This question gets asked a lot, and I've never seen or read of a way to
bypass the screen.

That's the lawyer screen.....

Just like the lawyer screen on my Magellan Meridian GPS.

Lawyers rule our lives.

Thanks Roy,

This is actually the answer I was expecting, however, being a programmer I'm
certain that the folks who developed the system left some sort of backdoor
to do things like disable the annoyance screen. If for any other reason,
just to make development and testing faster. I'd bet there's a hidden
configuration screen that's activated by a sequence of button pushes, or by
holding a button or two down while turning on the system.

That being said, if the questions is often asked and no one has found a
solution it's very possible that the interface isn't exposed.

On the other hand I just did a quick google search and found this:

Our Sequoia is a 2003; nav and backup camera were not available at that
time. Since the back end is about a mile away from the driver and the
driver sits so high, it is difficult to judge how much room is behind when
backing. A backup sensor and/or camera would be nice. My wife is
map-challenged so she would like the nav feature. I have the nav and backup
sensor in my LS, but I don't know that I would be willing to lay out $1700
for an upgrade to the Sequoia.

I'd be interested inthe Bluetooth and IPod connectivity and, yes, compared
to my 93 Trooper, looking out the back window gives me a huge feeling of
tunnel vision so a backup camera would be nice. But its certainly not worth
$1700.
