I changed mine the other month on my 2000, not sure how different the process is but i found that the easiest way is to take it out form the bottom and just pull towards u, you have to be careful not to break it tho. And if you do end up using a screw driver tape it so that you dont scratch the trim. You also will probably need a wiring harness, you can get these from super cheap auto.

Go to installdr.com and put in 92 to 95 Camry, all the steps and pics are there for you. Very easy, and dont forget to get the wiring harness, your brand head unit to Toyoya wiring from Super cheap etc, cost around $20. It took me 15 mins. to remove old and install new unit. POP!!! :yahoo:

i got the same camry. word for changing the tape deck. i got rid of mine ages ago. a tape converter is ok but time to move onward and upward with technology ey? all u need is a flat screwdrive in the bottom left or right corner. u can tape it if u want but ive upgraded and moved my system heaps of times without taping it and it hasnt damaged anything. lever twds ur body and it'll pop out that corner. do the same with the opposite bottom corner and once both clips are out, it'll just swing off once u lift it. there are 4 screws that hold in the bracket to the player. once u drop those 4, it should pull out easy enough. wat out for the cables. as mentioned b4, u might need an adapter depending on how ur HU is set up. ive always needed one so if u do, u can shoot to supercheap and snap one up pretty cheap. wat kinda HU u got lined up? is it a double DIN unit?

hope the info helps

cheers

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER throw away your original equipment audio head unit, and NEVER simply cut the wires aft of the installed wiring. As others have stated, there are a myriad of aftermarket wiring loom adapter kits for every make of car & stereo so cutting the wires is simply not on. Keeping the original equipment head unit allows you to keep your preferred after market unit if/when you sell the car, re-installing the original, even if it doesn't function, makes the console look so much more attractive than a gaping hole with wires showing.

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi Reece, I've been trying to reply to this post, but for some reason the site wouldn't let me. On one of my morning walks, with my dogs, there is a Hi Lux tub sitting on the nature strip. I know nothing about it, except that I think the owner could well sell it, but hasn't. I will attach a photo for you, and if you are interested I will email you the address, if you PM me with it. Note that it is in Geelong, Victoria, maybe a good reason to visit. . Herb

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Fitting on the headlight bulb appears to be the usual twist to release and lock. Definitely do not try to brute force the removal because you will definitely break something like the headlight housing. Suggest that you use some WD-40 and have a real good look at the existing bulb using a mirror and a good light source. Then have a few wiggles attempts to loosen the existing bulb so it can then be removed. If this does not work, then time to be smart and not stubborn. Far better to pay a $15 fitting fee than the exorbitant cost to replace a damaged headlight assembly.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.
