Ok, I have got a 2002 Camry Sportivo (V6, Manual) (MCV36R), and soon after getting the car I removed the factory 6 disc in dash stacker and installed my Pioneer Single DIN headunit from my previous car... now this works fine, but it doesn't have bluetooth and doesn't look very factory. Is also has a fairly small screen... So I played around for a while with a carputer, I had bought a new dash surround and custom molded in a 7" touchscreen for the carputer. I also bought Centrafuse (software with GPS, media support, etc) but then just as I was ready to install the carputer I discovered Centrafuse doesn't support the iPhone... big deal breaker for me... so i've gone back to just the Pioneer headunit I've got, which does work with my iPhone via the Pioneer iPod Adaptor, but it dosen't charge it...

Now I've also been looking on eBay at the Chinese double-DIN GPS/DVD/iPod/etc headunits, but for me none of them seem to have a consistant interface, they all have a different interface for the GPS and the audio system, etc, so that's turned me off the idea of them.

So I was thinking after being in a friends new Kluger and discovering that it had iPod support, that maybe i should look at getting a newer genuine Toyota Headunit, and upon investigation, it appears I can get a genuine Toyota headunit (PZQ60-00051) which has a 4.3" colour LCD display , 6 disc in dash stacker, bluetooth, usb, ipod, and rear camera support...

Now I'm wondering if anyone had one of these headunits, or has experience with them? What is you experience with how well it talks with the iPod/iPhone? Does it read the playlists directly from the iPhone? and does it display the Song Title on the screen?

I've seen someone has managed to mod one to move the USB port to the rear of the headunit, and add RCA outs for connecting to an amp: so that's a couple of my questions answered.

I guess my final question is, does anyone have one that they have upgraded from that they want to sell?

I tried my iPhone on one at the local Toyota dealer after posting this last year, and I couldn't get it to recognise my iPhone via USB... I wondering if it was that it didn't support the newer iOS version? It worked via Bluetooth but no song title display, and you had to control the iPhone playlists via the iPhone.

Anyone had any luck with this one recently?

Apple changed how the iPhone works with iOS 4.2 - early units just show 'load'.

There is a software update that dealers can install to fix.

I think some of the newer Toyota have a specific usb port in the CAR to support your iphone/ipod.

The usb in the front of the head unit is just for a flash drive/USB stick with your mp3 already on it.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
