Land Cruiser Sunglasses Holder?!!

Unfortunately, it's just a design element. It's not pass through, but it also won't hold anything useful.

I just went out to look. I don't see anything that opens up there. View attachment 1673

Is that speaker grille for fake ‘grunting’ sounds like in the new Tacoma? I also read somewhere they were using some kind of noise canceling tech, but haven’t been able to confirm.

Not a mis print...... just a lie.

Maybe it’s the small storage under the owners manual in the glove box?

I'm sticking with "just a lie"

Does anyone know what this means ? It the flat part next to phone charger. It has a warning sticker no metal ,no phone to lay there .
What is it ? I just thought is was some useful spot to place sunglasses or key fob

It’s for the wireless charger, just. Warning not to put any metal object under your phone while charging because there’s an increased risk of fire.

No I am not talking about the phone charging pad on the right , but the part where the sticker is ? Is the sticker referring to the phone charger pad to the right?

I think so. Not putting anything else on the wireless charger seems important but they probably don’t put the sticker there because it would either slightly interfere with testing it out and/or it might get warm there and make a mess when time to remove.

I'm pretty sure the sunglass holder is the driver's head.

I assume the warning sticker is referring to phone charging pad and the area to the left of phone charging pad where the warning sticker is located is fine to lay keys and sunglasses on

Agreed

Same sticker in the GX550 but its placed directly on the wireless charging pad.

Does anyone know where the sunglasses holder is in the new LC? I have read in several places that there is one. This is a feature I love and would miss it if there isn’t one. Also, it appears as though there is no longer the double sun visor in the LC. I loved that about my 1999 Land Cruiser. Looking forward to hearing your replies. Thanks!! Dr. M

I have downloaded both the owners manual and the quick reference guide and neither mentions one. I also love this feature on my Subaru

Not one other than laying it down

Please see the photo above. Last line states that all 3 trim levels have sunglasses storage. Any thoughts from those of you who have taken delivery? Thanks!!

I don't find one in my FE. Maybe they plan to do it in later-made (like in ones to come and in 2025) models. It would be great if we got that for sure.

Do sunglasses fit in the compartment on the steering wheel? Thread on the Land Cruiser reddit forum complaining about the design since you can't wrap your hand around the center part of the wheel. Curious what owner's experience has been or thoughts on this design.

It hasn't been an issue for me I've just adapted and I grab it from the sides... but I'm sure it will be for some.

IMO the sticker is there due to the cordless charging relies on the induction coil inside the phone being is close alinement to the coil in the charging pad. Anything preventing that and the charger won't charge. Ie... some phone cases won't allow a phone to wirelessly charge, until you remove the case. To be honest the charger in my Tacoma was such a pain, it is now used as a storge space.

Can you turn off the wireless charging pad via settings? Sometimes handy to eliminate any concerns if you aren’t going to utilize it anyway.
