2003/2004 Navigation System Specs?

[icepic]

Does anyone know of a place where I can find a detailed write-up on the '03/'04 4Runner navigation system? If there isn't a place, will somebody please provide this information?

In addition to the basic information, I'm specifically interested in any changes to the '04 system besides the publicized back-up camera. Does anyone know if the '04 version is currently or can be (with a firmware update) XM or Sirius capable (Like the new system in the Solara)? Does the '04 version support the 5 million points of interest (like the new system in the Solara) or the current 2 million? Are the points of interest part of the DVD updates (if they are, would the '03 system support 5 million data points with an update?) Anyway... Any information would be appreciated... For a good example of what I'm looking for, check this site out for Jeep's RB1 system...

The navigation mapping software was created by NavTech. The Toyota/Lexus DVD Navigation System, including the mapping and operational software, is assembled by Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC), Japan.

I don't have any information on the system but I have seen it work. It is a good system but does not really meet my needs for the price! I'm currently running a laptop in my 4runner using Delorme's USB GPS reciever with both their street and topographical software. You can read more information on this at www.delorme.com . It offers voice navigation and also respondes to voice commands. It is a VERY robust and expandable system for $129 plus the price of a laptop.


Something for you to consider.
