Is it possible to have the Toyota factory NAV system retro-fitted to the '05 Avalon Touring Model?
#7 of 349 2005 Toyota Avalon Limited Night Nav Screen by arkitek4 Jul 11, 2005 (9:03 am)
Night Nav Screen I am unable to get the night nav screen to show. The day screen is always on.When I first brought the car home, the night screen showed up in a darkened garage, but have been unable to get it to darken lately. On the contrast/brightness screen the "day mode" does not appear. How do I bring that screen back? Can someone walk me thru the setup commands?

Replying to: arkitek4 (Jul 11, 2005 9:03 am) Just took the car in to Toyota: They set all the switches to default on the display screen and the night mode came back along with the toggle to keep the bright screen at night. End of story! Replies to this message: fragmire (Jul 13, 2005 9:06 am) leinad (Sep 08, 2005 6:19 pm)

Replying to: arkitek4 (Jul 12, 2005 8:39 am) Arkitek4: What switches? Are these within the navigation system or are they hardware switches somewhere? Replies to this message: leinad (Sep 08, 2005 6:19 pm)

Replying to: fragmire (Jul 13, 2005 9:06 am) is there any way to get rid of the initial navigation question where you accept to drive safely? seems ridiculous to have to agree a zillion times!
#12 of 349 NAVIGATION SYSTEM by mersky Nov 14, 2005 (7:28 pm)
Just purchased the 2006 Avalon. We've used navigation systems before and this is the first that doesn't allow us to input a destination while driving. It takes the fun out of using it. There must be a sensor connected to the axel. The function activates the moment the car comes to a stop. I understand the legal problem, but doesn't the Agree button indemnify Toyota? It doesn't make sense. The passenger is not operating the vehicle. Anyway, is there a way to deactivate this restriction?

Replying to: mersky (Nov 14, 2005 7:28 pm) I would also be interested in a simple way of bypassing this silly restriction. I just traded in an '05 Honda Odyssey Touring with nav. The nav in the Honda allowed the use of all the navigation functions while driving. This came in especially handy this summer during 2 major trips from the Las Vegas area to Wisconsin, to Florida and back to Nevada. While driving, we would use the POI to find motels and call while on the way. If we made better time than we anticipated or decided to just drive further, my wife would use the POI list to find something further down the road. While we were doing this, we could continue to eat up the miles at (generally) around 80mph. It would have been a major pain if we had to stop every time we wanted to use the POI list. I also have a Garmin 2610 which we use if we fly and rent a car. This is also functional while driving. Both the Garmin and the Honda unit (made by Alpine) have the usual "pay attention while underway blah blah blah", so I think that Toyota is being just a bit over zealous in their attempt to nanny us.

Replying to: rsblaski (Nov 18, 2005 1:21 am) True but the voice activation does let you locate sites by voice command.."mall, gas station, hotels, etc" Read your manual Replies to this message: bobwiley (Mar 17, 2006 7:59 pm) theazlit (Apr 03, 2006 6:40 pm) bobwiley (Apr 03, 2006 7:20 pm)

Replying to: neil5 (Mar 17, 2006 6:07 pm) Toyota Nv System is TOTALLY user "unfriendly" and I'm sorry I got it. I can't even put in my home address--its not recognized along with many other spots in our area. Nav Sys on Lexus ES is great--same with TL. I bought Nav Sys & Remote Start on an impulse--neither are that great--I love the Laser Cruise. I've written to Toyota and voiced my disstisfaction with the Nav Sys. I've told friends who after seeing our Avalon are considering one--DO NOT buy the Nav System--buy a Garmin GPS for $600-$900--or better yet--ask directions!!
