Instructions for connecting the Camry V70 speedometer winder

Winding up the Toyota Camry V70 speedometer into the diagnostic connector, or as it is also called a speedometer twister for the Toyota Camry 70 2018, allows you to quickly wind the speedometer on the Camry 70 with your own hands. If you have accumulated a lag in the odometer reading, you can always buy a speedometer winder for the Camry V70 2021 at our website and regularly check your mileage, avoiding large lags.

You can clearly see the operating principle of the 2021 Camry speedometer in the video. It is worth noting that the video shows a car with a 3.5 engine. Accordingly, this Camry is equipped with a VDO instrument panel with a “large display”. There is also a DENSO speedometer, which is most often installed in cheaper trim levels with a 2.5 engine. The operation of the winding, as well as its connection, are completely identical on each of these instrument panels.

The speedometer winder for the Toyota Camry V70 2021 is connected to the OBD2 connector, as is the speedometer winder for the Camry V55, Camry 50 and the speedometer winder for the Camry v40. The principle of operation of the speedometer knobs into the OBD2 diagnostic connector is the transmission of digital messages, similar to digital messages from the car’s ABS unit, to the engine, i.e. high speed CAN bus. A feature of the Toyota Camry V70 2018 model year is that in this Camry model there is no motor CAN bus in the diagnostic connector. Those. There is an OBD2 diagnostic connector in the car, its shape is the same as before (and in general it is standard for all cars in the world), and there is a CAN bus in this connector, but not a motor (high-speed) one, which is needed to operate the speedometer winding Camry, but diagnostic. And there is no way to transmit “fast” data, such as vehicle speed and mileage, via the CAN diagnostic bus.

Simply put, if you take a new Toyota Camry V70 2021 and simply connect the speedometer spinner (speedometer winder) to the diagnostic connector, it will not work right away. To operate any speedometer winder, any speedometer twister or winder on the 2021 Toyota Camry V70 with a new body, the car will require modifications to the wiring. On the car itself, you need to connect two wires (engine CAN bus) from the instrument panel to the OBD2 diagnostic connector.

We wrote in more detail about the need to improve the wiring on the Camry 70 in this article. There you will also find a video demonstrating the operation of the Toyota Camry v70 speedometer.

In this article we will pay attention to the process of connecting additional wires necessary for the operation of the Toyota Camry V70 speedometer winder. We will show you step by step how to connect the speedometer knob with your own hands.

You can BUY the speedometer spinner (winder) in our store by following the link and placing an order through the shopping cart. You can also call us at number and place an order by phone - the call is free.

Briefly, you need to remove the dashboard trim of the Camry 70, remove the instrument panel, find a black-and-white twisted pair in the wiring harness suitable for the instrument panel, connect two additional wires in parallel to the twisted pair, bring them to the OBD2 connector to which the control will be connected Camry 70 speedometer.

You can connect the TOYOTA CAMRY 70 speedometer knob with your own hands. The tools you will need are a Phillips screwdriver, a utility knife and an awl (a nail, a very thin screwdriver). Detailed instructions in printed form, additional wires and additional contacts for the diagnostic connector are included in the kit with the Toyota Camry V70 2021 speedometer winder, which you can order in our store.

ATTENTION! These instructions should be used to connect a speedometer crank purchased in our store. Speedometer cranks and speedometer winders from other manufacturers may differ in circuit design. We sell winders of our own design and production, so we can guarantee their stable operation. Moreover, you should not connect AZ emergency ignition generators to such new and expensive cars, throw wires from the generator, and the like. Connecting homemade devices and an AZ generator to a Toyota Camry 70, or any other generation, can damage both the instrument panel and the brain, which will turn the car into real estate!!

1. First, let’s imagine the appearance of the instrument panel of the new Toyota Camry V70 2021. The instrument panel and the instrument panel itself are very different from previous models. It is also worth noting that the Camry V70 uses a new algorithm to transmit information about the speed and mileage of the vehicle via the CAN bus. This makes it impossible to use speedometer knobs from older Camrys on the Camry 70, even after modifying the wiring according to these instructions.

2. So, to connect additional wires to operate the speedometer winder on the Toyota Camry 2021, you first need to remove the instrument panel. To access the Camry instrument panel mounting screws, you need to remove the plastic trim. Pull towards you and remove one small (left) and one large (right) decorative trim. Both covers are secured with latches. They come off quite easily.

3. Pry up and remove the leather trim of the steering wheel casing.

4. Unscrew the two plastic screws holding the overlay on the dashboard of the Toyota Camry V70 2021. Remove the two clips along with the screws.

5. Pull towards you and remove the dashboard trim of the Toyota Camry v70. The cover is secured with latches. Not difficult to remove

6. After removing the trim, we get access to the screws securing the Camry 70 instrument panel. We need to unscrew the 3 screws securing the instrument panel and remove it to get to the wiring harness, to which we will connect the Camry 70 speedometer winder.

7. After we have unscrewed the bolts securing the Camry 70 instrument panel, you need to pull the panel towards you. It is held in place by 2 latches at the back. Next, remove the two connectors of the Camry 70 speedometer wiring harness. The speedometer knob will be connected to the wires coming to the wide connector of the instrument panel.

8. Next, you need to remove the insulation from the wiring harness. Find a black and white twisted pair (two wires twisted together) in the harness. These are the wires of the CAN motor bus in the Toyota Camry 70. The speedometer winding is connected to this CAN bus. The photo shows the position of the wires in the connector, as well as what the twisted pair in the wiring harness looks like. It is more convenient to connect additional wires near the connector, but it can be done much more secretly just in the depths of the harness, away from the connectors. Where exactly to connect the wires to operate the Toyota Camry V70 speedometer is up to you. On each of the wires of the black-and-white twisted pair, we strip a small piece of insulation, preferably on one wire a little higher, on the other a little lower, to prevent shorting the motor bus channel. We connect two additional wires. It is advisable (although not necessary) to solder the connections and ALWAYS insulate them. Next, you need to bring out additional wires to the diagnostic connector.

