Sienna GPS and Rear-view camera

Did you get the JBL sound?

A while back I looked in to this. At the time, about 2-3 years ago, Toyota's best Nav system, from the Solara, was something like $1695 IIRC. You would also have to buy the surround, the plastic template thingy, which I never priced.

The catch was without the JBL system I would lose the steering wheel audio controls. For me that was a deal killer.

Having said that, feedback on the OEM Nav is iffy. It's expensive, and map updates are seldom.

I just bought a Garmin 1490T model, and added a vent mount, for my Sienna. It's got a 5" screen, a little smaller than the OE screen (I think 7"), but it's closer and easier to use the touch screen. Plus they're under $400 brand new. I got a refurbished one for $239, and it's been perfect.

Smaller portables start at $79, but get a big screen and you get the OEM feel with the portable price.

What I paid is about what a map update costs from Toyota!

Is this Garmin GPS installed in the Van or just hooke on the windsheild?

I bought a vent mount from MountGuys.com.

It positions the GPS closer to you, to make it easier to reach the touch screen.

The windshield is way too far IMHO.
