Toyota just released the new V9.1 DVD map disc. I picked up mine for $199! I bought one 2 years ago for $265. I also got the part numbers: 86271-GEN23-09 86271-33038 (2003-2006 Avalon) 86271-AVLN3-09 86271-41013 (2007-2009 Avalon)

| Were there any improvements for rurual areas and areas with low population density? The older versions just drop you in the middle of nowhere when they decide there is not enough data to provide a route. | |

| NAVGUY - Where did you get your disk for $199. Definitely a better price than I have found. Thanks. | |

| I just talked to 7 Toyota dealers in the Colorado area trying to find this disc. The range in availability was September 11 to February 2010. The range in price was $215 to $300. Lots of variability. | |

I am driving a 2002 XLS and would like to consider the 2010 Limited. I see a large number of complaints regarding the navigation system in the 2009 and earlier models. Does anyone know if Toyota changed the navigation system in the 2010 model? Thanks. |

We all know it stinks but BEWARE! My '07 Limited's voice recognition broke - local's and regional service folks didn't have a clue! After a few weeks of following Toyota's recommended procedures they: 1. Replaced the microphone - $400, still not working, 2. Replaced the radio-$2,000, still not working, 3. Replaced the "ECU" Electronic Control Unit", the computer if you will-$5,000, finally working, but still stinks. LOTS of $$$ (labor not included) for a minor convenience item. Thank goodness we are still under warranty! |

Replying to: guyever (Oct 13, 2009 6:25 am) I never received any response to my message. If I were buying now I would most likely not get the navigation system. Based on the number of complaints you would expect that Toyota would have improved the system; however they did not change anything else on the car for 2010 so they possibly did nothing about the navigation system. I don't know if they use the same navigation system in the Camry, but you don't see complaints about the Camry so I would presume it is different. I drive a 2002 Avalon which is still a great car. I was considering trading on a 2010 and was disappointed when they came out a few weeks ago and there were no updates to the car. I don't use a navigation system now but since I drive a car for 7 to 8 years I thought I would consider it when I trade. I am now taking a close look at the Venza.
