#309 of 349 Re: Day Mode on Navigation?? [rscofield] by fin Jun 24, 2009 (5:42 am)
Replying to: rscofield (Jun 24, 2009 4:56 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..

Replying to: fin (Jun 24, 2009 5:42 am) fin, 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
#311 of 349 Toggle Knob on 2005 Avalon Navigation by mike4217 Jun 25, 2009 (5:45 am)
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
#312 of 349 Have nav problems been solved on the '09 Avalons? by jwbooth Jun 25, 2009 (3:16 pm)
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?

#313 of 349 How do you change the voice in an '08? by seb5 Jun 27, 2009 (11:00 am)
I bought an 08 and absolutely love it, except for the nav system. The woman's voice drives me up a wall. Searched the manual but could not find how to change the voice. Does anyone know?

I have a 2007 Toyota Avalon. The Navigation manual is the worst thing I have ever seen.  I succeded in entering some points of interest as "Marked", but I don't know how to activate a particular markd to begin taking me there. Can anyone help?   Bernie Replies to this message: flagman1 (Jul 07, 2009 2:50 pm)

Replying to: bwinter314 (Jul 07, 2009 11:56 am) The factory installed system in my 2008 Avalon is gathering dust as I've been using and enjoying my Garmin Nuvi for the past six months -- so user friendly and satisfactory in every way. What a waste the Toyota system is!
#316 of 349 Edit Route by rscofield Jul 13, 2009 (12:50 pm)
OK, my '09 Avy Nav sucks - no argument there. I have a registered mark for my sons home in Raleigh, NC and it routes me down I-75. I would rather use I-64 and I see that I can modify my route after it's pulled up but then how do I save/register that preferred route? It's one of the 5 preset settings. Russ

Does anyone have a work around for the NAV system on a 2009 Avalon, to program while driving. Thanks in advance. If I could I would give the car back to Toyota because of this problem. $2000 and a piece of junk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Replying to: tdemoully (Jul 16, 2009 5:47 am) The company that makes "workarounds" is http://www.coastaletech.com/. But, they have avoided fixing the Avalon like it has bubonic plague. All the Avalon is good for is getting from point A to B. Between those two points it is pure frustration.
