I am asking about a 2000 Camry, with 63000 miles on it. The 'Automatic' climate control panel in my 2000 Camry is erratic. Can I replace it with a manual one? If so, what's the best way to remove the plastic trim around the panel?

Thanks for any help.

Almost impossible to replace an auto with a manual. The bezel has plastic clips. use a small hook tool to free it. There might be a screw or two under the lip.

Check your temp sensors before you replace the auto module. If there have been smokers in the car they have a tendencey to clog from nicotine. They also clog with normal dust. Check them 1st. Good Luck.
