I have a 2004 Toyota Sienna. We're Realtors and constantly use the navigation system as part of our jobs. The last time I checked Toyota did not have an updated version of the software. We get our Inifinity's nav system updated every year... what's going on with Toyota???

Hi,
 
I have the same problem. I also have a 2004 Toyota Sienna and need Navigation updates. According to my local dealer, the next update is due January/February 2006. Hope this helps.

The new DVD map disc will be available in January. The MSRP will be $250.

About to purchase 2006 Sienna Limited. Dealer offered to install Eclipse Nav package to HE model as HO model hard to find. What's the difference between Eclipse and Toyota nav units. Dealer will also install bluetooth and back up camera.

The back-up camera is not a big deal to integrate with the Eclipse navigation unit. When the vehicle is placed in reverse it will display the rear camera input.
 
I am curious how the Bluetooth will be integrated with the Eclips radio/navigation unit. If it is an aftermarket Bluetooth adaptor it will not mute the radio or navigation when a call is received or replaced unless it has provisions for such. In contrast, the factory navigation unit will mute all sources when a call is in process. Plus the factory navigation features (06MY Sienna) feature voice dialing too! The Eclipse unit is just not as advanced.
 
The last MAJOR concern is the warranty. The factory installed navigation comes with a 3 year or 36K mile factory warranty. If the navigation should fail (or the back-up camera) the dealership will repair and replace the unit... nationwide. However, the aftermarket unit (or camera) may need to be handled by Eclipse. Plus all of this non-factory equipment must be integrated with your vehicle. While the unit in the dash will be easy to integrate the rear view camera will require a more extensive installation process.
 
Check with the dealership and be cautious! Other dealers do not like to handle other dealer installed options (DIO) when issues arise. If you move it may become an issue to have the vehicle serviced under warranty.

Thanks! I'll wait for a another car with factory installed equipment.

Not to be confused with the Toyota/Lexus Gen 2 and 3 DVDs now showing up on eBay as the latest 5.1 data released in Jan 2006 --- the 2006 Sienna has a Gen 5 system and that DVD is not due out until late January per Toyota Tech Support.
 
I'm disappointed I just purchased a 06 XLE Limited and now I would need to spend $250 to get the update given the lack of updated info on the DVD for Massachusetts.

If you do find some map discrepancies report them either to your local dealership or to Toyota Customer Relationships 800 331 4331. Give them the specific information that is missing so that they can investigate it and get it fixed.
 
Another alternative is to report them directly to NAVTEQ. Use the following link to report to them - http://www.navteq.com/updates/mapfeedback.html

Has anyone heard anything about when the Toyota voice activated navigation system will be available on the 2006 Sienna? Avalon and some other Toyota models already have it - Lexus has it of course.
