Man, that would be tempting at that price. But, IIRC, those won't work in my '04 Nav...correct?

Dr, Fusco.

My Prius Tech took the existing CD out of an 04 and 05 then put in the
08 Updated CD into the drive and he said works just fine ?

Why would you think it wouldn't work in our old 04 Gen II ?
I thought Toyota has the "Updated disc available for all ToyotaLexus"
vehicles with the GPS NAV feature ? Thought that the Updated disc has more info in it that wasn't available back then when Nippon Denso burnt it?

Because the hardware and features are different. It'll take some searching, but I'm pretty sure it requires a different disk...but my memory of the details is fuzzy.

[efusco]

Let me clarify...the data portion of the disk is probably the same, it's the operational portion that's different.

I'm pretty sure that when you order an update disk you have to specify the model year of the car and that the parts numbers are different. Maybe you could check with the parts dept. when you have a little spare time and see what they say.

If they are, indeed, the same disk I might be interested...the one thing I'm worried about is losing my Easter Egg override of the NAV...that I do NOT want.

Have (6) CD-DVD original Toyota-genuine taken out from 2008 Nav equipped vehicle sold and shipped to China and the GPS NAV map does not work in China [/quote]

..let me get this straight - the 6 cars were shipped to Chine and paid for by the Chinese customers but the NAV system got disabled by removing the DVD.

Now these "paid" DVD are for sale? -
I do understand that Tibet is a thorny issue but this goes a bit too far.

TheAnnoyingOne, Nice name for owning this statement!

Not quite that way, My Fleet Guy has the permission to sell the removed DVD-Rom from its importer that shipped vehicle to China..
If these items came from an obscure origin, won't even disclose the source.
If Owner says, you can do anything with them, then what is your objection for me to post them available for sale at _Discount_GPS DVD - ROM is for sale without any legality issue? Is there ?

Any Judges and Jurors out there? Need comments and opinions please.

It seems to me that the DVD won't be much good to the Prius buyer(s) in China because the map data is for the US. Also, the three language options are English, French, and Spanish, so that may not be very useful to a Chinese owner either.

As far as selling the DVD, it seems reasonable to me that the DVD is sold for a discounted price. It is used, as it was already installed in a vehicle and doesn't include tech support or a warranty. It seems like the same situation as buying a part from auto salvage - the part is perfectly usable, but it is no longer needed by the previous owner(s).

My check is already in the mail for one of these - I am tired of pushing the "I Agree" button on my 2007, however the retail price for the upgrade is kind of expensive for me since I don't actually use the navigation all that much. I am thinking after I eliminate the "I Agree", I will begin to use it more often.
