Hi, Has anyone successfully used the odbii port on this car to connect to a program like torque to get vehicle stats? If so, how? I have tried using one of the generic elm 327 bluetooth dongles, but as soon as it is inserted the abs light flashes. I had read online that this may be due to pin 14 and the dongle interffering with the can bus on that port (some people had reccomended disconnecting pin 14) no idea if that information is correct although. I have also tried asking toyota what coms protocol the vehicle uses for odb2 but it apppears they have no idea what their own vehicle uses. I believe it uses some variant of the can bus. vot

Hi guys, I have a problem with my car and I cant find a solution for it. Before, when I lock the car, the indicators usually flash once to let me know the car is locked; and flash twice with a sound when I unlock the car. Now, after I took it to the Toyota dealer a month or 2, the indicators do not flash when I lock the car anymore. However, they still flash twice when the car is unlocked. I have done a bit of research and some said it may be the bonnet, or boot, or doors arent closed properly. I have checked everything and I cant seem to find what is the problem. My friend said it may be disabled by the Toyota dealer for some reasons but I am not sure if that was the case. Is there anyone have the same issue - thanks :)

The casing around my gear shifter (automatic car) is broken, so i decided to get a new one from the wreckers.. whilst trying to remove the gear knob so i could easily slide the old housing off and slide the new housing on i've realised that the Overdrive cord actually goes up into it the knob and therefore even though i can pull the knob off it will only go so far as the cord is attached inside of it to the button.. any ideas? do i really have to replace the whole gearstick ect just for a little bit of housing? is there somewhere i can just disconnect the o/d cord from temporarily just so i can get this little bit of plastic over my gearshifter? Picture of the broken casing so everyone knows what i'm talking about lol

Hi gents, I've currently got a problem with my Toyota Camry 2005 Altise (ACV36R), When driving home the other day, I noticed that the power to my head unit would switch off, then back on. Once the headlights were turned on, the radio cut out as well. When I arrived home, and turned the car off, I was unable to start it again. I checked and found that I had less than 10V across the battery terminals (which were extremely corroded). The battery is now 6 years old. Given the age of the battery, I decided to replace it with a new battery, and clean the corrosion on the leads. Now the car starts fine, but I'm not seeing an increase in voltage across the battery terminals when the car is running (even at 2000RPM). It's just slowly dropping, which is leading me to believe the alternator is damaged. However, there is no battery fault lamp indicator (the bulb is fine - lights up on startup). I've done a diode test of the alternator. No issue found. I've done a continuity check from the alternator to the positive post of the battery terminal. No issue found. I've sourced an alternator for $250. Just wanted to get any other ideas here before I commit to purchasing it. The only reason I'm holding back from getting one, is that there is no battery warning lamp; which I would expect to see if there was a charging problem... Appreciate any help. Thanks Sean

hi everyone, i purchased a 2006 late model camry about a month ago now. It had 160000km on the clock and a full service history from the previous owner. The car has been faultless until now where i had noticed that the battery light and the abs light had turned on randomly after a short drive. i have installed an aftermarket bluetooth system, put in reverse sensors and led lights in the footwells, im not sure if they have had an impact on the battery light turning on. has anyone had any similar issues or know why this has happened? thanks

Hi all, My 2003 Camry Altise clock, automatic gear shift lights and climate control lights don't turn on. Now all that I have tried is checking the instrument panel fuses to see if any had blew out but they are all fine. There has been a few times where they would all work fine but this only lasts until I turn the car is completely off. The lights and clock haven't turned on for about a month now and was wondering if anyone had a solution to this? Thanks!

Guys, I need a set of 16" or preferably 17" alloys for a 2003 Altise. Can't find anything decent. There were Vortex 17" wheels for Sportivo before, but I went to dealership today and they told me it is discontinued. Which is not surprising of course, given its age. What my best bet is? If somebody bought wheels for Gen5 recently, please recommend.

Well, sorry that my first post goes directly to bother all of you, although I guess that's the idea with this forum. The main reason I join "ToyotaOwnersClub" was to find answers as I just got a Camry Altise 2003 from a very good friend, who had it crashed last November 2013. I think I got a real bargain despite some people told me that repairing this car is going to end up a little bit expensive. this car requires to change its dual airbags as the crash was critical on the passenger's side as can be seen in the attached photos. I already asked for quotations for the front bumper and its front support bar Regarding the dual airbags I've been googling and found a lot of valuable information on how to DIY However I'd appreciate additional advice from this forum members who eventually would have dealt with similar situations For example, I was told that the sensors (which for me look in perfect condition), require to be replaced Additionally the Airbags Module Control require to be reset which can only be done by using a expensive reader or such But maybe the most critical issue I'm facing is how to straighten the crushed passenger's side chassis beam as shown in the photos I know common sense would say, "why not to take the car to the panel beaters?" - for which I must say, as I live on an island, I am hoping to fix it by myself unless that definitely I won't be able to find either the appropriate tools and /or other components. Anyway, this is part of my story with my new "used" Camry Altise 2003 I will truly appreciate and thank all your considerate answers and help.

as per topic..white color required. Mine got stolen..
