If the nav ends up being a $2k option like on most cars, I don't care if it makes my lunch for me, I'd still pass on it. Better to pick up a separate Garmin for a few hundred dollars.

Exactly. I just hope it's not a package that includes that and things I want. I already have a good garmin that I can use in all my cars when I need it (rarely, locally I get by with my phone, I only use nav systems on road trips).

based on the "build your own" system from the toyota website for the camry, the 6.1inch touchscreen is included in the first upgraded trim package

which is an addition of, incuding the other additions such as chrome grill, keyless entry, and upgraded steering wheel $1000. that doesn't sound bad to me

I want TRD guage. I don't need a nav. If I want a Nav, I would get a 7-10" tablet, which is 1/4 the price of OEM and has more functionality.

My phone has free nav and all I would need is to buy car mount. The better option for me. You could even get a tablet for cheaper.

If the nav is going to be grouped in with HID, keyless entry, etc. for around a grand then I'd be much more receptive.

True for Toyota but this is a Scion so they will not be any trim packages. It'll more than likely be offered in one of their stereo options.

I'd even go with an aftermarket h/u.

Maybe Pro EFI will make a full system for this car like they do for other ars? It's similar to the GTR system, just not as refined.
