One problem related to radio/tape cd player has been reported for the 2012 Toyota Camry. The most recently reported issues are listed below. Please also check out the statistics and reliability analysis of the 2012 Toyota Camry based on all problems reported for the 2012 Camry.
The following problem is related to the malfunctioning of the navigation system and display controls in the radio console for the Toyota Camry 2012 se and other similar vehicles manufactured by Toyota. The buttons on the console stopped working around 2 years ago thus disabeling access to navigation, bluetooth connectivity and other functions. Due to lack of on screen navigation I have been forced to resort to using a mobile which is distracting to a driver and may lead to accidents especially in unfamiliar areas and on multilane highway near exits. Also as connectivity to the phone via bluetooth has been disabled calls cannot be recieved using the buttons on the steering wheel. On researching more on this topic I have realized that there are multiple vehicle owners facing similar issues with the same part of the vehicle for various vehicles that Toyota produces. The solution provided by Toyota needs replacement of the faulty console which costs between $800 to $1000. Multiple videos and comments requesting a cheap solution for this issue can be seen on the internet. Some suggestions included replacement of a part called communication extension module manufactured by "harman automotive part number 86100-yy050". I have been fortunate enough only to have had a few close calls due to distractions but this may be a concern and toyoya should come up with a cheaper solution for this issue rather than simply saying " you will have to pay a $1000 fir replacing the entire console that too when all other functions are working".
