Replying to: bushman26 (Nov 13, 2006 6:56 pm) I had the same problem but I found a local place that will recone the subwoofer for $40. Their website is www.simplyspeakers.com. Good luck! |

I own an 07 Avalon touring without NAV. I am having a problem with the display turning off and back on while driving. This happens on its own and all I am doing when this happens is listening to a CD. Usually after this occurs I lose the ability to adjust the volume or any audio settings (bass, etc...). The only way to regain controls is turn car off and back on.  I have the XM Direct kit for Toyota and an Alpine Amp/Sub installed (done by Crutchfield). Any ideas? Thanks

I have a 06 Avalon XLS without the Manufacturer navigation system but I have the JBL Syn. System. One year has passed and I must admit, I'm overall very satisfied. A few months in, I was experiencing the annoying dashboard squeaks but they are long gone, 20K miles now. My wife is now considering I get the Navigation system. I know there are portable models on the market but I am one for esthetics and was considering upgrading with the navigation system option model that is/was offered with the car in 06. I am not sure if my display window will need to be replaced or not, but overall does anyone know if this is even possible? And if so, what's the est cost; with and without the dealer installation. Thank you

My wife is wanting to get a 2007 Avalon Limited. However, her and I are both sound quality freaks so we plan to replace whatever system comes in the car with aftermarket stereo and navigation systems. (No matter how 'good' a stock stereo is advertised to be, they always fall well short in terms of sound quality when compared to top notch aftermarket stuff.) Has anybody here replaced their stock Avalon stereo with an aftermarket system (Alpine, Kenwood, eclipse, etc.)? I am afraid that with all the systems (stereo/nav/climate control) being integrated into the one display, we may encounter problems when trying to scrap the stock system. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have a 2005 Limited with NAV and something has been "bugging" me since I got the car.. There is no vlume indicator.. When I turn the volume up or down, nowthing shows up on the screen... is this because I have NAV? Thanks for any help. |

Replying to: rochambeau (Apr 20, 2007 1:41 pm) Yes, you CAN put an aftermarket stereo in a 2005-2007 Avalon IF you don't have one of the two JBL systems in it. This from the people at Crutchfield.com who say that because the climate controls go through the stereo, you need to get a special harness so you can RELOCATE the factory head unit (to the trunk or wherever). Then feel free to put in an aftermarket head unit, etc.. They say if you have the JBL system (with or without Nav system) then you are out of luck, no aftermarket soup for you! It really is crummy the lengths the auto manufacturers are going to in order to try and force people to buy their lousy stock stereos. For all the ballyhoo, the JBL system is a piece of garbage  just like nearly every other stock stereo. For $5,000 (the cost of the JBL with Nav & XM) you can get a Pioneer AVIC-N3, plus a great amp plus some decent speakers and get it all installed. It will have far superior sound, many many more features (like XM-NavTraffic, iPod integration, mp3 capability, etc.) and will leave you the option of future upgrades as well. Fortunately, for every 10 roadblocks the manufacturers put up, the aftermarket industry figures out a way around 9 of them. The car companies just love charging $5K for a stereo they buy for $300. If they would just put decent equipment in to begin with, then everyone would win. Oh well, thus endeth the rant. |
