As is always the case, there's something about any new car which you don't notice until after you've bought it. It's never a dealbreaker, but something you certainly miss from the last car, and wonder why it wasn't included in the new one. I've discovered that my recently acquired shiny new (2007) Camry doesn't have any additional inputs beyond the standard AM/FM/CD functionalities. No one seems to have the same question and/or problem, or else I'm using the wrong search terms. To me, my options appear to be (preferably) add these inputs and/or find a way to integrate them to the current (stock) head unit, or (less preferable) go all out and find a way to replace the whole thing. It's not a modular set up like previous cars I've had (slot in/slot out) but appears to be more integrated into the front console, as newer cars seem to be going these days. I've run across similar doovalackies to this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Aux-input-Adapter-MP3-Radio-Interface-for-Toyota-Camry-Corolla-4Runner-C9O4-/131843828079?fits=Make%3AToyota but they appear to take the place of the CD input, being an 'either/or' scenario. I'd like to keep the CD player if possible. Any ideas out there? Thanks, Fritterburner

Hi all, Newbie here. Just recently bought a 2007 manual Camry Sportivo after relegating the previous '97 Camry to the farm as its new hack. The old one has been faithful so far, having 320k on it and still happy to do the rounds. Alas, the crank seal is starting to go in it (some idiot with my initials didn't do it at the same time as the recent timing belt) and I didn't have the heart or motivation to get to it just for that. A bit sad, but the current hack ('95 Apollo) shares the same engine and we're looking at dropping it in as a direct replacement. (Any potential issues with this? As usual, we probably won't know until halfway through the conversion....) It'll have 100k less on it and should be good to go for a while longer yet. The new one? At 10 years new and with 140k on it, it's the freshest car I've ever bought and I'm looking forward to keeping it for some time yet. Very interested to see how far it will go, looked after properly. Joined up to see if there's any tips and tricks I can learn off everyone to keep the car in good nick and potentially make it more of a pleasure to drive. Looking forward to getting to know you. Cheers, Fritterburner
