2012 Toyota Camry dash noises, rattles

My 2012 (2013 will surely be affected) Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE is so noisy with rattles and clunks inside. (For the roof clunk problem, view this post.) The most annoying rattling comes from the glovebox, near the keyhole. If I push on the keyhole, the noise stops. However, sometimes it will rattle above the clock/radio area and […]

Toyota Camry Hybrid tire recommendations

Kyocera default Administrator Number

Here is a snippet from a Kyocera manual: The factory default administrator number is either 2500 (25/25 ppm model), 3200 (32/25 ppm and 32/32 ppm models) or 4000 (40/35 ppm model). So — take the first two numbers of the model and then two zeroes. In case it might help, here are some good guides […]
