Nav upgrade

So my '19 86 TRD SE did not come with navigation. There is an upgrade that can be installed. Searched a little here but couldn't find an answer. Will purchasing the upgrade give me everything I need? Is it just the head unit? Thanks

My $0.02




IMO, Garmin has the best maps and devices. I also feel that getting a standalone GPS is better. I bought my 2006 truck new, the GPS was a $2500 option back then, which I passed on. It would be soooo outdated by now it's not even funny.


So, If integration is important to you, get the headunit/navi system.


If you are going to keep your car for a few years, IMO, its better to get a Garmin.


They have GPS with built in dash cameras and lifetime map packs for $299.


Additionally, you can take it out and use it in another vehicle, if you need to.

I had a Kenwood DNX573S installed in my 2013 FR-S. It has GPS by Garmin. It also does all kinds of music stuff - but, mine just stays on the country western channel -

If you are going somewhere and would like to know real time traffic, cops, stopped vehicles, use Waze, need info use google.
I have nav and never use it any more.

I'm in a similar situation with the 17 86 special edition.

The upgrade package for the Toyotas is $850 +$40 for a bracket. This is what they told me at the Toyota dealership.

I decided to instead just purchase a drop in unit, it can't be that expensive and maybe I can upgrade the speakers while I'm at it.
