'99 Camry Stereo Radio

Im sure the dealer will know, won`t he. In past some camrys in 91 had casettes that caught fire and were recalled.

if it's always all the speakers, then it's the wiring to the unit [or the unit itself].

and buy a new stereo its easier and cheaper and life will be grand with a real stereo playing as its supposed to.

WHat IS it with you and your BOUGHT4LESS crap?

Go to Wal-Mart and buy a good radio!

PLONK!

I'd check the antenna connection if it's loose it will cause static especially on AM. Also check the antenna to make sure it is grounded properly. I once had an old Toyota 1973 I think and the entire fender somehow lost the ground and the antenna picked up a lot ignition noise. Here's an interesting Toyota Avalon Reliability report that indicates the radio/antenna may have a grounding problem.

SO DON'T SHOP THERE!!!! Geeeze, man!

So let's send him to some stereo store where he can buy the same item for double the price!

Cut the crap. I live in a town where the Goody-Two-Shoes kept the Evil Wal-Mart out of town, when we only had one dept store. That was Ames. They went belly-up, remember. So what to the Earthy Crunchies here do? Why, they let in a Home Depot!!! Just what we needed...a FOURTH HI store, with NO decent department stores. Marvelous.

Just what IS it you have against Wal-Mart, anyway? Be nice, or I'll plonk you yet again! I know, when Sam Walton owned it, it was different, and now it is run by Bean Counters, BUT, we need SOMETHING. K-Mart sure can't keep up. But nobody ever mentions K-Mart, and they practice the same buying policies as W-M. Give me a REASON why I shouldn't go to Wal-Mart and buy the same items for less...

Kind of ironic complaining about Wal-mart in a Toyota newsgroup? It's a world economy, the USA is competing against cheap labor and competition from around the world. The standard of living in America is bound to come down as the rest of the world increases their slice of the pie. For a hint of things to come,

LOL. You said it! In the '80's I used to take a LOT of guff about owning Toyotas. "Patriotism" said I should have had a US built car, no matter HOW junky they were! And, in my area of the country, most of them came from Canada!

Anyone with a brain can see this is happening! It has been happening for years. 7 years ago all the cheap computer parts from Taiwan (er, change Cheap to affordable) were being usurped by cheap computer parts from China (no substitution necessary...). But, in the course of a year, more and more NAME BRAND parts were coming from China. Even if our friend here own a Dell or an H-P, he probably has a LOT of Chinese parts in it.

OTOH, I believe this guy is a shill of some sort. His usual answer to a poster's question is, "Take it to the dealer" or "Look on bought4less.com". Mentio Wally-World and he goes off the rails...
