#158 of 205 Wrong Region or in BFE!! by farticus Jun 22, 2009 (11:58 pm)
Our Navigation system is showing that we are in Oregon, but we are actually in Las Vegas NV, any help on how to switch it or reset to our actual location? We have a 2007 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited, thanks! Replies to this message: trav2 (Jun 23, 2009 8:58 am)

Goto DEST on your GPS. You will see a Map of the US, with the upper left section probably highlighted (Or, Wa, Id). Pick Change and switch to US2 for California, Nevada. You have to do these steps everytime you physically move from an area in the US that is not covered by your present Map area. Hope this helps

Replying to: joefrmtx (Jun 12, 2009 9:42 am) Here are the instructions for making your own Hybrid DVD. It took me about an hour and it works great. We override the speed lock out features and my passenger can now access all parts of the NAVI while moving. I tried to swtich the DVD player to the front screen also when moving, but was not successful.   I got all this info off the Sienna Web site about 4 months ago. Good luck!   DVD Override: I have received numerous requests for how to make the v06.1 Navi DVD w/ the version 5.1 override capability. You will need to author a Dual Layer DVD+R w/ all the files from your v6.1 NAV DVD & replace the v6.1 loading .kwi w/ the v5.1 loading.kwi in the main directory of the DVD.   I just uploaded the loading.kwi file, and you can find the loading.kwi file here: http://www.yourfilelink.com/get.php?fid=255527   Look for the download button in the mess of all the ads ... sorry needed free file hosing for a 46MB file & this is the best I could do!   once you burn this new "hybrid" DVD, you can do the volume screen service menu procedure to get to the override button!   Good Luck ... this took a few tries to get it right, but I can verify that this procedure DOES Work ... I have been running this "hybrid" dvd now for about a month now on my XLE w/ no problems!!!   DVD Override2: Making the Hybrid 5.1/7.1 NAV DVD   1) I obtained the 5.1 loading.kwi from a link found in this forum. 2) I downloaded imgburn (freeware) 3) I put the 7.1 disk in my LG GSA-H55L "Super multi dvd writer" ($49 at Sam's club i think) 4) Once the dvd mounted, I noted down the volume name (I don't know how important this really is) 5) I then copied all the files and subdirectories to a folder on my hard drive (I only created this folder to keep the files togeather on my pc. DO NOT change the directory structure when creating your iso) 6) Next, I copied the 5.1 LOADING.KWI over the 7.1 version   7) I then launched imgburn, and From the dropdown menu "Mode", I selected "Build" 8) I selected all the original subdirectories and files from the copy on my HD and dropped them into imgburn 9) Under the "Options" Tab I left the default selection "ISO9660 + UDF" for File System 10) Under the Label Tab I entered the volume name I wrote down in step 4 11) I then built the ISO   12) Once the ISO was created, From the Drop Down Menu "Mode", I selected "Write" 13) I selected the ISO file. 14) I put a blank Memorex DVD+R DL disc in the drive (Actually made by Rietek) 15) NOTE: I did not burn at the max speed of the drive. ( I used 2x. 1X may be better) 16) Clicked Burn and grabbed a beer.   17) About an hour later the burn was complete. Loading the Hybrid Disk in My 2008 Sienna   1) I turned on my ignition but did not start the vehicle. 2) ejected the 7.1 NAV DVD 3) Inserted the 5.1/7.1 dvd. 4) Turned off the ignition. 5) removed the negative cable from the battery fro about 5-10 min 6) replaced the negative cable. 7) Turned on my ignition. ( Nav complained a little about reading the new DVD, but loaded anyways. 8) Volia, The stupid "I agree screen" popped up.   Using the Hybrid DVD   To activate overide: 1) press menu button 2) select volume 3) touch upper left corner 4) touch lower left corner 5) touch upper left corner 6) touch lower left corner 7) Press and hold the "override" selection for a few seconds. It will remain a blue color 8) press back and you are ready to roll.   --- Override can be enabled at any time even while moving. --- All previous settings remained, except the last screen tilt selection.   Everything worked like it did in 7.1   --- Bluetooth works --- Satellite radio works --- FM radio Works --- DVD player works (not in front without the parking brake engauged. Maybe a hard wire bypas will work now. I hope this helps everyone that has been trying to make a hybrid 5.1/7.1 disk   ImgBurn is a lightweight CD / DVD / HD DVD / Blu-ray burning application that everyone should have in their toolkit! It has several 'Modes', each one for performing a different task: • Read - Read a disc to an image file • Build - Create an image file from files on your computer or network - or you can write the files directly to a disc • Write - Write an image file to a disc • Verify - Check a disc is 100% readable. Optionally, you can also have ImgBurn compare it against a given image file to ensure the actual data is correct • Discovery - Put your drive / media to the test! Used in combination with DVDInfoPro, you can check the quality of the burns your drive is producing Replies to this message: jmt27 (Jul 25, 2009 8:07 pm) adiehl13 (Jul 26, 2009 4:24 am) jmt27 (Jul 26, 2009 6:39 am) and 2 more...
#161 of 205 Map DVD doesn't not eject! by stasmatiosv Jul 01, 2009 (1:29 pm)
I have a 2005 Toyota Sienna XLE and am trying to insert my upgrade DVD. However, the original Map DVD doesn't eject.
#162 of 205 How can I keep the Audio screen displayed? by hengel Jul 02, 2009 (6:51 pm)
I have had a 2010 Sienna with the nav system (8.1) for less than a week, and every day I drive the car I hate the navigation system more. Should have done more research because I didn't know about the lockout while in motion, and lots of other stuff. I miss my Garmin.   Anyway, is it possible to continually display the audio screen? I just want to turn off the map and have the station identification show up. Replies to this message: trav2 (Jul 06, 2009 9:16 am)

