Hi James, I am not 100% sure but I think Robin has it right, I recall when we changed our head unit the guy at Monster saying that the DVD is required. I am sure others will correct me if this isn't the case.

I have an old map disk if you're interested. Its fairly out of date though.

Forgive my ignorance on this particular subject, but you mean to say that you need a dvd inserted in the head unit for it to actually function ??

Many people are junking the crappy Toyota head units and going aftermarket. Seems like these factory head units create more grief than they're worth.

If you are considering upgrading, even if it's a Chinese made one (I'd consider this an upgrade over the rubbish the factory dish out, yes),I'd look on ebay for something like this.

At least it's up to date with ALL the modern features needed without any dramas.
