#277 of 349 Avalon NAV Unit by gabbott Jul 09, 2008 (12:10 pm)
Replying to jordanfl;   The next time my wife leaves it in the garage long enough, I'll see if I can locate that spot, by the switch.   Sounds like we should put some kind of raincoat over that cardboard box, to protect it better?   Thanks...

Replying to Amauhry;   Thanks for the information. Strange. I do the same procedure at a different time, and don't get to see the full information about the POI (different POI).   We just need to play with it more, and re-read the book a few more times.   Thanks for offering to give us some help. We are just west of there (you)....we are in Tucson.   Who ever wrote the NAV Guide Book, doesn't speak our English. It appears that someone translated it from another language. It makes understanding the information difficult at times.   Thank you...

Reply to jordanfl;   I got another opportunity to look at the NAV unit in the trunk.   I was unable to locate any type of "spot under the left side of the slide switch". I even used a mirror and flashlight.   This will have to continue to be a mystery for now. It's not urgent. I'll just wait until I'm at the dealer, and ask them to show me.   Thanks for the help....

Reply to tkaz;   Could we be talking about different year Avalon's? Ours is a 2008, and I didn't see any button in/around the slide cover. Would it be inside the area, just uncovered by the opened slide? If so, that could be why I missed it. Is it on the bottom or top of that opened area? If it's in there, it must be painted the same color as the surrounding stuff. I guess they try to hide it, so that us owners won't see it and play with it!

Replying to: sharkmama49 (May 15, 2006 7:11 pm) First, make sure the DVD map disc in the navigation computer is 86271-3303X. The last digit doesnt matter since the higher it is the newer the map disc version.   Second, it the correct DVD is loaded the navigation computer is starting to fail. Toyota does offer an out of warranty exchange unit but it will be pricey. The part number is 86841-53030-OW.
#283 of 349 Saving off marked points by mikes. Jul 23, 2008 (8:03 pm)
Is there a way to save off all the entries you have made in the NAV system? I just bought a new 08 and would love to transfer the 50 odd entries I have on my 05. Replies to this message: amauhry (Jul 24, 2008 8:34 am)

Replying to: mikes. (Jul 23, 2008 8:03 pm) I don’t think there is. Marked Points along with other personalized information is stored on the Navigation ECU (a piece of hardware), which is attached to the car. This way, you can always update the navigation DVD while your personalize information remains intact. And I don’t think there’s a way of retrieving that information from the Nav ECU.   Worth considering, if you deem it justifiable, is swapping the ECUs (old and new). It’s quite simple doing it.   Amaury ’08 Limited

Replying to: bobu1 (Jul 24, 2008 9:33 am) Swapping the NAV ECU, isn't there a generational change between the 05 and the 08? I think I'd rather have the new unit. Replies to this message: amauhry (Jul 25, 2008 8:27 am)