Replying to: hengel (Jul 02, 2009 6:51 pm) To answer your second question to get the audio on all the time on the screen, on your front screen go into INFO and SCREEN SETTING and click OFF for automatic screen change from audio to navigation.   To answer your first question, I had the same frustration. I created a hybrid DVD with info from this site that allows me to keep the navigation system on all the time (no gray out) while moving so my passenger can access the navi while in motion. I have a 2009 Sienna. Here is the jest of that hybrid DVD that I downloaded from another user on this web page:   'DVD Override: I have received numerous requests for how to make the v06.1 Navi DVD w/ the version 5.1 override capability. You will need to author a Dual Layer DVD+R w/ all the files from your v6.1 NAV DVD & replace the v6.1 loading .kwi w/ the v5.1 loading.kwi in the main directory of the DVD."   With the change in the loading.kwi file, you can now override the in motion lockout of your navi system. It works great!
#164 of 205 Hybrid disk by hause7 May 18, 2009 (10:36 pm)
We had a Hybrid disk made and we can override the lockout. With the disk all you do is go to menu and click on volume and go to the left side of the screen and click in the upper corner and lower corner 4 times then this screen appears and you hit the override button then you have full control of the navi. We use it mainly on longer trips. It makes the Navigation system so much better than without.   You can check out Siennachat.com for more info.

Replying to: hause7 (May 18, 2009 10:36 pm) Does the hybrid disk have any drawbacks? Is it older software with flaws that have been fixed? Thanks for the suggestion. Replies to this message: s4f4m (May 28, 2009 6:36 pm)
#166 of 205 Re: Hybrid disk [gmva1] by s4f4m May 28, 2009 (6:36 pm)
Replying to: gmva1 (May 19, 2009 8:25 am) No issues here.   The only thing that I found is that the NAV DVD reader is VERY finicky. It will reject a disc (even the original NAV) if there is dirt or a slight scratch...and cause the system to be slow and lock up.   My first hybrid started locking up, so I put the original NAV disc back it. It must have had a small scratch on it b/c the NAV locked up will it also. Luckily in making the hybrid, I copied all the disc's files to my hard drive.   My second hybrid works great.
#167 of 205 How do I find the quick route option? by less3 Jul 17, 2009 (4:24 pm)
A relative tinkered with the navigation system on the 09 Sienna before I got to use it. I changed the system back to the appropriate geographic area, but the device wants to take me home via freeways/major highways rather than by a quick route. Somehow the only option that comes up as I punch routes is the one enabling various items (i.e., ferries), and there seems to be no way to get to an option that designates "quick." Has anyone a clue about how to get to the appropriate screen? The map gives the ferry/freeway etc. options only.
