Split-Screen DVD/TV Nav System

Toyota has developed a dual-purpose navigation system that debuts on the Alphard minivan, making it possible for the driver to check a road map on the display while a passenger watches a TV program or a DVD.

The system features two different screens depending on the angle you look at. The audio data for the navigation are directed to the driver while the sound of the Tv series or Hollywood movie are directed to the ear of the passenger.

The special Alphard edition, called the AS Limited Dual AVN Special, costs $31,732. Toyota will consider adopting the navigation system for other models if customers react favorably.
