This is in GREAT condition with only 39k miles, looks brand new....but..BUTI want to know the major issues. I know this is 1st year it was made which makes a tad wary. I know about the brake issues as I have a friends with Armadas, Tundras, and even the M35 like I already have.

Any other major deals with this vehicle?

What is maximum Zenrin Nav disk will it accept?

I've done the DVD/Nav hack on my M35, can this be done on it too?

I tried looking for previous discussions. So I don't mine if someone post links.

Thanks.

- Brake issues and possibly some rattles

- 6.6 is the latest version for your vehicle

- You sure can get the DVD video to play on your front Nav screen. I am not sure if it is done the same way your M35 was done. You're in luck, I recently traded my '04 QX56 in on an '08 Armada. On your '04 you will need to puchase a switch unit from TV and Nav 2 Go. You then pop in a toggle switch to flip your nav screen from Nav to DVD.

Yeah sounds like exactly what I did on my M. Go SPDT switch, and some CAT5, intercept the vehicle in motion sensor and emergency brake sensor. And override with the switch. Thanks for the other info.
