I worked out I wasn't doing it fast enough.. When it says turn off/on 20 times in 20 secs it really means freakishly fast. Took multiple tries to get it to work but managed to program the remote.

I purchased a new remote for my 2005 Corolla ZZE122R. However, I can't seem to get the car to enter remote programming mode. I've followed the instructions in the pdf on this thread Getting up to step 5, where the vehicle indicators don't flash at all. I've tried it 6 times by now, varying the speed which I turn the ignitiion on and off, and the time before I insert the key. No luck =(. Anyone have any ideas?

You have your terminology slightly wrong. Xcarlink uses the CD Changer port on the back of a headunit, which isn't exactly the same as an AUX port (at least not a 3.5mm aux port). Having said that, your Corolla's headunit should have a CD Changer port at the back, and should be compatible with Xcarlink. Pictures of your headunit would help however.

Okay.. So how do you get the old headunit out?

Okay, so the face of these new headunits are flat and not angled? Does anyone know at all how to go about taking the old headunit out? Saj - How much are you selling the headunit for? oldfart18 - I believe the headunit doesnt come with a lock code stored on it at factory. However, it it's asking you for the code and you don't know it, I would ask Toyota direct.

Currently have an 05 Corolla Ascent, with the standard MP3/CD Double Din headunit. I was planning to, sometime in the distant future, change it to an all in one GPS/DVD/MP3/Bluetooth type unit. In the meantime however, I was thinking of changing the headunit to the newer Toyota type. The ones which come with the new corollas. Either the standard http://cgi.ebay.com.au/TOYOTA-CD-MP3-SINGL...A1%7C240%3A1318 Or the Bluetooth/Six Stacker CD http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Toyota-Bluetooth-6-...A1%7C240%3A1318 I believe even the newer standard headunit would suit my needs better as it has an Aux in, which I can use with my iPod. I believe this should give me better sound quality then an FM transmitter? So I was wondering if these newer headunits will fit properly and function in my older corolla? Is it easy to install, and does anyone have any instructions? Also, would it look alright? These units don't have any curves or slants in the fascia or anything which would make them look funny in an older corolla do they? Are the edges of the fascia straight? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
