2020 Camry SE
Posted: Thu Jul 09, 2020 9:46 am
I finally pulled the trigger and got a Camry for my commute. I kept my Challenger R/T and decided to get something much easier on gas. I opted for the 2.5L which averages 39 HWY. I'd considered a Hybrid but the ROI doesn't pan out. I couldn't see paying $5K more for the hybrid. My math said I may save $100 over 5 years. This Camry has the 8 spd auto over the CVT. It has lane assist and radar controlled cruise control. It's odd for my to drive a car where I can't see the hood.
This one does have Android Auto which seems to work fine. I connected my USB cable, performed the setup on my phone, started PowerAmp, and had sound. The maps and contacts integrate automatically. However, I installed the Toyota App and it broke the Audio. It would show a song playing but I couldn't get sound. Uninstalling the Toyota App fixed the issue. The App kept trying to pair bluetooth which screwed up the audio from my phone. Even if I physically disabled bluetooth from my phone's toolbar, it kept being re-enabled.
