Toyota Camry OEM Options Retrofit Review

Upgrading Your 9th Gen Toyota Camry with a Power Trunk

The 9th generation Toyota Camry Hybrid is a fantastic vehicle, praised for its fuel efficiency and comprehensive safety features. However, many owners find the absence of a power trunk a notable omission. Manually opening and closing the trunk, especially when your hands are full with groceries or luggage, can be quite inconvenient. This is precisely why retrofitting a power trunk system, like the Lexicon system, is a popular upgrade.

Traditionally, the Camry's trunk relies on springs to assist manual opening. To install a power trunk, these springs and the supporting strut bars must be carefully removed. This process requires delicate handling of the trunk's interior trim panels to avoid any damage. A skilled technician is crucial for a clean and seamless installation that preserves the vehicle's aesthetics.

The Lexicon Power Trunk System: Features and Installation

The core of the Lexicon power trunk system lies in its dual spindle motors. These motors, installed on each side of the trunk, prevent twisting during operation and minimize the potential for panel gaps after installation. Distributing the load across both motors also extends their lifespan, contributing to long-term reliability. This design ensures a smooth and stable trunk opening and closing experience.

Unlike the manual trunk's under-lever release, the Lexicon system adopts a TOP LOCK mechanism, mirroring Toyota's factory standard. This provides a cleaner and more intuitive user experience. The original manual trunk lever location is replaced with an integrated handle-style switch, allowing for convenient trunk operation from inside the vehicle.

Operation is versatile, controllable via the interior trunk button, the factory remote, or even a foot-activated sensor (if equipped). This significantly enhances convenience, especially when your hands are full. The Lexicon power trunk system effectively boosts the practicality and usability of your 9th Gen Toyota Camry.

Installation Process:

1. Carefully remove the trunk's interior trim panels to access the existing strut bars and springs.
2. Remove the original strut bars and springs.
3. Install the new Lexicon power trunk struts and motors, ensuring proper alignment.
4. Connect the wiring harness to the vehicle's electrical system and the control module.
5. Integrate the new trunk handle switch and test all functions (remote, interior button, etc.).
6. Reassemble the interior trim panels for a factory-like finish.

The cost for this installation in Korea is approximately 700,000 KRW (around $500 USD, subject to exchange rates). The process typically takes about 2-3 hours to complete.
