The Avalon and Prius NAV systems seem to be very similar except for their user interface (Prius is touch screen). They both have integrated the premium JBL system. I do not yet know if the wiring harnesses are identical. I would expect they would be at the NAV controller and LCD head. They are both Denso units, as is the one on the Sienna and the Lexus cars. Any mods you do perform are at the risk of destroying your warranty coverage on the NAV unit.
 
The following link takes you to Coastal Electronics. They specialize in aftermarket accessories for Prius and other Toyota cars. One especially nice accessory allows the attachment of a video camera for the rear that displays on the existing LCD when the car is put into reverse. It has two sets of video and audio inputs to permit an external DVD, mp3, iPod or other device to integrate fully with the JBL sound system. Coastal also sells a wiring harness that will bypass the NAV nag screen for the Prius. Again, it may or may not work with the Avalon.

I have both units on order from Coastal. Now all I need is an Avalon to verify their operation. For that I need to wait until May 27th!

I'll be sure to update this forum later this week (or next) when we find out whether or not our soon to be delivered 2005 Avalon XL has the JBL stereo option.

Mr Bakeroid... I order a Cassis Pearl Limited back in February and mine is also to be delivered in 2 weeks. I guess that is the week for Cassis Pearl. I hope we aren't fighting over the only one they are making! I've never seen it either. What options did you get?

Gentlemen, I picked up my Mirage Blue Limited last Thursday evening and my dealer had five of the Cassis Pearl Avalons in stock. None was a Limited, but I can tell you that the car looks great with either the Ivory or the dark gray interior. They also had a gold stripe on two and a two tone silver and gold stripe on the others. I am sure that you will be please when you see it. I am sorry that I can't get back there to send you a picture.

Great response, I had mine around 130mph on the highway with plenty of room left-bravo for driving this car as it should be driven.. Let me know the top end if you would.

At least there will be two in the US (Hope they're not the same one. Mine was ordered in early Mar.) . Am getting the Ivory interior with the Nav system, laser cruise, stability control, and floor/trunk mats. Hopefully also color keyed mud flaps but my dealer is handling that.
 
Hopefully someone will post a picture. The color swatch on the Toyota website is useless.

cafpaf.
Thank you for the encouragement. Am interested in the striping. Were they OEM or after-market? Which color looked best?

I think the black little box is the re-coil for the rear seat belts. If you look closer, there are three of them that match the location of the seat belts.
 
I don't know what the L-shaped thing is but I'm hanging my jumper cables on it. Keeps things off the trunk floor.
 
You may be right about them being part of the reclining seats but it still makes a great hanger...

mexcar, I just pulled an invoice on an XL to see if the JBL system is listed, It is not, the standard system is the am/fm/cd cassette combo with 9 speakers. The optional system adds the in dash 6 cd changer. I would venture to say it's probably made by JBL since the stereo systems in all trim levels of the Avalon share the same faceplate. Usually the stereo that Toyota uses in their vehicles are made by Fujitsu Ten unless they are equipped with JBL or Pioneer systems.

What's this stuff in trunk? by 3puttmax

Bear with me as I try again to post this photo, hosted on my personal account with SBC/Yahoo.
 
Attached photo shows underside of upper trunk area, right side. What is the L-shaped black thing? There is a matching one on the left side. Also, what is the big black box? My 2000 Avalon has the same big black box, but not the 2 L-shaped things.
  
I have a Limited. Does this thing exist on the other models?
