ST246 Caldina owners - Satnav options?

[JDM101]

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if there are any ST246 Caldina owners here who can confirm if the standard Satnav unit can be flashed or reprogrammed to work in Australia?

Im in new zealand and the only answer i could find is one of two choices go to your toyota dealer and pay a stupid amount for the dvd program to load up new maps or replace head unit which if i remeber right didt cost to much more then the program disk

Replacing headunit is cheaper than the Toyota OEM option lol.

There's the option of a touch screen interface, like the one in the video below (Retains factory screen, adds ability to run non-Japanese GPS software & some also act as an FM booster/ media player.). There's a company in Melbourne (Maybe other parts of Australia too.) that can convert factory-spec screens with JDM-navigation or Euro screens without factory navigation GPS to run IGO on the market (Same software as used in current Toyota cars.).

Also starting to see Android-based ones too.

You can also get Mirrorlink modules that connect to existing screen. Only problem would be that all of the modules I've seen so far would only display your phone screen and does not allow control through the car's existing touch screen.
