2007 Camry XLE Premium Sound ASL Question

[mw817]

I have a question about the ASL (Auto Sound Level) for my 2007 Camry XLE.

The ASL will only turn "OFF" and "ON". You can't adjust it (high medium and low) as the manual suggests you can. While at the dealer for something else, they tried and couldn't figure it out either.

Do you guys have some suggestions?

Also, do you know anything about disabling the DING for the seatbelt reminder? It drives me NUTS! Yeah yeah, I know... I should wear my belt... But sometimes I just don't want... lol

The dealer tried disabling it as the Owners Manual said they could, they read that section of the owners manual too. The Accessories Manager hooked up a diagnostics box and was able to see the menu for the Seatbelt reminder but when he selected that function, the computer booted him out to a main screen.

Thanks in advance for your help!

I have a case open (ASL) with Toyota on this. I'll let you know when it is resolved.

Yes, they all are as far as I can tell. I posted this same issue about three weeks ago. If you have the Nav unit then you get 3 selections (low, mid, high). I have Toyota and my dealer involved in this. So far they have contacted Panasonic to see what's up. Yes, I said Panasonic. I know it's a JBL system, but its made for Toyota by Panasonic. Weird huh..... As soon as I get the final word, I'll post it for everyone.

Does your Panasonic/JBL system display Radio Broadcast Data System (RDS) on the FM stations that broadcast it. It should display the station, song name and artist.

The Toyota University Publication (2007 Camry & Camry Hybrid) published by Toyota Canada for dealer internal training says all 3 factory audio systems have it.

Mine doesn't and email answers from Toyota say to take it to the dealer for inspection. They won't confirm that all radios have RDS or not.

Downloads of Toyota manuals on the NAV system describe the RDS for those systems but no other manuals mention the JBL system.

Anybody else have RDS?????

with my stock LE Radio I can turn it to Low,Med, High, or off....wierd you can't.

I have a stock LE radio as well (non-JBL and no satellite tuner), and I also have control over Lo, Med, and High for ASL

I don't know about the owner's manual instruction but The Toyota Repair Instruction - Customize Parameters says the seat belt warning can be shut off by the dealer using intelligent controls or using this procedure:

Drivers side:

1. turn the ignition switch on
2. press the odo/trip switch until the odometer displays "ODO"
3. Ignition switch off
4. turn ignition switch on
5. press the odo/trip switch immediatedly (within 6 seconds) and hold it down for 10 seconds or more,
6. continue holding down the odo/trip switch and fasten the driver side seat belt
7. check that the odometer displays either "b-on" or b-off"
8. press the odo/trip switch to change the display to "b-off"
9. ignition switch off
10 turn the ignition switch on
11. check that no buzzer sounds.

Passenger seat:

1-4 same as above
5. sit in front passenger seat, then 5 above
6. sit in the passenger seat, then 6 above for the passenger seat belt
7-11 same as above.

If the battery is disconnected you will have to repeat the procedures.

Dealer can customize auto a/c and adjust outside and inside temps, change theft deterrent system, change illuminated entry options, change auto light control and sensitivities, change door lock and wireless door lock parameters, change smart key operations, change volume of key reminder warning buzzer, and change speed cycle of key reminder sound.

Let me know if it works?

I am not positive, but I think on MY XLE with NAV that you can only adjust the ASL level while the car is moving. I may be wrong, and I will try to check this tomorrow. However, I am pretty sure I noticed this before and that was what I found.

I have NAV and I can only turn it off and on, but I notice that while I drive it automatically adjusts the level from low ot med. to high as demonstrated by the change in blue highlight on the icon on my screen.

I've got the XLE system, no NAV, and just an on/off control for ASL. No difference whether I'm moving or not -- just on or off. I'm thinking that the better systems might well just be moving automatically, compared to the manual control you have over the cheaper systems.

njerald,

vbmenu_register("postmenu_1249944", true); I tried your method and couldn't get it to work. I tried various ways with the multifunction display and none would get me into that menu. Is it for earlier generations of Camrys or the 2007 model?

Thanks for trying thought.. Do you have any more ideas?

[mw817]

And for what its worth, I did try adjusting the ASL while driving and anything other than ON and OFF is not possible..

Anyone else have suggestions?

And I DO NOT have the Nav feature installed in my car... Just the Premium Sound with 6 disc changer.

It is for the 2007. I haven't tried it because I'm not interested in the change.
