View 1 RepliesI'd like my mother to switch to the Prius we have to drive to and from work, but her vision is not perfect and she has trouble reading the very small indicators on the digital dash such as D, N, R, etc. Any rectangular magnifier lens or glass that could enlarge the view of the display?

View 21 RepliesAttempting to install the rheostat headlight leveling switch I somehow managed to blow out the entire dash lighting.
The two white wires next to the brown one touched each other and made the dash flicker on. Now it doesn't want to turn on at all. I replaced fuse 11 and 15 and that did not luck.
I would like to install a usb power cord that would somehow run out from the front of my dash (near the windshield). How difficult is this and have others on this site done it (links)? I would like to route the wire to either my GPS or cell phone mount and not take up a cigarette lighter plug.
View 1 RepliesA spring popped out of the door pocket in the driver side door when someone tried to clean it pulling it out (which they shouldn't have done). I have the two springs but I need a diagram on how to open the door to get inside the panel to put it back. How the door comes apart ? I can try to guess but you know there is always a trick.

View 9 RepliesOver the past couple weeks sometimes when i turn my car on it wont rev above 3100 rpm in any gear. The car is a 5-speed jetta 8v 2.0 and I'm just looking for any insight as to what is causing this problem. My check engine light is on and i had the codes read and there was a bunch, "catalyst system below threshold bank 1", " ignition coil A,B,C,D circuit primary/secondary malfunction", and "camshaft position sensor "A" circuit high input". I'm not sure if these codes are related to the problem but i had to have the whole top end of my engine rebuilt not even a year ago and all of the ignition coils and sparkplugs were replaced during that time.
This problem does not occur every time i turn the car on however, i did notice that sometimes when i go to turn the car on instead of the car starting in quickly, it will start hard after sever cranks and this is usually when i have this issue. it is very weird almost like there is a rev limiter on and i can usually fix the problem if i get up to highway speeds and downshift hard into 3rd and the car will shudder once or twice and will drive like normal again. What could be wrong i was thinking it might be a bad O2 sensor or a vacuum leak somewhere.
Just to clarify what i mean by it wont rev past 3100 rpm i mean that i can start from idle and accelerate normally and when it gets to 3100 rpm the power goes away and will just stay there even i put my foot all the way down. I can shift up and the same thing will happen i will accelerate normally but then once i reach 3100 rpm again it will stay there.
Background: Some inconsiderate fellow manually collapsed my mirror for me and now it will not fully swing open. I can force it, but will not lock in the full open position. I'm sure the locking mechanism is jammed or worse broke, who knows.
I've removed the mirror from the vehicle but am not sure how to get to the inner motors without breaking something.
Is it easy, I see that LE Camrys are pre-wired for fogs.
View 14 RepliesI am looking to install HID lights into my headlight. Successfully i have installed the regular hid into the headlamp for regular use lights. Now i have a question on the high beam which is together with the Drl. Do i have to get a bixenon kit for this socket to get the drl running and the high beam when selected? Or can i just install a regular lo/hi hid. And will it send low output for the drl and then when selected for the high beam it will function as it should?

View 4 RepliesI'm very eager tall footwell led lights connected to dome, looking for step by step methods since I am not familiar with wiring. What supplies are needed to perform this job and how to install.
Btw have Camry SE 2010 no sunroof. Interested installing both front and back footwell.
I don't like how they aren't in the middle of the slots of the front bumper. Where the chrome strips are. I wish they were in the middle of that, instead of towards the outside.
In this video the technician shows that there are holes that you need to drill. This allows you to fasten the DRLs to the bumper.. can I drill the holes in the middle? Would it look stupid up close?

View 1 RepliesMy 2011 Toyota Camry LE doesn't have a GPS system. I want to buy a portable, 3rd party GPS system. I have heard that my car has Bluetooth capability, although I'm not certain this is true. I have the following questions:
1. Does my car really have Bluetooth capability?
2. Is Bluetooth the only relevant technology for my needs?
3. Do I plug the GPS unit into the car's data port? Where IS the car's data port?
4. Do I need a GPS service provider?
5. What about a power source - do these things run on batteries, or can I plug it into the thing that used to be for the cigarette lighter?
6. Are these 3rd party products reliable?
7. Could I get the kind of GPS unit that actually talks to you inexpensively?
8. Is there anything else I need to know about 3rd party GPS systems?
I just purchased a 07` Camry LE for my wife and now she wants to add bluetooth to her car. She has ton of music also she likes to listen to while driving. I just got the car 5-days ago, I dont see any controls, only an aux button near the cd. Any cheap options I can do?
View 1 RepliesA friend of mine has a 2002 Century with a 3100 engine, 65,000 miles. The car has been well cared for, with all regular maintenance performed on time.
The car is losing coolant, the low coolant sensor comes on every few hundred miles. The local garage has added coolant, replaced the coolant sensor , and flushed the entire system. At this point my friend asked me to have a look.
1) Slimey "milkshake" on oil cap. Cleaned & dried it 4 days ago. 100 miles later, it's all slimey again.
2) Rad cap also has slimey gunk on it.
3) Coolant recovery tank is CRUDDY. The walls are all darkened with what I'd assume is oil residue.
Now, before anyone starts saying this is normal with Dexcool, I'll mention that I have a '98 and an '02 Grand Prix with Dexcool, they have 218,000 and 158,000 miles, respectively. My oil caps are bone dry. My coolant caps have only Dexcool on them. And my coolant recovery tanks are so clean they look new.
In seems to me that there is some kind of internal issue, e.g. intake manifold gasket, where the fluids are mixing. FWIW, I don't see any sign of external coolant leakage. Do the 3100s have any known issues in this area? I suggested my friend have the Buick dealer pressure test it (when it's cold), and go from there.
