First of, thank you to all who post here. I just bought my AVIC a few days ago and this forum was truly a great source for information from people WAY more experienced than I am at this type of stuff. Hopefully someone else can use this post when they perform a similar install.
This should all be the same for 2002-2006 Toyota Camry SE, LE, XE, and XLS
Install:
Very easy install. Take a medium sized flat head screwdriver to pop off the AC control panel being careful not to scare the trim around the A/C Control panel. Next, pop off the encasing around the stock radio. Then remove the (4) 10mm bolts hold that hold in the factory radio and then remove the stock OEM brackets which will then be used on the AVIC D1, D2, D3.
**Take note, the OEM brackets have 3 holes that bolt on the brackets to the side of the factory radio. These holes only line up 2 of 3 on the AVIC (D1 anyways) but still works fine and are very sturdy. I get no vibration or mounting errors in the hardware info install position detector.
How to wire the harness is self explanatory. You should use just about every wire on the provided harness except the Blue "power antenna" wire. At least in the 2006 models, the antenna is integrated into the front window above and around the rear view mirror, but the wire for the antenna is standard and plugs directly into the Avic D1.
VSS Wire:
The location of this wire is right above the radio position. In the wire harness bundle that goes to the clock. The color is purple/white. Splice into this and connect to the pink VSS wire on the D1 power harness.
I used the following wire harness and dash kit:
-Wire harness from www.bestkits.com "BHA1761" 2002-2006 Camry
-Dash kit from Circuit City: "Metra Double Din kit" (bought @ Circuit City) 2002-2006 Camry
The Bypass & Motion hack linked to another thread below. Very simple to do for the D1.
