NAV System, is this right?
Hi,
I am thinking of purchasing this Toyota Nav from eBay for my Japanese made 2007 Toyota Camry HV with JBL.
<link removed>
The seller claims that he has the instructions to make the consumption screen/energy screen work and says I do not need anything else to make it work. Is this correct? From what I read in the forums, it says you need some CAN module or something like that. Is this seller correct or misleading?
Thanks everyone,
Paul

Paul, the seller also says this
JBL SOUND SYSTEM AND VOICE COMMAND MICROPHONE IS REQUIRED
IF YOUR CAR IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH JBL SOUND AND MICROPHONE SYSTEM THEN YOU WILL NEED TO ACQUIRE ONE FOR A SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION

Re: NAV System, is this right?
Thanks jbollt,
Yes, my 2007 Camry has the JBL system and bluetooth system built in. Is this existing system/amp/mic setup compatible with the Nav?
My main concern is the energy consumption screen...Will it work with my system like the seller said?
Additionally, will my AUX port that came with the car still work?
Thanks again everyone, Paul

Re: NAV System, is this right?
There was a thread awhile back where some Canadian TCH owners tried to get the NAV installed after purchase, and If I remember correctly (?) they ran into problems getting the energy screens to work. Maybe if you are able to find those threads with a search of this forum, the answer you seek might be there, or at least some poster to contact for info.
I know I am one of those suckers who Toyota ripped off.

1. If the seller says, "that's all you need. . ." I'd be skeptical. Especially if, ". . .you need some CAN module or something like that." Which should tell you you may be walking into unknown territory relative to your experience and ability.
2. Maybe this should be 1. . .But I'd check with Toyota.
3. My understanding is that a scan gauge (what ever that is) gives the same info., and better.
4. LOTSA LUCK!

Re: NAV System, is this right?
If you're going to give it a try, kudos to you for the willingness! If you're after Nav, just go with a good wide screen after-market unit. I got a barely-used, non-nav TCH as a replacement for my 04 Nav-Prius, and I thought I'd miss nav. Wrong. I got an after-market Magellan unit, which is vastly superior to the stock Toyota in-dash unit, in all respects, except for the awkwardness of the suction cup mount and cord. Beyond that, the Magellan works better than the Toyota unit in virtually all measurable parameters. I missed the Prius consumption and energy screens for about two days until I realized that all the data they present in available in a non-nav TCH, just in a less flashy (bur more visible) presentation.
Think it through and be very careful before you perform (or pay someone to perform) neurosurgery on your TCH,

Re: NAV System, is this right?
Sorry for being late to the game but I have purchased a nav system for my hybrid from these guys and was very happy with it. The instructions provided were very accurate and i was able to get the system up and going with energy screens without any issues. BTW CAN does not mean Canadian it is some sort of language that the Hybrid system uses to communicate.

Re: NAV System, is this right?
Try another dealer like www.oemvalue.com or something similar. Make sure the part number is correct. E7011
I see another user posted a message to their forums asking if they could get the E7011, but never got a response.
I know of another user that bought a unit from them and was happy with the service. It was an E7012 before we knew the difference in nav models. Worked fine in his hybrid, without the energy screens of course. Just be sure if you do buy from OEM you are getting the right unit.
Cheers!
Dang
P.S.
Glad to hear it's all working!
