2006 Estima Sound/Navi System

January 14, 2020

I have recently purchased an imported 2006 Estima 3.5 V6 AWD. Having examined the Panoramic Sound/Navi system (obviously still the Japanese set-up), can anyone tell me, (and please forgive my ignorance!) where the entry is for DVDs and CDs? For the life of me I cannot find it.

Hi, Alan, there could be a unit under the front passenger seat for cd's. On mine the front face of the head unit slides down.

Hi Tony, Many thanks for the response. I've looked under the passenger seat and although there are couple of small black boxes, they don't appear to be CD/DVD players. I'll keep looking!

If you are trying to get to grips with the Japanese head unit, I found this site useful (Although its for the Alphard most of the info applies to Estima head units too)

There is a bunch of posts that go through different tasks e.g. bluetooth connection for phone calls (does not do audio streaming)