9. Remove the OBD2 diagnostic connector to which the Toyota Camry V70 speedometer knob will be connected. The connector is secured with two latches on the sides. Route additional wires to the diagnostic connector. Insert the wires with terminals crimped at the end into the free sockets of the connector, pins 2 and 10, as shown in the photo.

10. Now it is necessary to determine the “polarity” of the digital bus (polarity is conditional. The bus has a high and low level, if they are mixed up, nothing will burn out). To do this, connect the instrument panel, place the terminal on the battery, and turn on the ignition. We insert the CAMRY V70 speedometer winder into the diagnostic connector. If you guessed right with the “polarity” of the tire, the LED on the mileage winder will start blinking once a second. The mileage will begin to increase.

11. If you have not guessed the “polarity” of the tire, the LED at the end of the speedometer winder will light continuously, and the instrument panel will indicate a malfunction of the engine and brake system. NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. NOTHING BURNS. We simply swap the new contacts in the connector and continue according to the previous point.

I would like to note that before you start assembling the interior parts, you need to get the Toyota Camry 70 speedometer winder working. As soon as you connect everything correctly and insert the Toyota Camry 70 speedometer winder into OBD2, the mileage will begin to increase. How everything should work after the wiring has been completed can be seen in the video. (the video shows a spinner with the very first working algorithm for the Camry 70, later the algorithm was modified. Now the speedometer needle does not rise when the winder is running. This is normal)

Only after this, carefully hide the additional wire and return the interior parts to their place.

Operating instructions for Toyota Camry: safety

The Toyota Camry operating instructions warn: you should not drive while drunk or under the influence of medications. Such conditions are accompanied by a slow reaction, poor coordination and inadequate assessment of the situation.

Be careful while driving. Think for yourself, but try to predict the actions of other drivers and pedestrians.

Never leave children unattended in a car, give them the keys, or allow them to play in the driver's seat.

Do not use any other car mats other than the original ones. Buy floor mats designed only for your model and year of manufacture.

When laying the rug, always secure it with special floor brackets. Never place two rugs at the same time.

After changing the mat, try pressing all the pedals all the way in parking mode. Make sure the mat doesn't interfere with this.

Toyota Camry instruction manual: boarding the driver and passengers

Do not change the position of the driver's seat while driving. Do not place any objects under the front seats of the vehicle.

Only one person should be fastened with one seat belt. For the belt to work effectively, the seat back should not be tilted too far.

Pregnant women should wear the bottom strap of the seat belt as low as possible on their hips so that the belt does not come into contact with the abdomen.

If the engine overheats, stop immediately in a safe place, wait until it cools down, and check it.

If your car is equipped with an LCD display, during cold weather it may be late in updating information until the interior warms up. Irrelevant information can mislead the driver. Therefore, at low temperatures it is worth warming up the interior before driving.

Do not warm up the car in an enclosed area, such as a garage.

Car keys can be damaged as a result of:

falls
blows
long heating
getting wet
washing in an ultrasonic machine
proximity to metal or magnetic materials
proximity to some electronic devices: televisions, audio systems, induction cookers, medical equipment.

Using the Camry XV70 as an example

The 2021 Camry is equipped with 3 engine options, 2.0, 2.5, 3.5 liters.
With engines 2.0 and 2.5, a 6-speed automatic transmission is installed. The box is an old model, but with a modified switching algorithm and torque converter settings. For the 2.5 engine, there is an option to install a variator. It simulates the operation of a 6-speed gearbox. The flagship version of the Camry with a 3.5 engine is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The new Camry has different operating modes for the transmission and engine. Let's look at what the owner can use in different modifications.

Toyota Camry manual while driving:

Always keep your foot on the brake pedal when the car is running.
Press the brake with your right foot. The left leg reacts more slowly.
Do not drive on flammable materials or park your vehicle on flammable materials.
Do not turn off the ignition while driving. All amplifiers will turn off - it will be difficult to control the steering wheel and brakes.
When driving downhill, slow down with the engine - switch to a lower gear and use the brakes less. If you brake frequently, the system will overheat and the brakes may fail.
If you hear squealing or grinding noises when braking, it's time to replace your pads. If the pads are not replaced, the brake discs will be damaged.
If the car is stationary, do not accelerate - you will overheat the exhaust system.

In summer, do not leave lighters, gas cans, prescription glasses, or soda cans in your car. Overheating can cause an explosion and even a fire, and the liquid will short out the wiring.

Engine 3.5 and 8 speed gearbox

The box also has S mode. In addition, the car can operate in three modes. Eco mode, normal, sport. You can switch the car to another mode by pressing a button. They are located at the gear selector.

Eco mode – forced eco-friendly driving style. When turned on, the engine speed and heater speed drop. The settings are aimed at reducing harm to the environment.

When driving, the car feels sluggish and the response to the accelerator is slow. Fuel consumption becomes less. Well suited for a calm, leisurely ride. For example, for heavy traffic on a highway or city traffic jams.

Normal – standard ride.
Sport – sports mode. The response to the gas pedal is much more lively, the car accelerates faster and changes gears later. Fuel consumption increases.

The mode is well suited for single-lane highways when there is very little time to overtake. For mountain roads with constant climbs and turns.

All versions of the Toyota Camry received an automatic transmission with a sequential mode, which allows you to combine numerous functions of old automatic transmissions into one box. The flagship model received different engine operating modes, which will allow you to save fuel or make the most of the potential of the 3.5 liter engine.
