2006 Navigation DVD Now Available

[Charles Suitt]

Don't need an updated DVD, but...

I can recommend Metro Toyota Parts. I've purchased fron them several times [Mats, Body Side Moulding, Cargo Net] and have had prompt shipment, fair prices and prompt shipping.

What would the version number be for this updated DVD?

Any thoughts on if the new DVD might disable the CoastalTech Lockpick? Does the new disc add any new features or just roads?

I wanted to let everyone know that the most current navigation update disk is now available from Toyota. I am willing to give PC members a break on the price. Unfortunately the mark-up is small so the discount is not as great as we would all like, but I am doing what I can to help. I will make them available for $225.00 plus shipping instead of $250.00 plus shipping. Disks will take approximately 3-4 weeks from the order date to get to your door. Toyota's policy, "Returns are not permitted for any reason, please forecast your inventory carefully." Since Toyota does not permit returns from me for any reason I will have to have the same policy with all of you. I will also not be stocking any disks, they will be ordered on an as needed basis. Please keep this in mind. Please contact me if you are interested in placing an order. Thanks.

Are the voice commands available on the '06, but not on the '05 included to work on an '05? I'm assuming you will have available the version of the upgrade that works on an '05.

I'll probably order this upgrade, as soon as I get a little money set aside. My credit card is almost maxed out now.

This is totally my opinion, but I think this is a worthless upgrade. Surely not enough has changed in your area or in areas that you regularly drive to warrant an upgrade to the 06 data. There are no changes that I'm aware of other than just updated map information.

If you haven't traveled there in over a year, what's the chance you're going to go there before, say, the 08 disc comes out?

Save your money, only upgrade every 3 years at the most.

Danny... I have a 2004, in your opinion would you upgrade? If I do, it looks as though I not only have to buy the 06 DVD, but some upgrade kit as well???

No, no, no.

There are two separate versions of 6.1. One for the 04 and 05 model years (low resolution) and the other for the 06 (high res.). You must get the version that is compatible with your car, or the new disk will not work in your navigation system.

Don't upgrade the DVD at all. Buy a new Prius every 3 years!

P.s. My street and route to work are not on the 06 Disc. (They must be doing a lot of building in Glasgow!)
