VX with factory Sat Nav? Anyone seen one?

Hi All (first post)

I'm looking at placing an order for a 2010 VX TD with factory Sat Nav, the SalesRep is going to get back to me on what it actually looks like and features as they have not had one come through yet with this option. Does anyone have one/seen one? Is it the same touch screen that the Kakadu's have?

Thank you & Regards

TOYOTA Australia has added a DVD-based, touch-screen satellite-navigation pack as a $2500 option on high-series five-door VX variants of its top-selling LandCruiser Prado SUV.

The seven-inch navigation screen doubles as a monitor for the reversing camera and the option pack also includes a five-speaker upgrade to the Prado’s sound system, taking the total number of speakers to 14, as fitted to the range-topping Kakadu model.

Hey maxjj, thanks for the link...didnt realise it had the speaker upgrade too, which has made my morning .

They started in production in May so I think the first fitted VXs will arrive soon...three weeks for mine.

Kind Regards

I got mine last thursday with the satnav option.

Very very impressed. Well worth the money (and the wait!)

It seems to have some of features that the kakadu has with park assist, and the intergration with the phone and ipod is fantastic.

I was not expecting any of this and was most happy when I climbed in to drive it home.

As for the speaker upgrade - didn't even know it had it till I turned on the radio.

While the sat nav does not have traffic updates or camera locations, etc. it makes up for it with the size of the screen the clearly spoken directions and the split screen functionalty when your coming up to a turn etc.

I am on the northern beaches of Sydney and would be happy to show it off if anyone is considering it. (just flick me a PM)

(one thing I do not think it has is a video in/out - which is a bit of a shame. I suspect I would just need to get a harness from toyota - I think it is installed under the drives seat with the satnav unit under the other one.)
