Hi guys, new to this forum so hope I am doing it right.

Anyway just bought my Camry MY2016 and very happy with the car except for the basic interior.

I really want Apple Car Play in the car so looking to replace the headunit, is there anyone here that already did

that and is happy with the transformation?

Also I am very anal about how it looks as I don't want to look cheap.. (so a perfect assembly)

Hope somebody can advise me !

Welcome to the forum Hans, depending on if your installing it your self or if you want to have it installed..I would recommend finding the unit you want first then shop around for best price..there are so many head unit's available right now so I am sure you will find one you like..plus the surround to fill the gap of the old unit and if you have any steering wheel controls a harness as well....personally i don't touch anything to do with electronics these days so I got our's fitted by Monster car Audio who did a first rate job..Good Luck let us know the outcome

Thanks for your reply! I know that there are a few different ones on the market, but I hoped to find somebody who already chose one and is happy with the result. I found a nice Pioneer unit but the harness which was needed looked very cheap to me. It's a bit of money to spend so I want it to be good :)!

YW Hans, I am sure some will reply if they have done the head unit change, i agree with your statement about having a cheap harness mounted to an expensive head unit, always worth the extra money for something reliable and robust..hope some answer your request soon, I like Pioneer products as have had several and always found them excellent units..this time around i went with Clarion as i liked its features and have not looked back since having it fitted

Good Luck and let us know how this turns out for you

Keep Well and Keep Safe

Hans, I haven't changed the factory unit on my wife's 2013 yet (it's planned, though!), but changed it on my 2008 with a Sony XAV-AX5000 and can't be happier with the result. You're absolutely right to look at established brands, I wouldn't recommend going for a crappy joying, eonon or similar, even if they promise you twelve cores CPU, the latest and greatest Android and support for zillions of apps, as a car headunit they're rubbish. Buy a proper one from Pioneer, Alpine, Clarion, Sony or Kenwood and it'll run trouble free and last much longer.

Go on the Aerpro website, select your car and the desired headunit and it should return the components you need. Then go online and find the best price for the kit. Or go into an auto store, give them the details and see what they can do for you. If you're not tempted to diy you can also go to a specialised store like e.g. Street Sound Vision we have in Melbourne and check their offer which includes installation, shortlist the ones with good reviews and recommended by other clients, word of mouth goes a long way😉

      Boot Dimensions?

      Hi All, Greetings from the UK. I wondered if any kind folk could help me out. I am trying to get hold of some measurements for the boot/trunk of later model Fortuners. Does any know the height, min width (between the stowed 3rd seats) and the min depth from the 2nd row seat backs to the tailgate? Trying to work out if I can get all my luggage on board before I travel. Hope someone can help. Cheers KP

      2007 - Floor mat

      Original mats but in sandstone colour but you could possibly get them dyed a different colour. https://www.nunawadingtoyotaparts.com.au/toyota-camry-sandstone-carpet-mats-set-from-2006-t

      2007 - floor mats

      Hi. I am just reposting this here from the Camry section just in case the broader community might be able to help. I have a 2007 Grande which is still in good nick, except for the drivers floor mat. Normally it wouldn't be a problem to replace the floor mat but because it has the word CAMRY embroidered into the floor mat, I would like to replace it with the same again. I'm feeling reasonably confident that a Toyota dealership would just laugh at a request for another factory one so my question is, is it even still possible to locate an embroidered floor mat for my 17 year old car? If so, where? Or is there a business that will replicate the original?

      Front parking sensors

      We have a 2021 VX Prado with Toyota bullbar that is the doing same thing, the dealer did a patch under warranty which made no difference. The dealer now says they fixed it under warranty (by doing the patch) and there is nothing else they can do so if we want them to keep looking at it we will be paying for it. That is not our understanding of how warranty works and will be taking this matter further.

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Hi. My 2008 Rav 4 cruise control has not worked since I’ve owned it. When the on button on the stalk is pressed nothing happens, not green cruise dash light or anything. Previously, I’ve had a problem when the ABS, VSC and parking brake light all turned on but that was fixed by a brake light switch replacement. But the cruise still does not work. I’ve checked all the fuses and all are good. Is this a common issue and does anyone know why it’s happening. thanks

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Hello everyone, I'm sure there would have to be someone with the same topic but I'm looking for a good head unit for my wife's 2014 RAV4 with Apple CarPlay that wirelessly connects to the phone and has set up so she can connect steering wheel controls and still use her reverse camera, any suggestions please? Thank you so much everybody!
