g'day, we have a toyota prado grande which came with satnav. just wondering whether theres any aftermarket software available with more roads in the country/outback that we can utilise. we live out in the country and it appears that we are driving through space to get home...

bascailly we'd like some software (DVD rom) that will have a LOT more country roads and dirt tracks etc. we've looked high and low and cant find anything anywhere.

btw, what does the 'whereis' software version 10 include. we only have version 2.

thanks everyone!

edit: if this is in the wrong forum please PM me then move it.

G'day,

i've got version 3 in my car, not too sure how many extra roads and streets there are but if you want i can make you a copy.......

btw, is your sat nav the updated version with the new firm ware (new interface, changable background colour ie, blue violet green ect not the usual beige)??

Welcome Prado Man,

Sorry there aren't many Prado drivers here but Arcxis is pretty nifty when it comes to Sat Nav stuff cos he's got a few in his family.

Thanks for joining ATOC.

Hi everyone,

I have the same issue as Prado man....please advise on your testing of the software.

We have been driving in the ether, even towns being on the maps would be nice

Just to add another question, has anyone seen a way of converting the screen to other uses. BMW has a TV via the same sized screen.

Thanks

SKATM

Hi there,

Prob the best thing for you to do is to go out and buy Version 10, this is latest update and will show most country towns nowdays.

Costs about $300 from your local Toyota dealer.

The Versions are just the updates ie Vers 10 has more stuff that Vers 3

G'DAY GUY's,

I think I'm in the same boat as PRADOMAN & SKATM? I would like to get the most out of my new TOY! and have all the latest info displayed.

Will have to keep a close eye on this thread to see how you guy's go.

Would be very interested in your progress?

Cheers

Hi All,

I have owned my build 05 Grande since March. I got version 10 Whereis Disc from Toyota when I bought the car. I believe version 11 is out, and you can buy it from the www.whereis.com.au site (sensis).

Regarding the tv screen, there is a single video input available for sending video signal to the unit. However it is input designed for rear vision camera. (as in lexus). So when a video signal appears on the screen it will display a line of words at the bottom saying something like 'Objects appear further than they are' or similar to do with the camera vision.

I would like a better disc showing Speed camera and Red light camera.....(its just nice to know).

Where can i source copy of the speed camera and red light camera data? Have sent email to Whereis about how to update. Wondering if maybe possible to just save the data into directory on DVD and software will pickup. Haven't really studied software structure, but may do over the weekend.

Hi,

I have contacted Denso directly and have the wiring diagrams to allow connection of the screen for other purposes and in my case using it to show the DVD movie thats playing in the overhead screen in the back. I can email if anyone is interested....

On the red light query there is a company in Melbourne working on a "API", not sure if that is the correct term. It will overlay onto the where is software and provide red light(fixed hazards). A more sophisicated version will be out to give live updates of speed camera in a broad cast mode.

cheers for the repyls guys... recently we've purchased ourselves a satnav unit which attaches to teh windscreen, its MUCH MUCH better than the toyota one. easier to use, navigation is better, more accurate and MUCH more detail. well worth the extra money.

2ndPrado, I dont think either of these guys are around anymore as I have been trying for ages to PM them and the last time they logged in was in December.

I'm bordering on desperation here!

No too sure if you guys are still around or still have the diagrams but i would love a copy of the wiring connections for my sat nav. I have an 03 Sahara, so im guessing the units should be similiar.

Hi

Has anyone got a working copy of v14 that would work in a 2006 Presara? The copies I have downloaded do not seem to work in my car. Says DVD maps cannot be read. Not sure if the image from the torrent I have downloaded is 100%. Does it have something to do with the version?

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
