Hi

I recently traded in our old 97 and 98 model camrys to a car yard on a newer 07 Altise and 07 Sportivo.

I've only just realised that I had 2 additional spare remote zappers (black single button / oval type) for the old cars sitting in a storage drawer.

My question is can they be reused/recycled/reset to suit our newer cars, or are they really of no use to us and therefore throw them out or drop them in to the caryard where our trade-ins went.

Any feedback would be great

Cheers

Peter

The two old camry 97 and 98 remotes are on the left and the remote for the 2007 sportivo is on the right.

Can I reprogram these old remotes to work on the later model sportivo?

Can it be done DIY? If so , can someone let me know the procedure. I have seen a couple of suggestions on the forum (which I quickly but unsuccessfully tried - may need to try again) but I'm unsure they are applicable for the 07 model.

Cheers

Hey mate.

I don't think the old remote work with your 2007 sprotivo.

You could try to reprogramm with your new car tho.

If you want to purchase another remote for your 2007 sportivo, it may cost about $250 for brand new from toyota parts department.

I got quoted that price when I was looking for spare remote for my aurion.

However, if you are lucky enough, you could find one from ebay.

I've bought my spare remote for $25(not 100% sure but less than $30 for sure) from ebay.

If you're looking for one for your spare, make sure the remote is for CAMRY not for Aurion.

The remote for Aurion 2007and Camry2007 look same but they are not compatiable.

You can see the pic below. If you open the back panel of the remote, you can see the difference between Aurion remote and Camry remote.

(Left one is for Aurion and right one is for Camry)

Go and try ebay before you buy it from TOYOTA.You can find the remote programming from google.

Try camry 2007 remote program.

the steps like turning the key to ignition and off and several door openning.

Good luck.

does anyone know how much it costs to get the battery replaced?

You can just buy a battery from woolworth or coles and replace it?

it only costs about $10 for battery i guess.

If you're not sure what battery your remote uses, just open up the back panel and check.

it's not hard to do it at all.

      Canning Prado or 200

      Hi All Just joined - trying to decide between a Prado or 200 for the CSR next year. l'll be a single in the car in a group of 5 vehicles. Not owing. I appreciate whatever I get will need some mods. And I know I am on the Prado Club forum but I am hoping for some unbiased opinion! The Prado needs to carry less fuel which is a big advantage but what I am more concerned about is whether it is rugged enough. Any thoughts and especially experience, much appreciated! Regards to all. Chris

      2002 Door Handle Issue

      Unusual problem. Driver's side external door handle would not function with window in fully closed position. Would function with window open around 12mm. Removed door trim - visual inspection showed plastic clip at top of one of the actuating rods had become unclipped and was being hit by the metal rail on the bottom of the window glass when the window neared fully closed. Easiest solution was to apply Loctite Extreme Glue to clip and re-attach it to the rod. Fingers crossed it stays attached.

      2ZR Turbo

      How did this project finish up mate , any issues creep up? Im thinking of the same upgrades, but, I have a question around the registration. Here in NSW you cant turbo without it being offered as an original option. Did ypu get an engineer sigh off?

      Hi everyone, new member here. We have two Toyotas, a 2016 Corolla 2ZR-FE and a 2016 Yaris NCP130R. My dad was a huge Holden fan...I've broken that tradition and have become a huge Toyota fan myself! I do a lot of my own maintenance and repairs on our Toyotas where possible so look forward to sharing knowledge and learning even more from the community. Cheers.

      Camry 2007 Electrical Question

      Hi all, New member here. Got couple of issue with a 2007 Camry Altise. The clock/Speed alert screen doesn't work on the dash. It turn on/off periodically. Sometimes it will never turn on, sometimes it turns on for few hours. Does anyone know what could be the issue? Second issue is the horn is not working, checked the plugs they're all good. The screen wheel buttons work except horn. Pressing the find the car button the remote makes the horn go off. But I couldn't get the alarm go off (locked the car and opened the door from window). Any ideas where else I could look? Thanks in advance.
