Jeepers! Sometimes I try to act like I'm a stud, but that's crazy!

That may lift 'The Office' a tad.

Unfortunately, its an 'only in America' thing; assuming the front is the same, it would probably be illegal in Oz.

Have to say Dazz, those wheels on your car are spectacular in the flesh.

Thanks Trev, certainly a big improvement on the stock ones.

Just got an email from Toyota saying I can have Android Auto and Apple Carplay added to my 2 month old Camry for only $199. Not happy Jan... when I get a chance I'll be going in to negotiate a lot better deal than that... should be free.

Good luck! I tried to do that with the AA/AP update for the Mazda before I bought it [available 1 month after purchase] .. they gave me a discount but it should have been a scaled approach [newer cars cheaper, older cars more exxy, etc.]

That’s thievery

200 bucks for a 10 minute update

Damn rite it should be free on such a new car, Japanese car makers should be quite ashamed they’re so far behind their Korean cousins.

Especially given the sales pitch prior to this being rolled out was that there was no need to wait before buying the car - implication is what it would have been free for recent purchases.

Maybe I should give her another little tweak to make her look more like this...

God Damn! !,
someone has gotten a hold of some brilliant drugs and is not holding back in partaking of them!

Had my $195 , 15,000 kilometre on Friday. I said I'd like the Android Auto upgrade applied if you will do it for no charge. Not interested at $199.

Anyway, to cut a long story short. I got the freebie and it works very well. The way the Camry screen is laid out I think it will be more user friendly than AA was in my SR.

Because I have set up a wireless charger in the Camry I reckon I'll only plug the phone in so I can use AA on our mainland road trips where I need navigation. I seldom need that in Tassie.

Unfortunately our next mainland road trip has been deferred indefinitely due to other family commitments.

So i was looking though product recalls as i do and saw this one about Camry seatbelts then was wondering if seat belts are even required in Tassie?

Cheers for that. Yes a mate spotted that and because the Vin number list was oddly sorted I double checked with the Dealer (mine wasn't on the list)

We only have population of 500K but get much more than that in Tourists each year and some got their licenses out of a wheaties packet, so I reckon we need every safety device we can get. I think these tourists feature disproportionately in the accident stats as do Motorcyclists in the fatality figures down here.
