#145 of 205 Re: Toyota Sienna Navigation DVD Upgrade [boulderdon] by trav2 Feb 26, 2009 (10:11 pm)
Replying to: boulderdon (Feb 26, 2009 1:50 pm) See http://www.wikihow.com/Override-Toyota-Prius-Navigation-Gray-out. If your DVD is not the latest version (version 06 and not 07 or later), this override system will work. This override will allow your passenger to access all the GPS functions that are now grayed out when moving. If you GPS DVD is 07 or later, you have to burn a new DVD, put in the start up section from 06 version on top of the 07 or later version to allow this override to work as shown in web page. There are instructions on how to do this on this Forum. Not overly complicated to burn the new DVD, but does take about an hour to complete. I had an 08 Sienna with 08 DVD GPS. The burned DVD works great and allows us complete access to the GPS while moving (for the passenger to access) and still have the latest maps loaded. Good luck!

Replying to: crestonave (Jan 04, 2009 1:19 pm) I doubt there is an over ride. I find it a bit frustrating at times and have to come to a complete stop at a light (actually wishing for a red light at times) so I can put something in. It's a safety feature and probably a good one. My husband has an Acura and doesn't put anything in his NAV until he starts driving. It drives me nuts..

Replying to: hause7 (Jan 02, 2009 7:22 pm) I have tried Siennaclub.org, and the website has apparently changed orientation. Is there another source for the Hybrid disk? I can burn it myself given instructions and a Version 6 or 7 disk. Thanks for your help. I have a 2009 Sienna.

Replying to: yankeejoy (Mar 04, 2009 5:40 pm) It's probably a good idea for the driver not to be distracted by tinkering with the nav while driving, but there's no reason to prevent the passenger from entering the info.
#149 of 205 Navigation lock out override by adiehl13 Apr 15, 2009 (11:52 am)
I have a 2005 Sienna XLE. Thank god I found this website on how to override the lock out/safe mode on the Navi system. How stupid that a passenger can't even enter in an address? I'm even mad that we can't operate the DVD. I have to drive, lean all the back just to push play on the DVD for the kids. How safe is that?! come on people, wise up! http://community.myride.com/_Car-Tip-Toyota-and-Lexus-Navigation-Override/blog/1- 2339/3898.html
#150 of 205 How do I install a new navigation DVD on a 2004 Sienna by sienna1981 May 31, 2009 (12:13 pm)
I've burned the updated navigation DVD. How do I install it? Do I swap out the old DVD? If so, where is the old DVD? I mean physically in the car.   Can someone provide step by step instructions?   Thanks! Replies to this message: boulderdon (May 31, 2009 2:27 pm)

Replying to: sienna1981 (May 31, 2009 12:13 pm) The DVD drive is located under the passenger front seat. To replace the DVD disk access the DVD drive from the back of the front passenger seat and use a flashlight to get a better view of the DVD drive door. There is a small slide on the drive that you can slide to the open position revealing tthe drive eject button. With the ignition key turned to the on position, press the eject button. The DVD drawer will open and you can swap out the disks. Good Luck.
#152 of 205 Sienna Navigation System - motion lockout by gmva1 May 16, 2009 (8:18 am)
I just purchased a 2009 Sienna w/NAV and rear entertainment system. I was not aware that when the vehicle is in motion many features of the NAV are locked out for both the driver and passenger. While I can understand the legal reasons why this decision was made, I am very unhappy that my wife cannot fully control the NAV system to search for places to eat while we are moving. I hear there are other limitations to the Bluetooth calling capabilities but haven't learned the extent or reasonableness of them.   We agonized over spending the extra money on this option so I am writing to help make buyers aware of this limitation so that they can make an informed decision as to whether it is worth the additional money for the NAV system. I wish I had done a little more research before buying. This limitation certainly seems worth mentioning in the main Edmunds review.

Replying to: gmva1 (May 16, 2009 8:18 am) I could not agree more (and I didn't even buy NAV).   They could use the passenger seat occupant sensors to determine that an adult was sitting there to even turn off that "safety" feature.   Ridiculous.

Replying to: gmva1 (May 16, 2009 8:18 am) One thing she can do is turn on the restaurant icons so they appear on the map. Then scroll around and touch an icon to find out what it is or to set a destination to it.
