Re: NAV for Camry ?
If you decide to go this route you can get one here:

I had a dealer install mine. Most US Toyota Dealers won't install a Customer Supplied part. I had to call around until I found a Toyota Dealer that would agree to do it.
I also had to supply them with the installation instructions as they had no clue otherwise. Like someone else said, you will not get the Energy Monitoring Screens.
Although an after market system make more sense, I really like Toyota's Hands free Bluetooth implementation which is why I went with the OEM.

Correct. Bluetooth and Steerings controls work perfectly (As long as they Follow the Installtion Insructions). It's not completly plug and play. The installer needs to move wires from one connector to another.
You may want to make sure you can find a Local dealer that will agree to install it before you order one. It took me awhile to find one.

The install is a lot of work since the entire dash needs to come apart but should be easy for Experinced Car Audio Installer that is familiar with the 2007 Toyota's. That's why I went with a Dealer install

With my TomTom ONE, I can:
- play games
- watch movies
- track where I've been and load it to Google Earth (incl. speed and altitude)
- plan my own route on Google Earth then load it into the TT itinerary

With TomTom, you can install 3rd party software (most are for free).

Re: NAV for Camry ?
but I have no plans to modify my car to play movies via my MFD screen).Also, you can't navigate and watch movies at the same time (the program needs all the processor power).
