With a little bit of modification, the remote case for a camry works with the 97 remote.
97 remote on left, generic camry case on the right. I did the first one with a dorman brand case, it worked a bit better than this one.
Dorman on the left.
The inside of the camry case is different, so the inside plastic ridges need to be trimmed, also some small pieces of plastic need to be glued in as spacers so the buttons don't activate if the case is squeezed.
Cut the ridges and also the rubber gasket. Glue two pieces back onto the back of the panic button to make the rubber thicker.
Here is where I glued the spacer, you'll need two of them. One on the top and the other in the middle. The Dorman case also needed two little spacers.
The finished remotes. Dorman on right, generic on left.

Got around to installing the HID's.
Modified 4 - hella oem gen 3 ballasts. More efficient mosfets for all 4, and boosted the pair for the headlights to 55 watts. The fogs I left at 35 watts. Morimoto 5000k bulbs for all lights.

Started doing interior LED's.
Couldn't find a proper sized panel for the doors, so I made some out of T10 lights.
These are 5050 LED, which have 3 LED's build into one chip, so each light has 12 LED's.
I put together 5 lights for a total of 60 LED's... Worked out pretty good.

Installing iPod Nano 6th gen into factory SC300 Radio.
Haven't decided on how to feed the audio section. Might wire it directly into the tape head signal wires. I've done that before and worked great.
