DVD to update GPS on 2002 Camry XLE by christine27106

I have gotten nothing but runaround from my local dealer (ditto for Toyota 800 Customer Service number...they referred me back to dealer)
 
Question 1:
When will the new updated version be available and at what cost. Nobody can give me anything but vague answer.
Question 2
Can I just buy the disk in put it in myself, or is this a dealer only process.
Question 3
Is is worthwhile to update my onboard GPS or does it make more sense to give up and buy portable system from Garmin or someone

I just checked and the dealer can order, but they want $295.00 for the update DVD. If you find it cheaper somewhere else please let me know. It is Version 7.1

I'm not familiar with that system but I think it's just a matter of popping in the DVD yourself.
 
As for whether or not it's worth it... the question is what kind of problems are you are having? If you are missing roads and POIs (as I'd expect with a map disk that old), then I would think the system would be dramatically improved. My understanding is that the dealer sets the retail price so call around to different dealers and look for the best price.

What dealer?
I was told a few months ago $200, last week when I started this frustrating journey...they said $300. And when I asked for Service to see if I can "self-install" no one had a clue.

I am in Denver, CO and Burt Toyota Parts department is who I have been talking to. According to the manual, all you have to do is put the disk in and it will do the update for you, but I think the price is way to high. I am trying to talk the leasing company I got my car into buying a disk and sharing it with all their customers. No luck in that path yet. Have a great day.

Toyota Camry Navigation sytem by prb2

I recently purchased a 2007 Camry SE with a navigation system. The system was equipped with a navigation disc that was 2 years old. Checking with Toyota, I was advised that the disc was upgraded every year, obviously that is not happening. Even the 2008 nav systems that I checked were out of date, making the disc three years old. In contacting Toyota, I was referred to the dealership, and ultimately told me that there was nothing they would do. I was advised by Toyota and the dealer that the new disc came out the first of November and could be upgraded for a cost of $250. Bottom line, if you want a navigation system for your vehicle, invest in a good Garmin system fro a lot less money.

Yes, I am leaning in that direction, although I am not quite sure how the portable systems update the information (SIMS chip, download from where?)
 
What irks me--and that is why I came to this group--is that I paid $2000 extra for my car, just to have the GPS.
 
Now I cannot get a straight answer from Toyota, nor the dealer.
 
GRRRRR

The MSRP for the DVD map disc updates are $250. Check with different dealers to find the best price.
 
You can install the DVD map disc yourself. The navigation computer is located in the trunk on the drivers side. Simply slide the lever to the right and push the button to eject the DVD map disc.
