#300 of 313 Re: Nav system for 2008 Limited [generose] by amauhry Nov 01, 2008 (7:34 pm)
Replying to: generose (Oct 31, 2008 8:06 am) Hi there,   I make a living dealing and solving difficult things on paper and out in the field. With this, I tell you that the Avalon's GPS is a bit cumbersome whereas most portable units dominating the market are not. Therefore this is a MINUS for Toyota.   Although I have found most if not all the capabilities of the Avalon's GPS that does not necesseraly mean that I'm in love with it.   And, no, I do not work for Toyota. My paycheck comes from a totally different institution.   Amaury '08 Limited
#301 of 313 Daylight Savings Time by fool1717 Nov 04, 2008 (8:32 am)
One small complaint -- The clock in the Avalon with nav gets its time from the GPS system. Daylight Savings Time has ended, but the GPS time did not change. I had to change the time on my clock manually.

Replying to: generose (Nov 26, 2008 3:47 pm) you are right just got a Avalon 08 did not expected that toyota would do cheap programming on a nav compare to honda got a 05 odyssey is a whole lot better than a toyota 08 Avalon, Engine on Avalon is excellent but the only bad about this Avalon is Nav and Bluetooth also sucks can't do thing on motion not even a passenger can put or change a destination, Also voice command sucks also don't know how many time does Avalon had to heard bad words from the owners...

#307 of 313 Couldn't take it any longer by flagman1 Feb 02, 2009 (2:48 pm)
I finally had it up to here with the nav system. I purchased a Garmin Nuvi 750 and it's fantastic! User friendly, accurate and dependable. I hate to think of the expensive piece of junk that sits unused behind my dash now, but that's too bad.
#308 of 313 Day Mode on Navigation?? by rscofield Jun 24, 2009 (5:56 am)
We have a new '09 Avalon with Navigation. I drove the car in the dark for the first time and expected that the Nav screen would darken. Not so. It remained in Day mode and I had to turn the screen off as it was distracting. The manual tells how to set the screen to Day mode all the time but does NOT tell how to undo this feature unless I have missed it. The car was a demonstrator and I guess someone may have set this or we may have done so inadvertently. How do I retrieve the setting where the screen darkens when driving at nite?

Replying to: rscofield (Jun 24, 2009 5:56 am) Check the "instrument briteness knob" on the dash. If it is set to the max, plus a little click, the Nav screen will never go to nite mode. Turn it back to a more normal dash light setting and the Nav screen will resume the normal day/nite function. This works on the '07, not sure about yours, try it and see. Enjoy your Avy, great cars..
