What ??

Choc
I have a 200 series and tow a Van, I am less than clear on what you are concerned with but assume you are referring to the Vehicles Visual display screen that shows GPS maps and gives directional instructions etc and also shows what is behind the vehicle when reversing?

I have an after market second display screen mounted on dash which has two cameras that deliver images from one of the two cameras - one on rear of vehicle and the other on rear of the Van. I can switch between images whilst driving enabling me to see the towing hitch coupling area or what is behind the van. This system is entirely independent of the Toyota GPS system.

The benefit of that system is that when positioning the vehicle to back up to the van coupling I have a constant image of what is behind me even when in forward gear which is neccesary to align with coupling [back and forth often needed - well unless you are a guru]. With the Toyo system you lose the rear image when in forward gear.

A side benefit of my after market camera is that it has an audio function so you can hear noise such as vehicle passing or the wife barking instructions when parking up in tighter situations.


Trust this assists you.
