My 04 navigation unit started coding check DVD and error; I took it to my dealer who advised that the Unit is defective and is causing a ridge to form on the control disk. Dealer advised to call the Toyota 800 number due to my 36K warranty is gone. Called toyota and they referred me back to my dealer who is giving me the stall.anyone with similar problem or possible solution thanks.
#3 of 349 Latest Nav DVD Version? by pdr99 Jul 28, 2005 (3:59 pm)
The DVD version number on my menu screen ("DVD" is upper right icon) screen says "Ver.04.1". I saw a version 4.2 referenced somewhere but cannot relocate.   Does anyone have any info on a later DVD version? If so, is there any way to find out changes from previous revision?   PDR99 Replies to this message: rod8 (Aug 18, 2005 8:19 pm) neil5 (Mar 17, 2006 6:04 pm) algee (Sep 01, 2006 4:03 am)

Replying to: pdr99 (Jul 28, 2005 3:59 pm) I've called Toyota a couple of times about the navigation system in the Avalon. I don't like it. I've looked at the Prius and also the Lexus, both great systems. I was told today, that the Avalon uses the #3 system and the others use the #4. I don't know who made this decision but it was a bad one. I think if enough people complained they would change it. I think it is a soft ware problem but I'm not that much into computers. The biggest difference I can see, is when you go to the POI and press enter, the others highlight "LIST" which the Avalon doesn't. You have to go through several more steps in order to show the lists. Thanks, Rod Replies to this message: neil5 (Mar 17, 2006 6:04 pm) algee (Sep 01, 2006 4:03 am)

Replying to: rod8 (Aug 18, 2005 8:19 pm) First, I have friends with Lexus system (both voice). Lexus touch screen, Avalon has Mouse. Functionality is the same. I had daughter type up all 150 voice commands on one sheet of paper and laminated it for the car. "Push button and say Chinese, japanese, Atm, Hospital, emergency etc. Very easy and same can be done with mouse. you can move the circle over the item in the distance on the map and it will tell you exact milage to that site. This is a very fast system with excellent voice recognition, so you people afraid of computers relax. So far the Avalon is the best buy I have found.

#7 of 349 2005 Toyota Avalon Limited Night Nav Screen by arkitek4 Jul 11, 2005 (9:03 am)
Night Nav Screen I am unable to get the night nav screen to show. The day screen is always on.When I first brought the car home, the night screen showed up in a darkened garage, but have been unable to get it to darken lately. On the contrast/brightness screen the "day mode" does not appear. How do I bring that screen back? Can someone walk me thru the setup commands?

Replying to: arkitek4 (Jul 11, 2005 9:03 am) Just took the car in to Toyota: They set all the switches to default on the display screen and the night mode came back along with the toggle to keep the bright screen at night. End of story! Replies to this message: fragmire (Jul 13, 2005 9:06 am) leinad (Sep 08, 2005 6:19 pm)

Replying to: arkitek4 (Jul 12, 2005 8:39 am) Arkitek4: What switches? Are these within the navigation system or are they hardware switches somewhere? Replies to this message: leinad (Sep 08, 2005 6:19 pm)

Replying to: fragmire (Jul 13, 2005 9:06 am) is there any way to get rid of the initial navigation question where you accept to drive safely? seems ridiculous to have to agree a zillion times!
