Hi guys,

Recently got another 1996 Camry that didn't come with any remotes.

I have a good remote for this model but need to find out a way to programme it in without the existing remote (as I never got one)

Usually you out then existing remote in the reader and follow with the new one to programme. But surely there is away around this without paying a fortune at a Toyota dealer?

nope Toyota dealer cant even programme them now days mate sorry, the only real; option you have is to get the whole system removed and a new one installed which will cost into the thousands easy, i have the same issue with myt 1997 camry mate so i havent bothered to chase and stayed content with using the key , my alarm etc still work so it doesn't phase me

You don't have to replace the CIR as they can be reset back to virgin state and then you can program in TWO new remtoes, you can not do one. They also have to be new and not already coded to another car.

Surely there is a way to reset something??

Exactly where is the CIR and what does CIR stand for?

I have had the glove box out and found- 1 small black box - the ECU - another larger black box to the side (computer something? I forget the markings now) but if someone could let me know which of these relates to the remote locking system and how to go about resetting?

Wonder if possibly I could replace the unit with one from a wreckers with a remote and if this would work in another Camry?

The CIR is coded to the ECU when remotes are first coded to the car, this prevents you from being able to get a CIR with remote from another car. They can be reset back to new but this is not straight forward to do and requires programming equipment.

CIR stands for Computer Integrated Relay. I can post a picture of one tomorrow as I have one in my shed.

CIR is basically an ECU for all the body electrics in the car. Also called the Integration Relay, Body Control Module etc etc.

so if i was to get a body control module form anotehr exact same numbers etc that has remote with it would that work ?

No, as it is coded to the ECU.

      200 series won’t shift past 4th gear

      Hi everyone, new to this forum - refugee from LCOOL. Having read some of the replies, to the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a minor remap. Toyota in their wisdom have the software in the ECU such that it cannot be downloaded, modified and reloaded. It has to be a complete reload, either stock or modified. All you fellows disconnecting the battery is a good and simple way to try and reset everything but similar results can be achieved by simply disconnecting the ECU. That's the big plug in the firewall passenger side. Meanwhile I may need to start a new topic for the following issues I am experiencing: Had a minor shudder when applying the brakes. Also was somewhat intermittent. Having over 100k on the clock a lot which were done towing a big van, I thought I may have warped a disk. Checked them with a dial gauge but no useful info. Bit the bullet and replaced all 4 with new slotted rotors and pads from DBA. Huge difference in braking. However the shudder has return almost with a vengeance. Thought I fixed the problem when I disconnected the ECU for another unrelated issue. ECU is remapped, car went in limp mode and could not clear it with the scangauge. Problem not fixed and I am lost as to why this is happening. Plan on visiting Berima Diesel later on this year to have the injectors checked and I'll get them to look at the brakes if I still haven't figured it out. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thank you

      G’day from NSW

      G’day All just got a 2012 (old shape) Corolla Ascent Hatchback Auto. Needs a few things done, it was my Dads who just passed away. Going to install pioneer head unit (basic one really) as a start, then maybe upgrade speakers but I’ll see how the oem ones go, I’ve read I’ll need at least 50w ones for the pioneer. Front inner plastic guards are a bit trashed along with bumper bar, just need to neaten it up a little. cheers Sparky

      Head Unit Replacement for 2010 Toyota Corolla Hatch

      G’day TGA, hope you got this sorted, just about any 2 din would fit. I’m putting a pioneer one in but I’d like to know how to pull the trims apart to fit it 🤨 Every video shows the sedan with a different gearshift with short trims to remove but those 2 lower side ones are 1 piece on the hatch and I’m struggling. Do I need to remove console box to start removing those side piece. Any help cheers Sparky

      Landcruiser 200 GPS

      I am sure many owners of Landcruiser 200s have had the same experience as me where the GPS has led me into the wrong roads. I’ve had two Landcruisers, a 2013 model and currently have a 2021 model. Both vehicles had/have poor GPSs. Even Toyota personnel agree with this. so I am considering replacing it with an after market unit. I don’t want one which relies on mobile phone connection. I am looking at a unit sold by Brummstadt.

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.
