Either way, what do I need to do to update the Navigation software?
To eject the old DVD map disc, push the button down and slide to the left. When you have done this the DVD map disc will eject. Be careful not to scratch or damage the DVD map disc.
The current version is V6.1. V7.1 will be released between October and December of 2007.
Press the MENU panel button, touch 'My Places', then touch 'Delete' to eliminate registered addresses.
Press the MENU panel button, touch 'Setup', scroll down to page 3 of 4, touch 'Delete' to eliminate old 'Previous Destinations'.
Lastly, if you have registered a cell phone for Bluetooth you must press 'INFO', then touch 'Telephone', touch 'Settings' and finally delete any items you don't want the new owner to find.
Aside from a brand new display, you can order an 86111-60250-OW from a local Toyota dealership. Call around to find the best price for the out of warranty display.
Thanks!
Is there any less expensive options that anyone is aware of?
Lastly, since the NAV screen also controls my A/C, I am a little concerned about the replacement cost of the screen or entire system once this unit dies.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how long the systems typically last? What are the options for replacement other than buying a new system or screen from Toyota which I have to believe will cost big bucks.
Let me know and thanks. Nelson
To confirm if the navigation ECU has failed try to eject the DVD map disc by sliding the button to the right and press the button down for 2-3 seconds. If the disc does not eject the navigation ECU has probably failed.
If it has failed the dealer can order an 86841-47020-OW... a rebuilt navigation ECU. Or you can check some junkyards for this part number. Unfortunetely, it has probably just reached its breaking point after six years.
How to verify if it works.... you need to give it 12 volts DC. At the very least you would need to connect a 12 volt battery capable of delivering about 3 amps for 15 minutes. That would at the minimum tell you if the DVD map disc would eject. To fully determine if it works you will need to connect to your vehicle. Be careful on the junk yard route since the unit could have been damaged by a collosion (if involved).
If so, then a remanufactured navigation ECU can be purchased for a lot less than $5587. The part number is 86841-47020-OW. The ECUs have new internals and DVD-ROM readers too. Call around for the best pricing since Toyota dealers are free to set their own pricing.
Can anyone tell us what this button does?
Thanks,
Could you tell those of us with working units what you have learned about how to prevent this from happening, since it sounds like it isn't documented in the manuals.
What is "Safe mode" and how do you implement it before changing the battery?
Thanks!
