GPS navigation system/ stereo advice

[benjovy Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close benjovy]

Got a 2006 Prado Grande that the GPS/stereo has gone pear shaped. It reloaded the maps a few times (wigged out then started reloading maps whilst I was driving) and now its completely black and will not turn on...no maps, no stereo and no reversing camera. It makes a clicking noise as its trying to pickup a disk internally even after about 30 seconds after the keys have been removed. Any ideas or is it FUBAR and time to get a new unit?

Thanks in advance,

Ben

Time for a new one mate... even if it springs back into life. It's on borrowed time from here on out.

Thanks for that RanJ...Two questions
1. How do I get my disks out of it (I have $3m Whereis GPS v18disk I just purchased) and my eclectic compilation of Dolly Parton, Beethoven, AC-DC and Rob Smith classics just to name a few!?!?!?!??!
2. Any recommendations for another unit?

I just replaced mine with a dig options platinum unit with reverse camera and so far very impressed.

Screwdrivers and careful use of hammer?

genuine Toyota sat nav
they list at over $1399 new


for your car you need PZQ60-00141 & PZQ60-00161 PATCH LEADS and it will bolt straight in with the steering wheel controls
and if yours is 2008 and later it will have the camera leads in through the car to the rear door already for you to connect a camera
then if you want the blutooth phone to be better the external mic from Fujitsu 10
part number 162001048121 $79.52+gst+postage Ph # 0396466004
