G'day I am looking for CD/mp3 player to fit my Camry 02(MCV36) Wonder any cheap but good quality on the market? I prefer the one which i can plug my USB thumb in and play directly. Any bro can suggest the brand and model and approx price? Also if you guys have ur old one for sale, I am happy to buy your 2nd hand player too:) Ken

This is pretty much I get too.. I also realise the fuel gauge give unreliable reading, i can run 300km everytime when it point to the half, which make me think it can run 600km. but it goes to red light very quick.

I finally got a new remote control Toyota really have different price!!! I went to sydney Glebe one, they charge the remote control for $64 + $60 for the programming service, need appointment for programming service (few days)!!!! I ended up went to Artamon one, they only charge me $65 for the remote and no extra charge for the service, and they program my new remote straight after i purchased. and the whole programming process only took 30sec Call different toyota and quoate the price!!!!

I dun think you can DIY, as it is waterproof sealed remote. cheapest way is to get a new remote from deal, cost about $6x if you are in sydney. I heard that you can programme yourself, otherwise dealer will charge you another $6x you can see my previous post regarding the remote control, i asked the similar question.:)

hey andrew, i was looking at your other post abt ur mod sportivo and ur youtube, your car rocks! really nice :)

I know this sort of post always appear on the forum, but I would like to compare more specific with MCV36R Owner about your avg fuel consumption. I got my camry like 5 months ago. my dash reading always give around 13.xL/100Km, but my manual fillup calculations are usually between >11.5 to 12.7L/100Km I think I am a lightfooted driver unless I am mad with sth. 80%...<70km zone sydney road, always involve slight slope. 20%...>70km zone 40% of time A/C on these few weeks I use either 95% or 98% patrol most of them time Mobil or Shell What is yours? :)

Thanks all for comments mate!! I assume the machanic wont give the best of the best, instead, giving the average oil so both Andrew and Zeinheiger got your points. In this case I seemed payed him around $100 for labor fee, if this amt is the average, he's got a good income job!

Hi Ken again here, Just wondering if anyone know how much around would the service be if the following has been done: 1) Engine Oil change 2) Transmittion oil change 3) resetting the handbreak thing (i saw him did sth on the left rear wheel disc with a screw driver ) 4) pink slip (to renew my rego) 5) changing 2 of the rear light bulbs he charged me $260, coz this machanic is a friend of my good friend, he didnt write me an invoice listing the service description and i didnt ask for it. Ken

hey nick I did the similar quote too, i rang and asked toyota sales department at artamon and glebe, they are all about $6x not including programming. I think those shoe/repair place i asked they include everything but $1xx It would be great if Rob can post the programming instruction too:) Ken

Hey Rob Thats awesome, thx for your information. I live in sydney too. I actually asked about it at a shoe repair/key cut shop and they are gonna charge me $80!! sucks I will go to toyota Thanks Ken

Hi Bob, Really? this is cool!!! if they are about the price u mentioned i will prob buy it thru toyoto. so do I just need to pop in any toyota dealer and ask for the remote? or I need to go to specific toyota shop? My remote is one buttoned, is that possible to programme to 2 button remote? Thanks heapp for your information Ken

Ya, i have been looking up on the net (also ebay), seem this 2002 Altise model doesnt really have a remote to replace.

Hi I am new here, just bought my camry 2002 v6. The previous owner gave me 2 set of original factory keys and remotes controls. 1 of the remote control loss its rubber button, so im using the other set. But it seems this rubber is wearing off and gonna distach soon too. is it normal for these remote button to fall off that easily? or just am i pressing too hard? Can i replace the rubber part? or is it possible to get a new remote control? in either case, expensive? Thanks
