Also I am having a problem finding the "sweet spot" setting up the stereo sound and was wondering how others set it up. I know it's a personal preference...but I prefer hearing all speakers.
Thank you!
8 of the 10 characters that can be displayed at once seem to load and no more.
Is this the normal behavior of that unit's display?
So my question is, do I need to buy something else before I can start? Like some dash kit and wiring harness?
Thanks for any information!
Given the integration with the steering wheel keypad switches and the wheel speed sensors/combination meter, personally, you wouldn't find me tearing apart the dash to install a different radio. There are 6 different fused circuits feeding the radio circuitry (or items/devices that are input to the radio circuitry). I'd hire a professional shop to install their branded/supported radio that they assure will work with the vehicle yr/brand/model/trimlevel/existing radio option wiring, if I absolutely HAD to have a different radio.
Good luck!
my dad just bought a 2009 camry LE and he said i could hook my ipod up somewhere in the car. so i checked it out and im not sure what kind of cord i need.
HELP!!!
Get a 6 footer if you want the kids in the backseat to be able to control the music, otherwise a 3 footer is fine.
Thanks in advance
thanks
I want to add an ipod interface to my LE could anyone tell me the best ones and the best deals out there for purchase and installation?
Also, I am interested in a stereo that has one or all of the following: bluetooth and or navigation equiped. Please advice also on devices and prices. Thank you. I appreciate the help.
The dealership replaced the original radio unit, absolutely no hassles. But the new unit has precisely the same problem. Obviously, this is pretty minor matter; I could listen to another band or put in a CD. But when I want to listen to a ball game and can't get XM, then it gets serious!
I've searched Edmunds and the web generally, but found nothing similar. Any suggestions (beyond just living with it)?
Thanks.
Either the cable you have is bad, or you bought one with the wrong plugs.
It's been a couple years since I bought the cable, but I know I posted the part number somewhere in these forums long time ago. IIRC, I think I even bought two, one at radio shack and another later at walmart. We have one that is 6 foot long that reaches the back seat, and a shorter one for front seat occupants.
The plug was the standard size (at the time), that fit our mp3 players and headphones. I know my new blackberry has a thinner diameter plug, which is not the correct diameter.
I'm suspecting you may have the wrong diameter plugs on that cable.
I spent about a half hour on the phone with XM trying to activate my car but they couldn't find any record of it. Didn't make any sense to me.
I spoke with my sales guy and he didn't help and eventually had to speak with the dealers customer service head.
He (with a lot of attitude and some confusion) explained to me that my car was xm "capable" and that meant I could buy and have toyota install a receiver (behind the radio (with satellite written on it ) for about $350 and then I could subscribe to XM. I was fine subscribing to XM but thought that Toyota is running some kind of scam selling cars that are XM capable without explaining what that means. He also suggested I go to bestbuy and have them install XM and they dont install on factory toyota units.
Am I the only one making this complaint or do other know the difference when they buy the car?
Today, when I left work, my setting was -2 and volume at 27. I changed from aux to radio, and back to aux, I had to adjust the base to +1 and volume to 39 just to get the same quality of stereo as before... Make any sense?? If you can give any suggestions please do.
I turned my car on (the radio stays on i never turn it off) and the cd popped out. The radio won't come back on, doesn't give error message. A radio display is flashing. The manual isn't giving any help. What can I do to figure this out without taking it to the dealer?? Help!
Thanks

Keep taking it back until they replace the radio and antennae if necessary. Have video phone available to record symptoms when you are driving, so they can see it occurring, since they can't seem to replicate it. You may have to open a record with toyota corporate help desk. Keep excellent records of every date/time it fails, every dealer repair, etc.
