    2019 TRD OR… 3” long x 1/2w&h and 572-0191R embossed on it between the black mounting clip and plug. Can’t find the part number on Toyota parts and am clueless as to what it is. I’m pretty sure it’s not a Kit Kat bar.

    Don’t recall seeing it lying on the carpet pad the last time I had the center console off. Looks like it should be plugged into something and fell out, but from where?

    Suggestions?

    Thanks; makes sense. Where is it supposed to be attached? Seems the mechanical connector has to have a mate waiting somewhere. Is it by the charger pad or something I can’t see under the console cover?

    I’m trying to figure out how that drawing matches what I’m seeing irl. I *think* it’s the metal tab on the right side above the yellow connector panel.

    If I figure it out, I’ll post a photo.

    Just to close this out and for future reference… I think what happened is that I bumped the antenna out of its home when I tried to reach for the back of the charger cubby from below (drilling a hole for a 2-way radio coax). It was a challenge getting it back in, but the metal tab is home. F0B125D0-8D21-48A2-B3EC-C765EBDD366F.jpg
