#151 of 196 Aero drag from mudguards? by tbone0526 Apr 16, 2008 (6:42 pm)
I'm thinking I'd like to add the Camry mudguards to my new black TCH, however I'm not sure how far down or out they stick beyond the body or wheels. I'm wondering if anyone noticed any significant aero drag after installation?   I'm sure they would help keep a lot of the splash and rocks off the lower body panels, but is there much (if any) penalty to fuel mileage?
#152 of 196 Nav system by wingman Apr 17, 2008 (2:32 am)
I have an 07 Camry with Nav. We all know that when you start up the vehicle there is a warning message that comes up on the screen that you shouldn't try to input to the Nav while vehicle is in motion. Well, somehow while playing with the buttons I had managed to prevent this message from coming up. What comes up is the last thing that was there when I turned off the car. Normally I would be glad this happens but in two days I'm trading the Camry for a 08 Highlander Hybrid Limited with Nav and I don't know how to eliminate that annoying message.   Anybody know how?
#153 of 196 leather seat options by loves2read May 07, 2008 (11:11 am)
can someone explain to me the two options for leather seating on a TCH   one of them is 1300 option w/o heated seats and the other is a shade over 1400 w.o heated seats-- that is listed as separate C/C package is one for power seats and the other is not or is one for dealer installed seats?
#154 of 196 [possible navigation system] addition by craigetal May 15, 2008 (2:05 am)
I have had my '09 Hybrid for approx. 3 weeks now, and am more than quite impressed, and pleased, with almost every facet of it. When I took delivery, I truly didn't want the navigation system option - but... am now wondering [out of curiousity mostly] IF it could be added by the dealer at my first regular service appointment. And, if so, any detriment to the car as a whole? [damage to dash, etc].?

Replying to: craigetal (May 15, 2008 2:05 am) I'd probably never pay what it would take to add it to the car as an afterthought. If NAV is all you want get a portable as it's cheaper and probably more accurate. However I love my NAV but seldom use the mapping function.

Replying to: craigetal (May 15, 2008 2:05 am) or theGarmin 350 or 750... all great units and extremely accurate. I have had a Garmin for over 5 years and could not live without one. In my opinion... Toyota should look at this forum to find out that the TCH mapping system.. again, in my opinion, is virtually uusable and incorrect in my '07. Otherwise, I love my car (oh yer, it would be nice if the voice commands worked). Replies to this message: jcihak (May 19, 2008 3:46 am)
#158 of 196 GPS by jcihak May 19, 2008 (3:46 am)
Replying to: plknj (May 16, 2008 2:33 pm) Having used a variety of standalone GPS as well as in-car GPS (Honda and Toyota), there are drawbacks to each. The negatives to the standalones is - smaller screen size, can have problems mounting. Windshield mounted suction cups are a PITA, not to mention obstruct the view. Having said that, I recently bought a Mio c220 for $150 (cheaper now) and hated spending 10x that much for an in-car. The in-car units are just too expensive in my opinion. You also have to consider the repair costs if they fail out of warranty - $1k to $2k.
#159 of 196 Auto Ventshades for 09 TCH by garykim Jun 01, 2008 (2:39 pm)
I ordered a set of Auto Ventshades and was disappointed when they arrived and did not fit. Is there a difference in sized of the doors between the 07, 08 & 08 TCH's?
#160 of 196 Navigation Override Switch Works Perfect! by hblatt Jun 02, 2008 (8:17 am)
Greetings,   I love everything about my 2007 Camry Hybrid except the fact that the Toyota Lawyers will not let customers use the Navigation system while the car is rolling. I have looked at many forum postings on this subject. I have tried many of the secret menu hacks... But none of these software overrides work with the latest Map DVD.   I have found a workable hardware solution. I have installed a switch to temporarily interrupt the speed signal to the Nav system when I need access to the menus. (Don't just cut the wire. There are times when you NEED the speed signal.) I just installed the switch inside the center console storage box. Flip the switch and you get full control of the menus. Flip it back for normal driving. You can find pinout information here: http://www.oemvalue.com/installcamry07.htm#pluglayout (Look for R12 pinouts.) Replies to this message: timh4 (Jun 17, 2008 1:33 pm)
