Does the hybrid disk have any drawbacks? Is it older software with flaws that have been fixed? Thanks for the suggestion.

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.

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.

Can someone clarify how to override navigation for 2007 Sienna Limited AWD. Is the software update the only way? Thanks.

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.

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.

Creating that Hybrid Disk by superkel

I am so glad to hear that there is something that can be done to fix this frustrating issue with the Navi. I too just purchased my 2010 Sienna 2 weeks ago and not happy that my passenger cannot put in our destination while I am driving. I read the post on creating that hybrid disk. I went out and purchased the dual layer disk trying make that one . The problem is ... I am not savy with it with all the codes. Can someone walk me through the process of creating the hybrid disk? I would really appreciate it.

I know this is a few years old but I have the same issue today. Where nav system works but the unit shows me being somewhere completely different from where I currently am at. has anyone had this issue fixed yet? If so what was the cure? The dealer says i need to buy the latest Map and it will fix it....But honestly I can tell just from the conversation they aren't really confident about that....it seems so one told them and they are 100% sure it will work or they are just outright guessing.
 
I just am looking for verification on the solution and I am open to any other remedies.
 
thanks

Q. about backup cam by ateixeira

Do all models with Nav also have the backup cam?
 
Do they add trajectory lines?

This could mean that it's not getting a GPS signal. Did you have any work done, add a satellite radio tuner, etc before you noticed this? If so, it could simply be that the GPS antenna is unplugged.
 
Another thing to look at is the compass symbol in upper left corner. Just under that, there should be a "GPS" icon. If the icon has disappeared, it means it is not getting GPS reception. (No reception is normal in a parking garage or tunnel but it should never disappear out in the open road.)
