It's not very bright. Even indoor lighting it might be tough to see. Cover the remote with your cupped hand so the face of the remote is darkened, then try pressing the lock button. You should at least see the LED flash then...

If I go out there cupping the remote and holding it to my face are you going to be there taking pictures of me looking ridiculous to post on this board?

I can confirm it is there. I actually on purpose did not have they key in my pocket this morning to see if it was there and sure enough a red light flashed.

There is no way to see that there is an LED there from just looking at the fob. It must be coming through it soemhow, b/c I don't think there is an indention or anything present.

If you don't see it don't worry b/c why does it matter? With this system the key never comes out of your pocket so you will never see it, but it is a great find of an undocumented feature.

It's at the 10:00 position just off to the left of the lock button. I can see it when I press the button and it did flash when I got within range (3 feet or so) of the sensor in the door handle.

Here is a photo of the red LED flashing on my key fob. It's a bit grainy as I used my cell phone to snap the picture when the LED flashed. It flashes when you press any key, or go in/out of range of the sensors on the Camry.

Nash, it looks like you're pressing your panic button! Hopefully you're nowhere near your TCH.

Found it. I had to go outside, completely cup the key fob, hold it to my eye and walk towards the car. But I saw it.

OK, now I'll put it in my pocket and leave it there.

You don't have to be near the car to see it.
You can see it from inside your house if you just push one of the buttons on it.
