On my console it says CD... but I only have a radio and cassete...

is it someplace else?

I can not find it, maybe i don't have one...

ohh...sorry I didn't quite read it properly.. So in the single din headunit, there's 3 buttons "CD" "Tape" "Radio" ? right?

Absolutely, that's it...

but no CD in the boot or under the seat or anywere...

must have been an option.

I'v got one of those 'big' amps someplace... so I'll mount that, replace the f /r speakers and install a player, I guess...

I do miss a sunroof though, I like to just pop the rear up, not fully open... but that's not going to happen.

Maybe later I'll look into a later model and seek one out with the options I want...

Don't really know enough about Cammies yet to know which model to go for...

But the Gen 3 is a great car...I take the long way home :)

Thanks u reply.

In the Touring Series, they had the CD player, but didn't have the stacker in the boot like the Ultima/Grande. They're a double din HU, and sound like shyt so I really wouldn't bother investing in one honestly.

An aftermarket HU with MP3 capabilities (even DVD) would be a good idea... the stock speakers sound pretty damn good with that too :)

My Touring Wagon has the Fujitsu 6 CD stacker in the boot.

Agree that the stock stereo set-up leaves something to be desired, but I suspect that has more to do with the crappy speakers than the head unit - Fujitsu Ten actually make sublime headunits under their "Eclipse" moniker, I would think that even these stocker head units would be of a reasonable standard if coupled to decent amps/speakers via a line-out converter, which is something I'm considering.

I dislike the way that aftermarket decks tend to look completely out of place in the dash, especially in cars like the Camry where the interior is so bland to begin with...

Hmmm, I guess any sound system is only as good as its weakest link.

Maybe I'm just hoping that it's the speakers that are crap bec I really don't want to put in an aftermarket head-unit;

I actually have a terrific audiophile head-unit sitting in my garage (it's an older Eclipse flagship unit - 16V line-outs, balanced lines, digital sound processor, parametric EQ etc), I just can't decide if I am happy to lose the stock look by installing it.

And the Eclipse head-unit isn't even that blingy:

Seriously mate, the speakers are fine... mine belted out heaps better with the Mosfet 50w on each channel... PMPO of course... but hell, I know someone who has a mad-***** system in his Camry and hasn't even taken the rears out because really- they're not bad at all :P

I would however, replace the fronts if you're gettin power. I'm just saying, the Toyota CD HUs are just utter crap - look at any forum and they'll have the same answer.

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov
