Mine has never worked. I just assumed we were stupid. I'm out of warranty. That's great.

I have read many forums asking about this issue. If it was a known issue, why wasn't it recalled and corrected? Why does it have to be under warranty to have it fixed for free?

Recalls are only for safety related items, which the radio is not considered a safety item. Now, if enough Toyota owners have this issue and make their voice heard, Toyota may issue a warranty extension for this concern.

I got a new phone, tried to pair it to my car, the add button doesn't work because the touch doesn't work on the lower part of the screen. I am at 38300miles. WTH. Took it to my local Toyota, and they said,"the warranty is the warranty". I was like WTH. They said they will call Toyota HQ and ask for a good faith repair. So we'll see in an hr. I can't believe it's a known issue, and they didn't do a recall etc. If they are not willing to cover the repair, I will go to Twitter, social media about this.

Update: The service consultant called me back an hr later saying that his foreman got Toyota to approve the radio. They will cover the radio ($800.00) + labor. He said,"my foreman spent 1hr trying to convince Toyota, please put a good yelp review for me"......oh please.

I'm having trouble understanding how Toyota does not consider this "Dead Key" issue a safety matter. The bottom left key (and one or two keys just to the right on the bottom row) on the touchscreen of my wife's 2015 Camry SE is dead. Here's the issue - this is the "Add" key for adding a new phone to the Bluetooth function. Here older iphone 5 died and was replaced. Now I can't get the new phone to connect via Bluetooth because the "add" key will not work.
It seems driving hands-free is a much safer option than with the phone up to her face or dialing a call without the Bluetooth feature. I'm going to try the dealer once and report the matter to the NTSB if the matter can't be resolved. The car was purchased in March, 2015, but is approaching 56,000 miles.

Mine is a 2015 Corolla same exact issue. I'm surprised that they haven't come up with a way to recalibrate the screen. Or reset the computer
