The 2009 Camry does not have a USB port as a standard feature, which only became standard in the 2010 models and newer. However, most aftermarket radios come with a USB port, so you can easily add one to your car. If you install the USB port and it suddenly stops working, you should check the fuse. The USB port and the radio share the same fuse, located to the left of the steering wheel. To access the fuse box, look for a small seam or crack along the dash to the left of the steering wheel. Use a screwdriver or prybar to open it. Inside, you'll find several fuses. On the back of the panel you removed, you should see a diagram showing the purpose of each fuse. If the diagram is not there, you can check the vehicle's owner's manual for reference. Once you identify the fuse you need, simply pull it out. Look for a thin strip of metal connecting the two raised sections of the fuse - if it's broken, the fuse is no longer functional and needs replacement. If the strip is intact, the fuse is fine and can be reinserted. New fuses are inexpensive, typically around 10 dollars each.
