2011/12 Sienna LE/XLE questions

[quizzer]

I'm planning to buy the 2011/12 Sienna LE or XLE in the next few days. I will appreciate if you can answer my questions:

1) I wont be taking the factory installed navigation or dvd options in the XLE.

What are the best after market GPS options for the 2011/12 XLE?

Will the aftermarket have DVD too?

Can it integrate well with the inbuilt XLE bluetooth, rear camera?

2) I know lot of people would have considered Sienna and Odyssey before buying one. Please tell my why you chose the LE/XLE instead of the Odyssey EX/EXL?

Thanks In Advance.

What are the best after market GPS options for the 2011/12 XLE? There are tons of them out there and its all about personal preference. www.mp3car.com Carputer if you looking for a conventional double din H/U then i prefer Eclipse, Alpine or Kenwood; probably in that order too.

Will the aftermarket have DVD too? If you buy one that has that option then yes

Can it integrate well with the inbuilt XLE bluetooth, rear camera?

2) I know lot of people would have considered Sienna and Odyssey before buying one. Please tell my why you chose the LE/XLE instead of the Odyssey EX/EXL? For me it was the ride and second row recliners

Thanks In Advance.

Thanks for your response.

Did you get the XLE with NAV and DVD factory installed or after market?

Wife got the factory dvd and nav

The factory aux input is not recognizing any audio source plugged into it.
My question is what is the fix and does the factory radio need to be re-programmed? Yes, we have tried couple of brand new cables.

That's strange .. My wife has used her ipod touch and nano both with our SE and has full functional control via the unit and steeringwheel audio controls.

Suggest bringing it to your dealer for a look-see

Wife was against the exterior model of Elite Oddy. She wasn't completely familiar yet with both vehicles but the look of front & rear of Oddy turned her off completely. She said it looks like an idiot from the front, which I can understand since the grille is toned down from Honda Crosstour (which I really hate its looking). I was 50/50. We decided to get Limited FWD Sienna.

Thanks In Advance.
