Nav Disc for 2005 Toyota?
My wife's car is a 2005 Toyota Camry, with the factory nav setup. Interestingly, my C6 discs will work in her nav but with the C6 disc installed her nav shows the routing but won't give voice directions.
Anyway, her car has the original nav disc and I'd like to get a new one for her. Two questions:
1. When does Toyota come out with the new discs? I'd hate to buy her a new disc and then have them release a newer version the next week.
2. Where's a good place to order the disc at a good price?
Thanks!

When it comes to parts, they are full retail on everything. I'm sure they can get the disc but we could probably save significantly if we can find a discount dealer who sells the disc.

Well, I got off my butt to do something. Looked up three discount Toyota parts places on the internet and called them:
First place has changed their phone but not their website, the recording tells you to call directory assistance.
Second place sells the disc for $200 but the part number and applicable years don't match.
Third place wants $350, yes that's $350, for the disc.
My local dealer swears that for $200 I will get the proper disc tomorrow, updated this Sept/Oct. If it's not right, then I don't have to buy it.
SOLD!
EDITED TO ADD: Got the disc at my Toyota dealer for $200, just as advertised. Much simpler and no more expensive than the BS we get from the GM Nav Disc Center (new Corvettes have been getting the newest disc since August, but replacement discs are still the older version but full price).
