If you do order it, and want to avoid waiting for a reply to your e-mail, or want to avoid PayPal, I think I still have the number lying around.
I think you'll be happy with it.
The hardest part is the cutting.
Go slow and take a little off each time and make plenty of test fits. I probably made like 25 myself, and most came from the original cutting that didn't leave room for the face to slide down.

can this unit be hooked up with a sat tuner (sirius)? It says sat, why not? That would be awesome, instead of the usual fm modulator. There is a stock antenna switch for older trucks that you could put in, im not sure of the pn though/.

I'm actually going to look into Sirius. I don't see why it wouldn't be possible.
You can always look for a unit that's like the "MY-FI" or what ever, that you put next to your radio and tune it to 88.3 or 88.9. Plus things like that are nice and portable.
I would like a hardwired unit.
One thing I'd rather do than pay a subscription each month is buy a unit that gets it for free. Say like you pay a one time fee of $600(random#) for the unit and that will cover subscription fees.
Kinda like NAV does. You but the unit and the software, and that helps pay for the satellites and all. Get me?

I did this awhile back too when they first came out with them. The flash makes the fabric seem a lot more fuzzier and shinnier (sp?) then it looks in person.

I was thinking about that same place but not covering it up with fabric.
That is one thing I don't really want to cut into though.
Can ya help me out with a model number/price with that?
And is it one of the units you can take with you that uses the radio to tune to 88.whatever?

I didn't really try plus the weather isn't the greatest here yet.
Once I get around to that, I'll have the voice and maybe some other features that you can see on the screen, but can't touch.
I still never found the speed wire. I think It's green with orange stripe if I remember from asking.
It is...https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/vehicle-speed-sensor-wire-location-14343/

It's not cut. All the guy did was remove the plastic cup thing, and built around it, a small holder. He then covered the whole thing in fabric. When needed, the whole thing can be taken apart and put back to stock. The wires are run through the paneling, and down the side, and into the radio, and run on 88.5.
I can go look up the model number, but i dont think they sell this model anymore. and yes you can just pull it out and take it with you and attach in another car, or to a home base unit.

I took some more pics of it last night. Pic one shows a feature that is disabled since I don't have the speed sensor wire tapped.
The white box is not around it. I do not have voice guidance yet, unless it's just a feature that enables when you have a destination programmed in. Only one way for me to find out.
A shot of the whole dash. Note the Green knobs on the radio, I want those for my climate control knobs. I'd rather have the ring on the knob than the halo around the knob. Get me?
A night shot with overhead map lights on showing the NAV and CD slots. I can barely see the CD slot from the angle where I sit since the radio is so low.
A shot of the CD screen text.
I have more photos of the 4 colors you can choose from, both "day" and "night" shots, but they aren't the greatest.
Colors are blue, green, gray and beige.

Pictures in the first column are "night" pics as I recall, and second column are "day" pics. (Autodims with headlights)
Green:

Gray:
Beige:
Calendar shot:
A shot of the face with the "screen off" feature at night. You can see the knobs that I'd like to have for climate control better.

S'more pics.
This shows that it does have the capability to calibrate for larger or smaller tires. How and if it works, I don't know.
This shows where you can change the speeds at which you travel to better help estimating the time of a trip from point "A" to point "B".
This is for Dibble who asked about brightness adjustments.
This shows a feature where you can avoid known bad areas. I think if you program in a "bad" area, it will automatically reroute you around it. I am not 100% positive on this. The book is quite long and I still have yet to get through it.

We have three Camry and three Solara Navigation systems in stock. Sadly, this will be the last batch of Toyota Navigation systems we will have for sale for a while, and possibly, forever.
