Hmmm... Ok, my 2003 didnt have steering controls so I didnt have to worry about that but the other plug to connect to speakers, light switch, etc fits in 100%. I would think the plugs for the steering controls would be similar too but I can't be 100% sure on that.

For your Camry though you'd need to buy some plastic parts to over the sides as the units that came with the face lifted acv40 is smaller than what you have at the moment. EDITED: just re read your original post and you are aware of this already :)

I fitted a 2010 Hilux unit into my 2003 Camry. Same wiring.

Hello. Anyone here can tell me how their rear tinting look please? Got an Atara and noticed that when I look at the rear view mirror, it doesn't look 100% clear. The side windows are ok... It's just the rear that seems to have some distortion - like if you look at a straight horizontal line (ie roof of the car behind) it doesn't look clear.

Ah OK, thanks :) I noticed that the update process for the SatNav units on the new AtaraSL/HybridL are different to the older Camry's... just hope that updating it won't be more expensive :P Considering we just bought a GPS for the wife's car for under $100 with free lifetime map updates - and this GPS unit has spoken street names, which I'm surprised that the built-in ones didn't.

Hello... just want to find out from other Camry Atara SL and Hybrid L owners what version of the map was installed in your Camry's Sat Nav unit. Was trying to locate a place here in WA the other day and it couldn't find the address. When I checked the map version, mine was dated back in July 2011. I got the car in Oct 2012 so was expecting at least a 2012 map version. Just curious....

Thanks for all the replies. Make sense now as to why the dealer said it can't be done on the Camry unless they have another button put in to turn it on/off... since the existing one only controls the rear. Just did a quick test on my Camry and the rear sensor has an on/off switch but even in on position, the rear sensor is only activated when on reverse - which makes sense but why the on/off switch I wonder?.

Hmmm... if the on/off button is for both sensors, how would you differentiate the beeps of the front and back sensors? Don't know why Toyota service say they can't install the front sensors on the Camry then?!?

Thanks!! Asking as I wanted to put front sensors on my Atara SL but was told I can't as there's no space to put an on/off switch for it. The Atara SL comes with rear sensors as standard but there's an on/off switch for it.

Hello... a simple question to all 2012 Aurion Prodigy, Presara & ZR6 owners... For the front & rear sensors of the car, how are they controlled? ie. are the rear sensors activated when the car is on reverse? there is an on/off switch inside the car, do they turn all sensors off and on or are there separate on/off switches for the front & back? Thanks in advance.

That's cool... was just wondering why they can't put the front sensor in the Atara SL when they can for the other Atara's. Also, the wiring shouldn't be an issue as the Aurion Presara & Sportivo ZR6 both have the blindspot monitor and auto diming high beam and both of those cars came with front sensors. Oh well.. just gotta get used to the car - the view feels quite different to my old 2003 Camry Sportivo. I was parking the other day and the front looks like it's quite close to the car in front but when I got out of the car, I was still quite far away :P Sorry I got it wrong. Basically the SL version has the following: Blind Spot Monitor and Automatic High Beam Rain sensing wipers and electric rear sunshade JBL premium audio system with 7" display and Satellite Navigationand SUNA™ - live traffic data updates Reverse Camerawith path prediction reference lines and auto dipping side mirrors Dual exhaust Sports driving mode with quick response paddle shift technology Power output 135kW Basically its needs more wiring for Automatic High Beams and various other electronics that it has over all the other versions of the Camry.

...which is why I found it weird that he said the front sensors CAN be installed on all the Camry range including the Atara S & SX except for the Atara SL. From what I know the Atara S & SX have fog lights, etc like the SL.

Hello... just wondering if anyone has bought the new Camry Atara SL and got front sensors installed? Asking as I was told that the front sensors can be installed on the Altise, the Atara S(&R) and the Atara SX but NOT the Atara SL due to wiring at the front bumper - which I found a bit strange.

My 2003 Camry Sportivo had central locking issues every now and again since early 2011 and the Service Dept couldnt find anything wrong with it... In Oct 2012, I had a flat battery in which I got RAC to come and have a look at it... being under warranty and the batt showing as faulty, they replaced it. Within 2 days, the battery is flat again. So they checked the charge and when idle, the alternator is doing its job but when the aircon, headlight and stereo is on, it is draining the battery quite quickly. Very strange that the batt light is not lighting up as this is a sign that the alternator is not working properly!? Anyway, had the alternator replaced and since then I noticed that the central locking is heaps more responsive so not sure if my alternator was starting to play up over 12 months ago and only really crapped itself out this month. The mechanic I spoke to from Toyota told me that they are getting quite a few Gen5 Camry's with bad alternators in the last year or so?!?!

Thanks for the tip. The strange thing is that it doesn't happen every time... it was OK for a full week last week (drove pretty much on a daily basis).. but then it happened again yesterday. Sigh...
