The Pioneer AVIC-D1 fits perfectly. Its $1600. Try Crutchfield http://www.crutchfield.com/S-nN4PL7GTbpl/cgi-bin/ProdGroup.asp?g=182350&avf=Y

Get a Garmin StreetPilot 2610 for about $600. Then you can put it in any car you want.

Navigation System Limited When In Motion

I have a 2005 Camry with a factory installed navigation system. After purchasing the car I learned that you cannot change the destination if the car is in motion. I have had four cars with navigation systems and this is the first time I have had a car with such a limitation. I HATE IT!! When I am on a freeway and want to enter a destination (such as finding a restaurant) I have to pull over, stop the car, then selection the destination. Does anyone know of a hack for the system that will allow the navigation system to be used when the car is in motion?
Thanks.

What you can do is input your destination before getting in the freeway? Problem solved. Your other cars could be older model with some of the first navigation systems. However the reason why you shouldn't change your destination while in motion is simply "safety". Not only your safety but others. you can change it in a light, or as a say before you get to the freeway. While driving you should be looking straight ahead not the navigation system. you could hack it. but will void some warranties, or simply get used to it

Ridiculous. I have two BMW's with navi's, have had three navigation systems prior to this, have two portable GPS systems, have a GPS on a motorcycle, and I always rent from Hertz with their (pathetic, but still the best for rental cars) Neverlost system. I know GPS systems and am not a novice. There are only a couple of current manufacturers that completely restict the GPS from use while in motion. This is not a restriction on new models, it is just something that a few manufacturers have relented on in deference to their lawyers. The vast majority of factory installed GPS systems just give you a warning when you use them with the car in motion. I understand all the safety issues. The same safety issues exist with cell phones, CD players (changing discs, searching for songs, setting options like repeating songs, etc.), tilt steering wheels, etc. I don't need the manufacturer to dictate the restriction. I can exercise judgement myself. The reality is, when using a GPS system, many, many times you are driving along, hopefully in a safe situation, and need to find a gas station, parking lot, ATM, or restaurant nearby. It is absurd to think that people will pull off of a turnpike exit, program their GPS, then pull back on. In addition, with most GPS systems, the system is accessible to both driver and passenger. Many times my wife searches the navi while I am driving, or vice versa. The other situation, even more common with a GPS system is to change your routing option when you encounter traffic. The Toyota navigation system is the most restrictive of any I have used when the car is in motion. It is essentially useless at that time, except to shut it off or ignore it when you change your mind. I am also aware of the risk to my warranty. That is a secondary problem for me. First, I just want to know if it is possible to override the option that causes it to be essentially non-programmable when in motion. I fully expect that I am stuck with what I bought, but I have to say, if I had known this when I bought the car I would not have purchased it. For now, I have mounted my portable Garmin Streetpilot on the dash and use that instead of the factory system.

I just bought a new sienna with Navigation and just found the same problem. It seems to engage about 12 miles per hour. The way I solved the restaurant problem was to set the POI to display restaurants then I can touch one and it will tell me the name of the restaurant and allow me to press enter to take me there. Seems to work so far. Hope this helps let me know if you need more information.

Is the system the same as in the Prius? There is a company coming to market with a by-pass for the Prius navigation system. You may wan to check it out, maybe ask if it will work for you.
