Re: AVN5500 vs OEM Toyota Nav The 5500 doesn't do voice nav as far as I know. In order to do voice with the Toyota nav, I belive you'll also need to purchase the Toyota mic, the steering wheel buttons for the right side, and a ribbon cable connecting the right side buttons to the left side...

Or get the non-JBL unit, and use the money you save towards the nav unit from the Camry which will fit...or get one of the Eclipse nav systems (like the AVN5500). I just installed that one in my car today! I love it so far. They are made by the same company that makes them for Toyota (Fujitsu...

The website is coastaletech.com, and I think this is the link you are specifically looking for: http://www.coastaletech.com/nav_kit.htm Update: I see this is for the Prius so I'm not sure if it will work.

Someone mentions doing it with the Vais AIC-100i interface in this thread (on the first page): http://www.toyota-4runner.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=15210&perpage=15 but they said it made the nav run hot. You might want to send them an email or a pm.

The 5500 is out already, in fact I own it. It is basically exactly the same as the 5435. The 6600 gives you dual DVD drives, so you can use the navigation system and have a rear entertainment system going at the same time. It has a couple other extras as well. Neither the 5500 or the 6600 are...

This is definitely the nav system made for the 4Runner, and not the Toyota nav system made for the Camry/Solara? Both will fit into the 4Runner. The Camry system can be had for that price, but lacks some features included with the 4Runner model (which is close to 4K list, not including gps...

Just bought the AVN5500 and can confirm the navigation and DVD player will work if the parking brake wire is grounded. It also includes a new version of the mapping DVD.

Re: Re: Limited w/ Hood Scoop? The OEM nav from OEMvalue (if that is what you are referring to) is now $2K. He jacked up the price because the '07 models will only fit into the '07 Camry and 00-05 Avalon. Anyway, the nav system that comes with the 4Runner Limited is quite different than the...

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: P/N for Aux input? Sure - I'm still waiting for some trim pieces and an Sirius tuner so it probably won't be for a week or so.

Re: Re: Re: P/N for Aux input? If I had bought the Toyota nav, I was going to add the button on the steering wheel for voice commands. But I just bought an Eclipse AVN5500 nav system which doesn't have voice commands so no need for the extra buttons at this point. It does have an aux input...

There's a guy that posts on the forum "Michaelj945" - he runs the site toyotapartsdirect.com He helped me track down the part #'s for the '06 steering wheel controls, so maybe he can help. I think he also said he would give forum members an extra discount. Maybe try and give him a call.

'06 SR5 V6 for $200 over invoice. Sunroof, tow package, leather wheel w/radio controls, roof rack, tonneau cover, 17" Al wheels, some other small stuff...invoce was 28,900, I paid 29,100. Only fees paid were tax and $150 for reg because I was out of state, and a $40 doc prep fee. Do not pay...

GrantMethePower- I was almost in the exact same situation as you. I previously owned an Audi A4, and was a very active member of the Audi community, online & offline. It was a great car for me after college, but then I got married and bought a house. :eek: I was one of the people who used to...

I can't believe it but they deleted my question off the forum. Actually I can believe it...
