Has anyone had their DVD disk replaced under the TSB EL012-06 ? My question is does the override function still work? Also what version do youhave and which version did u get ?

 

I went to the toyota dealer before TG and still have not received the updated DVD for my loaded 2006 Sienna. I was told it is a universal DVD and it is back ordered. It's price is over $1000 and noone knows if it will be the latest DVD with all updated maps or just to have the fix ... still waiting ... ouch very expensive one, no wonder it takes forever to get one...

 

I'm not sure if the over ride hack for new 6.1 NAV has been found yet but I'm sure sooner or later we will hear about it. The REAL question for now is .....

Has any body able to exchange their 5.1 with 6.1 from a toyota dealer with reference to this TSB. If so what did they tell to the dealer to get this and did the dealer know about this TSB and exchanged without any problem/hesitance.

 

No navigation update costs $1000. The dealer is blowing smoke one of your bodily orifices. Nav updates are in the $200/$300 max price range.
Just think about it for a second. The entire NAV option which includes the Audio upgrade, Screen, DVD transport, AND the Nav DVD itself carries a MSRP if $1200. So to say the DVD update is $1000 is WRONG. He must be talking about the entire NAV system price or he is smoking something I want.

 

I brought my TCH in for it's first oil change a week ago. They ordered the DVD update and today (7 days later) I received the postcard that the DVD arrived.

 

greg:

I'm sure you know this, but make a copy of the original DVD before they replace it - they will probably need and take the original disk...
NEVER MIND - I have been away lately and wrote before catching up - I know you have already done this but still...

Let us know what the skinny is...

thanks

I called and made the appt. for this afternoon. They said I can change the DVD and keep the old one. I didn't remind them the TSB said to shred the old DVD. Everyone lies, especially auto service representatives. Will know more after 4:30 PM CST. In any case I have the backup copy squirled away "just in case".

I agree with you it should not cost that much, but the fact remains the DVD replacement under TSB EL012-06 does cost over $1000 and to be exact it costs $1026.12, believe it or not, as I verified the price with three different toyota dealerships to make sure I would receive the correct replacement...

 

There should be no charge for this replacement disk! The TSB you are referring to states:-
"This repair is covered under the Toyota Comprehensive Warranty. This warranty is in effect for 36 months or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from the vehicles in-service date."
There is a caveat attached to this warranty however, it states:-
"Warranty application is limited to correction of a problem based upon a customer's specific complaint."

 

There is NO CHARGE to the end customer. There is internal accounting that applies a value installing the TSB by the dealership and that is the $900+ figure. I call it "Funny Money".
