After all, your attention would be taken from driving the car if you were plugging something into the power outlets. :P
OK, end of sarcasm, but not the end of the utter contempt I have for the nav system when compared to others.
Yesterday, when I pressed the nav/ac/stereo control panel, it only opened about a half inch and cannot even be pulled out manually.
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, is there an easy fix that doesn't involve going to the dealer? (I hate how long it takes them to do even the most minor repairs.)
Thanks to anyone with a suggestion.
My seats are wnoderful but, then again, don't own the Limited.
Note, I oringally put this message under 2007 Wishlist, but it seems as if that discussion has low number of readers. Thanks.
Good luck and continue to enjoy your Avalon!

I installed aftermarket into DVD NAV Harness in the trunk..plug and play..pretty much. Get the most out your NAV system..also can play DVD's on the NAV screen if you want.
Also...can one watch DVD's while in motion?
Perhaps you could share info like how much? And model numbers and where one can purchase this camera set-up?
Thanks!

TV lawyers - going beserk (and making work for themselves) and quite ridiculous!

I can activate the back up camera anytime and it automatically comes on when gear is in reverse.
One mistake, I got the ABS license frame-camera, and it is slightly warped already.
My total cost less than $600.
By all means, but make sure you look at the Consumer Reports review of the Lucerne (in the current issue). They didn't have much good to say about it.

I tried to find a link to the equipment you are using but I had no luck on finding the camera.
Can you provide some help in getting the details.
Thanks
and some have the Michelins? I think it may be a region
thing but not sure.
But glad it did!
Thanks,

Make sure that ODO is set to ODO setting not the a or b setting before you begin. Also be sure the seatbelt on the drivers side is NOT buckled. No foot on brake. Press START button 2 times and immediately press and hold the reset button for at least 10 seconds. Keep holding the reset button and fasten the seat belt. The ODO display with show on or off. Press reset button to cycle until you see off. Hit the Start button again. Now when you start the warning chime should be off. I think there are actually 2 warning chimes. One that goes for about 5 seconds and the other is a much longer term warning. This is the one that is shut off.
Thank you,

Rotated the tires at 10,500 miles and found no appreciable wear on the brake pads or rotors, was pleased to find it has 4-wheel discs, should be easy to replace the pads and rotors someday. Love it when there's one more thing I can do myself, that's why I finally sold our Mercedes. Couldn't take those $300. dealership oil changes a.k.a "Scheduled Maintenance A-Services" anymore.
No problems in 11,000 miles and 13 months we've owned our Avalon, we're happy as can be! Also no manufacturing-related problems with my 1993 Toyota pickup, which will turn over 229,000 miles on the way to NJ later this morning. Even at its age and mileage, it's without question that I take it on a 500 mile trip - of course, I do check the oil and other vitals before heading out.

"reset" button the one that we push to switch from ODO to Trip A to Trip B? If so, when I hold it down for 10 seconds or more while the ODO setting is displayed, nothing happens: there was no "on" or "off" display. (And so the seat belt chime continues to sound for a long time.)
1) Turn the Car On, Do not start the engine (Leave you foot off the brake). Cycle your trip reset knob until you it reads ODO. Turn the ignition back off. Wait a couple of seconds.
2) Make sure seat belt is not fastened
3) Turn the ignition back on, do not start the car (Leave you foot off the break) As soon as you see everything light up, press and hold the trip reset knob and do a long 12 second count.
3) Keep your finger on the trip reset knob. Fasten your seat belt, as soon as you fasten your seat belt, you should see the ODO display go from XXXX miles to "b-on". At that time take your finger off the trip reset knob and press it again. It should cycle to "b-off". You should be all set and turn the ignition off and unfasten your seat belt.
The seam on the bottom of my seat becomes so hard as if you were siting on top of a rope.. beyond that I also began to notice a piece of metal (perhaps the edge of fan's metal casing)very uncomfortable. I haven't contacted the dealer yet. The short term fix is a seat pad, but it's a shame to put a pad in a car so elegant like this one.
seems to be cropping up more and more lately.I wonder if it
makes a difference how the tilt of the seat is adjusted.
Assuming all the LTD seats are made the same you would think more people would find them uncomfortable.I was at a
dealer recently and looked under a XLS and a LTD seat but
could not see much.Maybe some fans are mounted lower or higher than others.
I have another "programming" question for anyone who may know the answer to this: when programming a new seat/mirror position onto the keyfob, what is the difference between the first set of instructions on page 62 of the Owner's Manual (which says: push the seat button #1 or #2 on the door and the lock or unlock button on the keyfob at the same time), versus the second set of instructions for "resetting" the fob's programmed driving position (which says to push the "set" button on the door and the lock or unlock button on the fob at the same time)? When or why would it ever be necessary to use the second set of instructions (for resetting), if following the first instructions will automatically cancel and override any previous seat position that had been programmed into the keyfob? Is this just a redundancy (two ways of accomplishing the same thing), or am I misunderstanding those instructions?
