circuits and system damage. If you can't find it, consult the user manual or search online for pictures specific to your model year, such as pre-2008 models where it's mostly on the left side. Later models might have it integrated into a module. It's generally not too hard to find, but take your time and explore patiently without rushing.
I noticed that the location of the Toyota Corolla's remote control box varies significantly by model year. Older models from the 1990s are typically fixed under the steering wheel behind the dashboard. Post-2000 versions are often located inside the glove compartment towards the rear, requiring removal of items and opening the cover to view. For models after 2010, it is sometimes integrated into the central control system near the radio in the center console. Therefore, the exact position depends on your car's manufacturing year. I often recommend first locating the vehicle manual or checking model photos on online forums for more accuracy. If the remote fails, start by checking the battery or signal interference before rushing to dismantle the box. Its location is just the starting point; consulting a professional is more reliable and time-saving to avoid incorrect operations.
That remote control receiver box is the thing in the car that receives signals from the key. On a Toyota Corolla, it's usually located inside the cabin, commonly found below the steering wheel on the left side or behind the glove compartment. When looking for it yourself, use a flashlight to check. Don't dismantle things too extensively. The position may vary, but it's not too hard to find. If you encounter problems, try checking the manual or seeking help online. Safety first—don't touch things randomly. If you find a small black box, that might be it.
