I believe the NAV unit has an external microphone wired in and it appears that this was not installed.
However, there is a sticker on the inside of the NAV owner's manual (for Canada) that states
"In addition, the telephone switch and microphone will not be available on all Toyota models. The hands-free system and microphone will be available as optional purchased accessories through your Toyota Dealership."
So, on the Hybrid, is the microphone supposed to be installed with it or is the dealer going to demand extra money for this?
Thanks,

I'm sorry to hear you have problems with that - I understand it is disappointing. The good news is, it is supposed to be installed with it (how's that for a positive spin?). In fact, it uses the same microphone that the non-nav unit uses, which is located in the housing that has the map lights and homelink switches.
I also received my TCH last week and had my nav unit on back-order and it was installed just yesterday. Everything works fine, including bluetooth and voice commands. I notice on the copy of the invoice they gave me, there are three items listed:
FP-Number Description
PU069-32777-G5 NAV SYS GEN 5
C0069-33010-W2 AUX & STEERING
C0069-33010-W3 MIC CONNECTOR
The third item seems to indicate that there is a special mic connector that has to be used to hook up the existing mic to the nav unit. Your dealer probably either forgot to install it, or installed it, and forgot to connect it.
That disclaimer in the manual is intended for cars other than the Camry Hybrid, which most definitely does have all of the needed hardware.
Go back to your dealer - I'm sure they will have no problem getting it fixed up for you quickly.
