I'm back. The key fobs for the new exchanged Camry I got to replace the one that pulled to the left do not beep and flash lights when I hit lock and unlock. Service said I had to go thru customer rep before bringing it in. Waiting for that fabled return phone call. Both the spare and main key fobs don't produce beeps/flashes. Any ideas why? Service tech said something must've been done to create this, altho he had no idea what. It's not a big deal, but given the hassles I've had with that dealer I want to get all things corrected before I complete the survey on them. Feel it's my only leverage. Jagger

Of all the vehicles I've owned, there is always a setting or a way to set whether the car beeps or flashes it's lights when the alarm engages and disengages. This info is usually found in the owner's manual. Have you tried checking there? |

Replying to: jagger (Dec 18, 2008 6:56 am) All in jest, for it must be distrubing to find the 2nd car lacking the hollowed quality of Toyota fame..Hang in there for if it gets worse or excuses mount, and nothing gets fixed, share the this website with the dealer so they can explain their miscues to the Toy believers.. The 02 XLE in my garage has a warranty good thru 9/30/09 or 100k mi..My next trip to get the oil changed I shall get into new struts under the warranty for it will need new tires and no sense buying tires if the suspension is kaput..Next thing will be the timing belt, tuneup, and whatever, so trading time is at hand for additional expense of repairs does nothing to enhance value.. I am not excited about the 09 models, however, the 2010 models will have a new 4-banger engine and maybe they will have figured out some missteps of current run,and my friend will get a SE w/sunroof of the 4 cyl variety, no other bells or whistles.. Having never owned an Asian named car, I am perplexed by the amount of nitpicky problems on some of these cars.. Keep the dealer on the defense..it will get fixed or maybe they will cough up another car.... |

Replying to: jz888 (Dec 17, 2008 1:55 pm) For the same reasons of safety even in summer the system will not remain in recirculate mode for more than a few minutes unless the A/C is operating. All automotive A/C compressors MUST be disabled below about 35F otherwise the condensate on the evaporator vanes might/would freeze and block all incoming airflow. I would not be at all surprised if some marques disabled the A/C in the 45-50F range as the ability for the A/C to provide any reasonable level of dehumidification below those temperatures is unlikely except in unusual climatic conditions, COLD and HUMID.

When my fob for my '09 Camry CE didn't beep and flash lights when pressing lock/unlock, I took the car and keys back to the dealer. After hours of scratching their heads, they told me that the solution was not in their tech manuals and they had to go on-line with Toyota to discover that there is a 1-inch rod-shaped silver switch under the dash above the emergency brake that toggles to turn on and off the fob function that controls the beeps and flashes. So if you want quiet and no lights, flip the switch. Jagger |
