BTW, how the heck does the warranty works? I mean the dealership perform the service, then they bill the Toyota for reimbursement? If that's the case, then why don't they just honor the warranty if the car is still in the warranty period just becuase it "good customer services". They will get their money eitheir way. The only thing i can think of is that they get to charge the customer more money, where as they have to charge Toyota or any other manufacturer, a lesser amount.
You're right. I over estimated. MSRP is $6000. Carson Toyota is selling it for $5000. Plus dealer install, so it will probably get to $6k.

Just an FYI, dealers and car manufacturers try to MAKE money not LOSE money.

Maybe unhack the Nav unit, and make sure it looks as clean as possible. Then take it in.

If that doesnt work, I have an ML DVD unit that I can sell for $800. (I installed NAV+ML in my cousins car, and he never uses the DVD ability)

the NAV and DVD are seperated units ( someone correct me if i am wrong). So i dont think the DVD changer messed warrant to change the whole NAV/DVD unit. Anyways, if they dont cover it, then i will just have do the trick that most members had done to take out the disc.

This is true, we have members in the Chicagoland area who have screwed their ventilation servo unit for the center vents and/or the actual nav unit itself and you are looking at massive costs to repair. I would avoid this mod if you are not a qualified expert.

Vic is correct and was present while a group of us tried to fix another members nav hack mishap where a wire was lodged in the gears of the center vent servo control. The dealer quoted this price and it sounds rediculous, but it is what it is.

I read that you can try to PRESS EJECT Disk, while its ejecting, try inserting a disc at a downward angle.
