Navigation question

[trucker44]

Old thread but did anyone figure this out? I love this truck but hate the nav display. I just want Stereo and phone during calls. Is feasible to buy a more current toyota stereo headunit? Then I'd get better iPhone integration too, no? USB port versus the headphone jack. Please advise.

I'm still dealing with it. I was at the dealership last week and even asked if it was something they could change, he told me that it was not an option. I HATE THE NAV.

I have a 2011 and my nav is always off until I turn it on.
Go to set up, go to general, choose auto screen change and make sure "off" is selected.
And yes Toyota navigation does suck.

I wish it was that simple. I believe sometime after 08 they made it possible to change it. No such luck on mine.

How do I turn the navigation off on my 2008 LC? I want the audio on the display not the navigation. Thanks

I have the 2008 as well. Since I can't upgrade the maps on the GPS...and generally rely on my phone or a dedicated GPS anyway...my solution to this is to simply turn the display to OFF.

This means that when I'm changing music settings, air conditioning, or other features...the screen pops on to show those settings...but then when I'm done fiddling...it turns off. I find that I VERY much prefer this...if for no other reason...it's kind of annoying having a constant map on that is woefully low-res.

an aside...
I don't care about audio display most of the time...because I do all my audio via a bluetooth device plugged into the lighter...which works incredibly well! It even lets the truck utilize the phone bluetooth connection via the system...and only uses the phone bluetooth connection for music, etc.

I'm actually thinking of mounting an older iPad in the truck to use for audio...

@ZOMBIECRU1S3R is right. Sure enough, I also found the menu! Woohoo. Thanks man!

@ntsaint , did you see this? ^

It actually worked for me. No more default map screen.

For some reason I'm just now seeing this...and I'm setting down my coffee to go into the garage to make the change. Awesome.

Worked like a champ.

Now if you guys could just figure out my steering wheel resonance and rear axle jump issues I would be set

Sooo, after seeing all the pics from the last trip, I'd love to find a way to do this. It would be a huge long shot, but I've always wanted to drive cross country. Do you guys bring your kids with you, or is it an adult only trip? Camping? Who has a really long drive to get there...it's probably a two day drive for me.

Yup, I changed mine about 6 months ago. Haha. I assumed you had seen the post too. My bad.

Odd. I just tried this in my 2013, and auto change kept turning itself back on.

Doh! I'm a dope. I didn't press the "save" button at the bottom of the screen.
