You are in the Toyota Avalon Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
If you gathered all the idiots in the world in one place and told them to design a navigation system what they would come up with is now on the Toyota Avalon.

| 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. | |

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? Thks, Russ

Replying to: fin (Jun 24, 2009 5:42 am) Right you are my friend. Put a black sock over the dashboard sensor and voila! Night mode was working because I had backed off the "click" on the brightness knob. Turned it to the click and back to day mode. I really appreciate your help. I have read both the nav & owner's manuals and did not see anything about that feature in them. Thanks again! Russ |

Hi, Recently, vandals threw bricks through my side windows and I believe some of the smaller pieces of glass somehow lodged under the toggle knob on the navigation system. Now, when I try to press enter, it almost never works (it ends up scrolling right, left, up, down-switching to French- ARGH). I tried taking the unit out and apart, but it seems the toggle is connected to the circuit board. Any ideas? Thanks |

I see tons of posts thru the 08 Avalons, and then there are almost no posts beginning in 09. Did Toyota change/upgrade the Nav system including the voice recognition? Just test drove an 09 Avalon Limited with nav and loved it, but now considering passing if the Nav system is still a piece of junk. 09 owners - are you happy with it?
