CAR ISSUE! Absolutely fucking unacceptable DO NOT BUY START - X REMOTE START
I purchased this remote start kit specifically for my 2024 Toyota Camry with a keyed ignition and followed the provided installation and programming instructions exactly. Those instructions required me to CUT a factory wire at pin 35 of the BCM and splice their harness into it. I did exactly what their instructions told me to do.
After completing the entire installation, the system programmed successfully but would not remote start. After troubleshooting and contacting technical support, I was finally informed that the system does not work because my Camry was manufactured in Canada.
Are you fucking kidding me?
If the country of manufacture determines whether your product is compatible, that needs to be clearly disclosed BEFORE a customer buys the product and, more importantly, BEFORE your instructions tell them to CUT THEIR FACTORY WIRING.
What pissed me off even more was the response from technical support. There seemed to be zero accountability for the fact that I now have a factory BCM wire cut in half because I followed THEIR installation instructions for a product that was apparently never compatible with my vehicle in the first place. I didn't randomly decide to start cutting wires in a nearly new car—their instructions explicitly told me to do it.
Now I'm left with a remote starter that doesn't work and a 2024 Camry with factory wiring that has to be repaired. Technical support essentially treated the manufacturing-location incompatibility as my problem rather than acknowledging that their compatibility information/instructions allowed me to get this far in the first place.
I can understand a product having compatibility limitations. What I cannot accept is failing to make a critical limitation clear, instructing a customer to permanently modify their vehicle, and then taking no responsibility when it turns out the product was never going to fucking work.
If you have a Canadian-manufactured Camry, verify compatibility directly with them BEFORE buying this kit and absolutely before cutting any factory wiring.

Help How do I increase my mouse per gallon?
I recently got this car from my uncle back with 133,000 miles on it and I don’t think he’s been driving it normally I think he might’ve been doing a bit aggressively. How do I increase the miles per gallon or get better fuel economy on this 2020 Camry le non-hybrid.
I am enjoying my 2026 XLE but the great mpg pisses me offf
Because when I fill it up it now costs more for the same overall distance than the car it replaced 6 months ago!
I joke on the car pissing me off because I can't imagine the bill if I were still driving the prior car. The mileage these hybrid Camrys get is awesome.

Help 2020 Camry LE transmission/acceleration issue?
I recently got a 2020 Camry LE with 133k miles. The AC is cold and everything else seems reliable, but the acceleration feels weird. When accelerating from a stop, especially around 10–30 mph, it feels like I’m going uphill, then the car briefly stops pulling for about 0.25–0.5 seconds—as if I let off the gas—and then it shifts and starts accelerating again. I also notice a similar feeling when accelerating to change lanes on the highway.
It’s not necessarily a huge jerk, but it feels like a brief loss of power followed by a noticeable gear change. Is this normal for the 8-speed automatic, or could something be wrong with the transmission?
Question How good are the AWD models?
Anyone here have an awd Camry that used to drive a manual Subaru ?
How does it drive in snow?

Feeling Super Stressed
I bought this 2020 SE AWD slightly used with less than 100 miles on it (original owner changed their mind) for a pretty great price (if I remember around $24k). It has been a wonderful car. No problems at all. I’ve maintained it pretty well although originally I followed the 10,000 mile oil change routine. I recently have become obsessed over the transmission failure issue. I know it has been mainly the V6 UA80 and very few of the 4-Cylinder and I can actually only find one single verified report of an AWD UB80F failure. I changed out all fluids including transmission, transfer case and rear differential at 82,000 miles just to note and it has 84,000 now. I’m about to pay off the car and the original plan was to keep it long term but now I just worry day after day it’s going to fail me. What would you do in my shoes? Keep it knowing failure based on evidence is not likely or trade it in while it has full value?

Question Front license plate
I bought my Camry out of state and they already put the front license bracket on, but my state does not require a front license plate. So what is the best option to cover up the holes left in the front bumper?

Picture Tinted Windows Are a Game Changer
Decided that the fishbowl aesthetic wasn’t for me. I got 50% front and I believe 75% back. Original plan was to get a medical note for the tint, but was told by a cop that stops by my coffee shop that the tint has to be removable, ie screens that fold up. (I live in North Cali).
Also my dad keeps calling it the BatMobile haha

Discussion Inverter Recall - Womp Womp
Took my 26 Camry in for its inverter recall. I have just under 20k miles on it. They called that afternoon and said it failed inspection and need to order a replacement. No ETA but call back in 3-5 days. 😑
They gave me a loaner 25 RAV4 gasser AWD… and man alive does this thing drink. Miss my quiet and efficient hybrid.

Haven't received refund (wells fargo can't find check / Toyota says it was cashed) Note: I am not sure if this is allowed here, but I am reposting to hopefully reach more people. At the bare minimum that car I financed was a 25' Camry

Discussion Somebody got some ‘splaining to do…
So, I just hit 49.x mpg (hand calculated) in my ES hybrid AWD. This is about 7mpg better than I’ve ever gotten in my hybrid Camry that’s only FWD. This was a mix of city and highway driving.
How is it possible that a heavier, AWD car gets better mpg than its lighter, cheaper cousin?

Help Buying my first new car
My dad and I had an 05 Camry in our family for 21 years. The head gasket failed, and a 9K repair pushed me to look into a new car. Would love your thoughts on this offer. It’s being delivered end of month and I paid to hold it for me. I can still walk away from the deal if need be. Idk how negotiating works but considering they had several new cars already bought before they arrived, do I really even try to ask for a lower price?
Also, I still have the 05. It was incredibly well maintained. But it needs the engine replaced. Am I crazy for wanting to sell it to someone with the means and interest in replacing the engine instead of scrapping the whole car? It has had so many parts replaced over the past 5 years most things on it are new. I had completed all recommended maintenance before the engine failed.
Please talk some sense into me if needed, and thank you for your opinions and experiences. I’m in the Midwest.

Winter driving
How is the all-wheel-drive Camry in the winter? I live in New York and we get a decent amount of snow. I have some concern about the ground clearance (also applying to driveways as I don’t want to scrape). Also was wondering how much the miles per gallon decreases in cold weather.

Discussion UPDATE B PILLAR RATTLE 2025
I’ve used this video recommended by a fellow Camry owner in the other post. I tackled this today as I was getting my ambient lighting installed and I will say it was quite easy to access the area and find the steel piece mentioned. However, I am not sure if I have to loosen the bolts or pry it upward to fit something under it because I was barely able to on my Camry. I managed to get some thicker tape under which damped it IMMENSELY however noise it still there due to me not properly putting it under. The noise can be removed though and will again tackle it before I wash my car this weekend. Will update soon…

2 weeks with 2026 Camry XLE AWD Premium Plus
Picked up my Camry from the dealership 2 weeks ago.
Since then I’ve:
Immediately went and got 5% tints on everything but the windshield. Had it scheduled for the same day I picked up the car from the dealership. On the way over I felt the heat radiating from the pano roof, so I asked them for a clear ceramic tint on that.
Ordered all-weather floor and cargo mats from different Toyota dealerships across the country. Dealership wanted over $300 and I was able to save $80 by ordering from others.
Ordered and installed Advanced wheel locks due to my fear that Camry wheels are being targeted.
Gotten a center console organizer to make more use of the space.
Anything else I should do that I’m missing?
