All,

I'm looking for information on "hacks" for the Toyota Camry Hybrid. By hacks, I mean things that people have to the Camry to get more out of it or get rid of annoyances. For example - getting rid of the Agree button on the Nav system, allowing input of destinations, maybe changing the voice on the Nav system, getting better gas mileage, replacement navigation system software, alternative batteries, secret settings, video input for the screen, etc. etc. It would be great if there were a single "hacks" thread that had everyone's favorite and links to doing it.

Example - are there higher capacity battery kits for the Camry Hybrid? I've heard of kits for the Prius to improve the mpg significantly. Like the Prius+:

and other articles like:

What about stuff for the Camry?

I'd be glad to collect a bunch of links and organize them in one post if someone sends them.
