Using Toyota (Prius) GPS/Navigation in Europe by danfff

Then a general question (am planning to buy a Prius this weekend in the US and take it sometime later to Europe):
 
The Toyota Prius uses a Garmin data DVD under the passenger seat. Is it generally impossible to substitute a European data DVD? Some US dealers are apparently telling folks they simply go to a European dealer for a new DVD-rom.

The navigation computer underneath the drivers seat is built to US specifications for Toyota by Denso... not Garmin. The European navigation computer is built by Aisin.
 
Since the Aisin navigation ECU uses a different operating system the DVD-ROM in Europe will not be compatible with US spec'd computer.

Thanks for the correction (it is Denso-made, am now told the data is from NavTech) - completely different from the European prius.
 
The point is whether any Denso or Navtech data set could be purchased/substituted to make the US-market Prius GPS operable on another continent. If you hear of anything, I'm all ears & probably not the only one. In the meantime, here's a thread on the Prius DVD-rom & its contents.

Hello ... I have a 2007 Camry XLE with the DVD Navigation system. Does anyone know what the latest version of the navigation DVD is and when a new one might be available?
 
Thanks,
Manny

Sounds great. Do I have to go to a Toyota dealer? Is the price cheaper elsewhere?
 
Thanks again,
Manny

Each Toyota or Lexus dealer is able to set their own pricing so shop around.

We have just gotten the new Camry Hybrid ( about 2 months ago). I have a Garmin nuvi in my car. What can we do to get Toyota to realize that their navigation system is awful? The user interface needs a degree...nothing is intuitive or obvious...or perhaps the nuvi just spoilt me!!!
How can we get Toyota's attention?
