toyota fj cruiser comes with garmin quest 2 storage

toyota-fj-cruiser-vs-40.jpg
Have you met the Toyota FJ cruiser yet? It is the new SUV like vehicle or as they call it “the most distinctive and capable 4×4 in the Toyota lineup”. With the FJ Cruiser Toyota is bringing back the legendary FJ40 started in the 60’s and the 70’s which Toyota continued making until 1983. It is hard to believe but the old FJ40’s are still in use in some parts of the world under rough conditions. Anyhow, for under $25,000 you get a 4.0-liter V6 engine, generating 245 horsepower and 282 lb-ft. of torque. But let’s come to the stuff we care about: The GPS navigation system!! Well there isn’t one. Nor it is an option. With the new FJ Cruiser you get a special compartment on your dashboard specially designed for a Garmin Quest 2 GPS navigation device. This storage will be on the driver side above the instrument panel leaving some space for the optional multi-information display with inclinometer, compass and temperature gauge. From the looks of it we can see that this is only designed as a storage, since the fold-out GPS antenna on the Quest 2 won’t have any room, nor the storage area is wired for recharching your navigator.

    Although Toyota says the special compartment on the dashboard is specially designed for a Garmin Quest 2, can I set a different GPS device in there, as long as its dimensions allow it? As mentioned, the compartment is not wired for the Quest 2, and appears to merely provide available space… Thanks.

    Did you ever get your answer? I have been interested in the GPS, but haven’t had much luck getting a lot of info. I thought the compartment was wired, but maybe not. I called Garmin and they said only the one device is made for the unit. I also asked if it was voice activated, he said no. It looks as if there is a speaker in the picture so I am wondering what it is for if there are no voice prompts or voiced directions. Thanks!
