Just purchased a 2016 Avalon Touring. I am very happy with the car except for the nav screen. It seems that only split screen display is possible; either 2 or 3 panels. Is it possible to have full screen display for the nav system. The 800 number for Toyota said no.
View 2 RepliesExperienced the problem of a flashing defrost button and the entire HVAC system "frozen"? All the other buttons become useless while the defrost button is flashing on and off. If I then hold either the a/c button or the auto button, the system starts up at 75 degrees with the air running. I can then adjust to where I want it to be.
View 13 RepliesI'm a rideshare driver who drives about 1000 miles/week. I currently have a Gen 2 which I love, but I'm looking to upgrade to a Gen 4 pretty soon.
-Does the Gen 4 have the same kind of under-trunk storage area in the hatch/cargo area? This is important for me on the Gen 2 because it allows me to carry equipment while having an empty hatch space for passengers luggage. Does it depend on if you have a spare tire or not?
-Real-world MPG in extended city driving with A/C on?
-Where are the 12v outlets? And extend one into the hatch area?
-Is there a notable difference in comfort for touring vs non touring models?
-Does the driver's seat with lumbar support make a significant difference in comfort?
Is it possible to turn off the display screen for the Nav system? I mean turn it completely off, so the screen is dark.

View 3 RepliesI have a 2005 Prius with around 115,000 miles.
I have the following warning lights on:
1) Check Engine
2) Yellow Indicator, looks like exclamation point inside a circle inside parenthesis.
3) Red Multi-information display (exclamation point inside a triangle)
4) Hybrid System Warning Light on display screen, looks like exclamation point through a car
The engine cranks up just fine and drives forward and backward in the driveway fine. Battery level indicator is blue (see image). I checked for turbulence in the inverter reservoir with the engine off and fluid was flowing.
I checked the 12V battery (using the car's measurements by holding Display and turning lights on and off 3 times) and its value was 12.1 volts without engine and A/C on and 11.8 volts with them on.
The fan in the back right passenger seat is always on now though (I don't remember ever hearing this fan noise before), regardless of engine on or not, even though it's only about 80 degrees outside and it's been sitting idle all day and all last night. It comes on pretty much immediately when the power button is pushed.
I just purchased a 2014 Avalon XLE Touring. One thing that seems to be a slight problem is the A/C setting. To get the car to cool down I have to turn the setting down to about 66 to make it comfortable and I know it is not 66 degrees in the car. Is there some way to calibrate the temp reading?
View 14 RepliesI have a 2014 Avalon Hybrid XLE Touring. Only rarely can I get the Easy Exit setting to work on the driver's seat. I set it and save it on the display screen when the car is running and is in PARK but it will not work.
View 6 RepliesRecently, i just bought an multi-information display panel (with touch screen support) to integrate into my RX330 which is a non touch screen NAV display panel.
The 2nd hand multi-information display panel is from a 2004 RX330 and what are the socket behind the display panel meant for.
what is the 4 socket connectors as indicated in the red circle in the image should be connected to?
I find the home screen to be a great idea and I generally love it. Today, while using the navigation system, the system kept returning me to the home screen after a few minutes of not interacting with it. I'm fine with it doing this on the audio or weather apps, but when I'm actively navigating I'd rather it would stay on the nav screen until I hit the home button. I skimmed the settings and the manual but did not see this addressed anywhere. Is there a setting I am missing someplace?

View 4 RepliesNot all of the time, but sometimes, I hear a couple of clicks when I brake. It seems to happen for a while after first starting the car. It is only heard when pressing the brake. It may be intentional but I really have no clue.
View 1 RepliesOn my 2007 GS350 I have an annoying (or) normal problem where the Nav screen has to warm up a little, like an old tube radio, to full brightness when I start up the car on a colder morning. It takes about 15 to 20 seconds. My Lexus dealer first said it was normal but eventually gave up and replaced it. It still seems to be about the same.
View 8 RepliesMy navigation system on '05 Avalon XLS is frozen in the home screen. I'm curious how I'm going to be able to change the clock and stuff like that if I can't get it to work again.
View 1 RepliesVibration in steering started in January soon after full brake job, new rotors, etc. on my 05AvyXLS. Pronounced between 60 and 70 mph where steering wheel shakes in my hands. Had tires balanced and rotated 3 or 4 times, alignment, checked tires/treadwear, in 3 diff stores (incl dealer)...same problem. Just bought new set of tires today, thought prob would go away since all pros thought was a tire prob...negative. Same prob, only even more pronounced!
I'm thinking I have a tie rod, wheel bearing, strut/shock, or some kinda suspension prob? I've spent considerable dough with exactly the same prob. And could there have been something related to the brake/rotor job? My pro says no, unless there is vibration when I brake, which there is not! Vibration occurs b/t 60 and 70, whether I'm in the gas or not, and does not happen when braking! What can this be??
Had to get a replacement battery for my 04 GX470. The garage replaced mine with the same model. Turns out the model changed, poles were reversed and I hooked it up backwards. Realized I did something stupid so I took it back and got another replacement. It cranks over now but I have no display screen, radio, climate control, power windows, power seats, and I'm guessing more. I am guessing a few in my engine compartment as well as the drivers side kick. Thing is, not sure how to tell if the engine compartment fuses are blown or not.
View 7 RepliesMy prick of a husband punched the lcd screen in our 08 prius and the display cracked. We can't install it ourselves, so buying the parts secondhand and installing them ourselves is not an option.
View 7 RepliesI am due to make a 400 mile round trip business trip today. Go out and start the car, and the screen display is black. The MFD. None of the buttons on it work, either - I have the beep ON, no beep. I turned it off, waited about 1 minute and tried again, still nothing. Went for a short drive (took the dogs to the park where they can run), it was off for about 35 minutes. Still nothing for the short drive back home. I mean short, this is less than 2 miles one way.
I can still access the a/c and the radio from the steering wheel. I can see my speed, fuel etc, that is fine. It is just the display monitor. This came out of the blue, I have not noticed any issues at all.
I just bought a 2006 passat manual version and have had it for 4 months or so. Im curious as to how to get the speed display in the middle MFD screen. Everything else (consumption, speed warning, range, route, travel time etc) works, however it when i switch to the speed option, it never shows me my current speed.
it only shows a random number (ex: 26km/h and that just gradually increases as a drive regardless if i slow down or speed up.) Ive tried holding the select button, however it just gets rid of that number and turns into dashes then goes back to doing the same thing 30 seconds after driving. How to get this to work?
I thought I saw, somewhere, the ability for the navigation screen to display the angle of tilt (both horizontal & vertical) of the car in real-time. I'm only able to get the display of altitude and front wheel angle.
View 3 RepliesAcquired my Phaeton about three weeks ago and could not be happier. Need to understand one of the front display screen options? I'm a little confused as to why "0" is displayed as "speed" when the car was actually going about 50 mph when the photo was snapped.
