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....

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!

try to read the MAP micro-SD card using my PC and seem like the card is encrypted, can't read the content of the card... how do you know that it is Navitech?

I don't think we can do that, let me check again on the manual tonight.

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.

test drive car having the sound as well.

In both of our cases, we shouldn't compromise on this, UMW still have to rectify or to improve on their product as this "unusual" sound shouldn't happen, they should put in a little more effort / cost to get it resolve, ask them why the competitor product -- Honda civic, elantra, mazda3, kia k3..etc doesn't have this sound but toyota altis has it?

it's more on the business etiquette and responsibility to the consumer when come to the quality of the product, I'm sure Toyota co. in Japan would be very interested hear the complain and get it resolved, but, UMW might only emphasizing on the money-making side.... we should sound it out to UMW and don't get them "pampered" by us.

Hi Lexanoir,

poison to one is the cure to another

Appreciate if you could file the complain to help the person like me that really cannot tahan, and cannot afford to buy the LEXUS...

good luck to u then

Hi Blacktubi,

thanks for the info, but, the sound of the camry hybrid is not the CVT whine but the motor "regenerative braking" sound, the motor turn opposite way to act as a dynamo for recharging the battery.

for toyota vehicle, CKD shah alam have better build quality than CBU from Thailand and Indonesia, according to some toyota SC fella...

This is my first toyota and need longer run to observe on the quality, just hope that the CKD toyota gv me less headache than my previous CKD honda accord

agreed!

Bought in year 2005, following problems start to strike on the 4th year:

1. Power Steering pump leakage
2. AirCond Compressor - twice
3. AirCond Condensor (Coil)
4. Steering Rack Oil Leakage
5. Alternator
6. Oxygen censor
7. SRS Airbag Electronic Control chips board
8. Gearbox
9. crank shaft pulley seal oil leakage
10. a few unidentified oil leakage from engine block till the day i sold it off...

nope. both are for low beam, the high beam is normal projector lamp bulb.

dual LED projector headlamp is bright enough that usage of high beam is almost not required

any one here try to "Android Auto" apps to connect android phone to toyota camry AVN?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?....gearhead&hl=en

you can download the apps from play store, unfortunately only AT&T, Verizon and another carrier of SGS5 and SGS4 with Android 5.0 and above is supported, but not my SGS5 with local firmware...

I have the same issue on the rear lamp at the first few week of ownership, complained to SC on first service but no water seem inside at that moment, try to check out once in a while after that, seem like no more water got in... will keep on observing frequently.

I'm using the Nilkin "Snap on" Qi wireless receiver card on my SGS 5 and it work perfectly.

1K service with Oil filter change
5k service NO oil filter change

RM30 extra for the oil filter
