  1. Just tried it. Didn't seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
  2. Thanks. I'll try it and see what happens. I did since have to buy a new car battery as my old one went flat. Maybe the old battery getting old caused the problem?
  3. I have a 2018 Camry SL Petrol. Until a few months ago the lines in the display for the reversing camera were animated. Now they’ve stopped being animated and an exclamation mark in a diamond is in the top right corner of the display. I’ve tried looking in the instruction manual to try and change it back to being animated but I haven’t found how too. Does anybody here know how to do this? I don’t know if this is coincidental, but I had a new car battery installed yesterday. Still no change to the reverse camera display. Could it be from some software update?
  4. I got it fixed at a panel repairer. Works fine now.
  5. I’m taking it to a repairer in the morning.
  6. It’s in an awkward position. Should I use sticky tape or something to position it?
  7. Hi. I have a 2018 Camry SL, 4 cylinder automatic. Today, the rear left proximity sensor started to constantly make the sound while I'm in reverse. It's displaying the red icon in my dashboard. Could it be something that needs cleaning off the sensor? How can I find the sensor? If I need a repair, how much might it cost? I'm in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. Also, would the other sensors work normally in the meantime? EDIT: I notice some circular disk-like plug in the left of the rear bumper bar is loose and sitting slightly inside the bumper bar. Is that related? Thanks.
  8. I have a 2018 Camry SL 4 cylinder, which I bought new from a Toyota dealer. For the first five years it was serviced once a year by the Toyota dealer, under capped price servicing. Now, after the five years is up, it is no longer under capped price servicing and it will be changed to twice a year. Is it normal for the servicing, after the first five years, to be done twice a year by the dealer? Or would a different Toyota dealership still do it once a year? My 2018 Camry SL has done 31,822 km. I once asked somebody if it would be cheaper to get it serviced at Ultratune but I was told it's safer for warranty issues to have it done by the dealer. Is that true? My last service, under capped price servicing, was $195 and my next service is expected to be $763.
  9. Hi. I don't know what this looks like as I haven't seen it yet. I have had my electronic key batteries replaced before they got really flat. I just want to know what the alert in the dashboard looks like so I know what to look out for. If anybody has a picture or can point to a web page that shows this I'd be interested to see it. Thanks.
  10. I normally buy my petrol (95 RON) from either Caltex or Mobil. I’ve never bought petrol from Costco, although I did recently get Costco membership. Admittedly, the queues of cars I’ve seen going into the Costco fuel station seem really massive. I don’t know if I’d have the patience. Maybe I should just save money by not buying so many coffees?
  11. I’ve realised the title of my thread is no longer accurate. I’ve owned my Camry for about 14 months now and it’s done less than 12,000 kilometers.
  12. It’s good for my needs. It’s something you’d need to decide for yourself with a test drive.
  13. It's quite simply the best car I've ever owned. It might have a couple of niggles, but every car has those. The lid for the storage between the 2 front seats opens in a awkward manner, but you get used to it. It doesn't have Apple Carplay but I'm OK with that. I'm yet to find out when the subscription for the Navigation starts needing to be paid. I just have to remember to chase that up with Toyota. I must remember to see about getting the Maps updated, there's been the odd occasion when the Navigation has given me strange directions. But, really, I've got no real complaints.
