#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)

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.

Replying to: trav2 (Jun 23, 2009 9:07 am) Can someone clarify how to override navigation for 2007 Sienna Limited AWD. Is the software update the only way? Thanks.

Replying to: jmt27 (Jul 25, 2009 8:07 pm) Are you trying to override the motion lock out? There was a website on how to do this. It works on my 2005, but not sure on the newer models. You go to the menu and to the screen where you control the volume (you see on the screen 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ). This sounds crazy but it works: you touch the top left hand corner of the screen, the bottom left corner of the screen, and repeat until you see this hidden menu come up. Then you hold down the "override" button until it beeps. you can then press "go back" and now you can work the navigation system while you're driving (or your passenger can).   Now, I'd just like to find this solution for the DVD. It's crazy one of us can't work the DVD controls while the car is in motion. IT causes one of us to have to lean all the way back to try to see the screen and figure out how to get to the next show etc. Really STUPID. Have the owners sign a waiver or do what HERTZ does. Press the "I agree" button at the beginning that says you won't operate while driving.

Replying to: adiehl13 (Jul 26, 2009 4:24 am) Yes, I heard that there was a way to override the motion lock out. I tried going to Menu screen and touching the upper left, lower left as mentioned in a few threads, but it didn't work. Possibly because we have a newer model.   Would you happen to know how to get the DVD player to play on the NAV screen while the car is in PARK?   Thanks for your input.
