Wow! I feel old in this group... hehehehe...I'm 38

By the way, can I check with those who have already used the mirror link.
Is it true that when your phone is connected, this impacts your audio from other sources?
As in you cannot play any music from your USB drive or radio, if your phone is connected via mirror link?
I was told of this by a friend who drives the Honda City.

Also, I am having a problem charging my phone via the car's USB slot, as in it doesn't charge.
I read an american article on the Camry that which states:
"You may be annoyed when you find out the Camry’s USB jack cannot charge a tablet or other device drawing more than 5 watts"

Is this true? Do the rest of you guys have the same issues on charging via USB?

What phone are you using? I haven't try to connect thru mirror link. Waiting for other SIFU to share some tips here. As for USB port, I can charge thru this port with my iPhone. Haven't try to charge a tablet before though. One thing is when I charge my iPhone via the USB port, i will be able to connect my phone using IPOD mode (basically quite the same comparing connecting via bluetooth). Just that it will display your songs info when you connect via USB.

Another owner reporting in from the north. Taken delivery of the car for three weeks now doing about 3,000KM. So far so good. Fuel consumption is crazy. 46 litre can get about 600KM in Penang city driving. My CX5 skyactiv is no where near there. Taken in to KL and the FC is even better in Klang valley.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the initiative to start this thread!

Received my car on 25-April and satisfied with the FC before until I read all your previous messages here! how could some of you achieve up to 19km/L while I only manage to get 13.5km/L on city drive.... cry.gif

As for the MIRRORLINK, done some testing and google search, there is an APPS provided by Samsung called DRIVELINK for samsung phone to link to the Car-entertainment unit, unfortunately, Samsung have discontinued the update of this apps from Android KITKAT version onward.

I'm using the SGS5 with android Lollipop, Lollipop come with "mirror link" option on the setting but the JBL AVN refuse the connection despite i've try with the micro-USB 3.0 cable.

Check with SC on the first service and they don't even know what mirror link is, I think we have to raise this concern to UMWT directly and make sure to appoint a "knowledageable" support center for this AVN.

Hi guys,

DO you think the whining sound from the motor "Regenerative Braking" when braking is annoying? I understand from some PRIUS and PRIUS C owner that the sound is normal as the "by-product" of hybrid system, however, I really think UMW should provide a better soundproofing to mute out the whining sound, even though the camry range is not as luxury as the Lexus ES300h and NX300h which using the same hybrid motor + engine, but this annoying sound should be putting off from Camry as well like what LEXUS cars does!

I've complain this to the SC and on the mytoyota.com.my online survey, a UMW customer service guy called me to find out more about my complain, as expected, standard "professional" answer from them "will bring up to the technical team attention and see what they can do...".

As the first batch owner of the Camry Hybrid in Malaysia, may I request your co-operation to raise this complain to the SC on your next service? they will definitely answer you "this is regenerative braking sound which is normal for hybrid car, PRIUS also same...", please tell the SA that told you this to go and find out whether LEXUS ES300h or NX300h having the same annoying sound that can be hear clearly in the cabin.

We need LOUDER VOICE to kick UMW butt to look seriously into enhance the soundproof to mute out the motor whining sound, please help!

My toyota Altis also experience this problem.... 2.0V highest spec with 6 airbags VSC TRC

Mind me ask your situation is like when you stopped at traffic at 0km/h and accelerate your pedal to 20-50km/h.. then u can heard like whining sound from engine compartment... when u move windows a bit down u can hear the sound is quite high pitch during night time or when u drive on straight road during no cars....

or ur whining sound is different?... and all camry hybrid are affected?

Hi,

The sound is not on high pitch, it's hard to describe in word, let me try to "spell" it out here... it's sound like "uuuuuuuuhhmmm...." when brake gradually from 40kmh to near standstill / standstill, especially on slowing down on the speed bump, slowing down when approaching traffic light, it's sound like the star-war space ship landing.
