about setting day date and year wont go over 2018 in setting anybody know

I have the same problem. Probably a computer programming problem. Call a dealer to see if a computer update is available. As a programmer myself this error should have be caught.

I phoned a Toyota Dealership. The parts person tried but had no answer for our 2000 Avalon other than it was an error. I looked up a calendar year identical to 2019 and input 2002. The year is wrong but the all rest is correct. This trick won't work in 2020 because the identical calendar year is 1992 which this clock cannot accept. Another option is to only display the time and outside temperature.

I too have this problem on my 2002 Avalon but not on my 2000 Avalon. I also called the local dealership. They had never heard of this problem. After they get enough inquiries the problem will eventually get elevated to Toyota USA. Perhaps they will then devise a solution.

Just called Toyota, their answer is that’s the way it is supposed to be. It is written in the owners manual that the date won’t go past 2018. So, what else will not work correctly because of lazy programming? Very disappointed in Toyota!

Damned if Toyota aren't correct, page 111: "After the year 2018 appears, the number returns to 1999" There is a work around for this problem. The calendar for 2019 is identical to 2002. So just set the year to 2002. The year is not displayed on the mulit-information display so this should not cause any confusion. Nest year 2020 is a leap year it poses a particular problem. There are no repeating calendar years within the range 1998 to 2018. The best we can do is set the year for 2014 in Jan 1 then change the year to 2015 on March 1. Bit of a PITA. Here are the repeating calendar years for subsequent years: 2021 - 2010 2022 - 2005 2023 - 2006 2024 - another leap year Jan 1, 2018, Mar 1, 2002 2025 - 2014 2026 - 2015 2027 - 2010 2028 - 2000

I guess the engineers thought the car wouldn't last 20 years. Lack of confidence!

I emailed Toyota about this. Go to their website and ask them to do something.

In Toyota's mind, it's way past time we all upgraded to a new Avalon!

I have this calendar year problem for 2024. I'm still driving my 2004 Toyota Avalon, hoping it last me til at least 300,000 miles.

For the year 2024, a leap year, set the year to 2018. On March 1, 2024 change the year to 2013. Here are the following years: (2025 = 2014); (2026 = 2015), (2027= 2010) On March 1, 2028 ( another leap year) change the year to 2017
