Not happy with the Navi and w/ question
I got a '06 Solara with Navi, and I am a little disappointed with it.
No more 6 disc changer and radio recept seems to be not that good.
There's no voice activation (while all other manufacturer are offering voice activation features)
And the operation seems not as user friendly as other offerings from e.g Honda
The biggest rant is the DVD map disc is dated 2003 (I took the disc out and the date is written on it). I can't believe Toyota is giving people a 3 years old map disc. I already have more than a couple of occation that the Navi gave me the wrong navigation instruction and wrong POI. Having the Navi to show you the wrong way sucks and defect the purpose. Even my old Garmin GPV III+ never tell me to get off the freeway exit that doesn't exist!
Question:
(1) Can I request Toyota to give me an update version of the DVD map data?
(2) Can I modified the unit to play DVD or install a TV tuner? (seems highly unlikely this can be done)
(3) What do I need to do if I choose to take the navi unit out and replace it with a single DIN head unit? Can I still maintain the steering control? Any instruction available online?
