Toyota Camry: JBL CD Text?

Most retail CD's do not have CD Text. I don't think it caught on. But if you
burn an audio CD on your computer, and check to burn the CD Text during a
Disc-at-once recording session (Easy CD Creator), the text will be included
and will read on a CD Text capable player.

Hoe this helps.

For that to work your CD mastering software has to access an online
database such as CDDB. Or you have to manually type the details yourself.

Interesting...where did you read the Toyota JBL stereos are CD Text
capable?

I burn many CD's w/text, and as you mention the latest Sony releases
already have CD Text encoded. I have never seen CD Text displayed on
my 2003 Camry single JBL CD display either.

Amazing how these expensive integrated OEM auto sound systems lag the
after market competition.

I believe there is a small logo printed on the front
of the Toyota radio that states "CD Text"





 

The button on the radio that says TEXT (next to SCAN) -- and the owner's
manual. Oh, and burning a CD with text isn't the solution as you correctly
stated. The manual (p174 for 03 4Rnr) says "The button is used to change
the display for the CD that contains text data. To change display, quickly
push and release button while CD is playing. Changes fron elapse time to
disc title to track title and back to elapse. All I ever get (on 03 Camry 6
CD model too) is NO TITLE. Maybe I'll just tell service manager that both
radios are defective --- and ask him to demonstrate! OEM SubWoofer seems to
be another questionable part -- shouldn't I feel bass with hand on it?
Manybe if enough owners complain they will replace radio with one where
features actually work? Now that Charlene Blake fixed the yota sludge
problem maybe she'll tackle this one?

Ha looked at Nissan Murano -- and it has Satellite radio button - but to get
it to work you have to buy an expensive Infiniti part that isn't covered
under warranty on the Nissan. Smacks of false advertizing on both accounts
to me - especially when I can get aftermarket radio with satellite built in,
MP3 capable and decent quality speakers for 1/3 the OEM cost..

HAHAHA....too funny Wolfgang......

1/3 the cost........
Not installed. Have you looked at your dash?

We do the installs for the local Infiniti/Nissan dealer
up the road. We charge $90 labor, on top of the $350
the dealer charges for the OE Clarion equipment.
$440 installed for all factory equipment is cheap.

As compared to.......lets say an Alpine.
Example would be a CDA-9805 for $180, XM tuner box would
be a TUA-T020XM(out of stock for months) is $250. Sat Ant
is $30. So the equipment is $460. UN-INSTALLED!
Now lets talk the install, almost cant be done, any good shop that would
even try it would be hours of custom labor. Plus the little details.....
Like the BOSE intergration would be crap, the steering wheel controls
are lost (not sure it has them). So total cost would be near $700
Loss of that nice indash cassette and/or 6 dics changer?

Another example would be an FM Mod install
Here the price is better, but the sound quality disappears. Delphi XM
is $150, car kit is $80, Dash mounting is $40, Parts/Labor would be
around $100. So here you pay $370, a savings of $70, in exchange for
crap sound quality, a big boxy thing mounted to the dash, and no OE
intergration at all. Hardly worth the savings.

Just thought I would point out that the OEM equipment is a good choice.
And at a decent cost. The aftermarket choices are not 1/3 the cost.
