Something strange

Hi there we just bought a RAV4 GX series. Now this series is not meant to have the navigation system they say. Thing is yesterday when we were driving the phone beeped as it was in sync with the media panel, when we looked it said that the media center thing was requesting maps from the phone and to confirm which we did.

My question is has the thing gone mad as say it does not have navigation or is this just a normal thing that happens? Oh it is December 2014 model.

Thanks

Michael,

Are you sure it wasn't asking for your "Phone Book" from the phone?

Is your vehicle a petrol or diesel?

No it definatly said maps even my wife was looking at it wondering. It is a petrol engine. It didn't ask for the phonebook it already had that.

I'm not farmiliar with the unit that has the GPS in it (standard with the Cruiser) but you can get it installed in the normal RAV4 by ripping out the unit already installed and putting the new one in and emptying your wallet at the same time! My guess is it's the same unit and they just add a GPS antenna and change the SD card in the unit and you've got a fully blown GPS navigator. Just a guess.

The reason I questioned you on the petrol or diesel... There is a hell of a stink going on with th RAV4 diesel. It uses excessive oil and Toyota can't fix it. Look for "Oil consumption" in this RAV4 forum.

Cheers
