    So...I know many of you guys have the OTTONAVI head unit. I was doing some research and found out there having a sale for $599.99....
    [THAT IS THE OTTONAVI WEBSITE RIGHT?]
    $599 is ALOT cheaper than suggested retail $799.99 BUT wait? you can add an additional $50 discount?
    That means the OTTONAVI head unit is now only $549? But, someone said I have to call in to get this deal? Has anyone purchased this unit for this cheap ever?

    Did you see the thread started by Mike?
    Price drop on Ottonavi | PriusChat

    A poll to ask if a sale is legitimate? That's a new one on me. The unit has been available one Ebay from China (HK) for months. Ottonavi ships from the US and provides US support. Current sale pricing makes it hard for those sellers to compete with Ottonavi.

    Read the threads. The unit supports JBL systems (plug and play). You need to use a different harness and you need to go into a setup unit to turn on the amp.

    It won't use the factory microphone.

    Ordered mine on Friday will be here Thursday with the 4th being on Wednesday. I asked for the Prius specific rear camera rather than the universal one that is sent. I also asked for the iGO Primo maps as well all with no additional charges. $549.99 shipped :)

    for JBL, the different harness is it extra from OTTOnavi or they will supply it for free ?

    or is it just like an amplifier adapter like from Pac tato ?

    thanks

    I bought mine today, everything is plug and play.

    Bluetooth, volume from the steering wheel will work. Get the Prius specific rear camera, and get the IGI Primo maps.

    the usb, you can run it through the glove box :) also you will need to ground the pink wire to enable DVD playback when you drive.

    fairly easy install, shouldn't take u more than 30 min

    Are you talking about the 3.5mm input? If so, then yes it will still work.

    iGo Primo Maps is suppose to be the flagship iGo software from what I read on their website.

    I believe everything on the steering column works except for one part of the bluetooth which is hanging up on a call. I'm not completely sure.

    I got the Prius camera because I wanted to make sure it sits flush when the blank is pushed out where the OEM would have gone. This may or may not work but figured it might since it would a Prius specific one rather universal.

    I think the install won't be too much of a hassle since there are plenty of write ups with accurate pics

    It will come with iGo8 maps. These are the only two that they have.

    Everything will work as before INCLUDING the hanging up.
    What's different is the Voice button (if you have it).
    Instead, it becomes a MUTE; which is a nice thought after all.

    Gotcha! Thanks for the clarification, I remember reading on the board that something was either not working or swapped.

    I ordered one two days ago (for $549) and also ordered the Camry rear camera. They were kind enough to email me to tell me that they were giving away the camera as a limited time offer. They then cancelled my order for the Camry camera since I didn't need to purchase one.

    I live in Florida so it will take 9 days to get here. I believe it ships from somewhere in Canada. Great service!
