Default New navigation kit solution to your lexus dvd aftermarket

I’ve been looking for an alternative solution to my Mark Livingston Navigation system for my ’02 ES300. I bought my ES300 from a president of a local bank he literally only drove it to church on Sunday it currently has 41K miles and it has every option offered by Lexus. I want a “Technology” update because it would be a perfect car if it had a USB input/backup camera/DVD ect… Anyway, I found this site that offers a complete kit for your Lexus, has anyone bought this?

What do you all think is it worth the investment?

I wonder about the quality, does it look like good quality?

Has anyone else bought one of these?

I'd personally stick with the name brands; Pioneer, JVC, Eclipse, Alpine, Kenwood, Sony etc. I've never heard of Jewellet.

That particular units webpage also reads out strange. 01-09 ES300? They're listing in substance three different generations of ES and they got the model wrong too. I doubt it covers all three models, It's probably a generic response like google search results when you get an exact result regardless of what you searched for. You seem to get a lot for $500 too. Go ahead and google "Jewellet nav", do you see any users install pics? I didn't. I will say though that if it is legit it is the first aftermarket 2din unit I've ever come across for the 4ES that is the extended width to fit the stock navigation bezel. Still, I wouldn't buy it.

BTW, your stock nav is a good system. You can update the nav and splice in a backup cam and bluetooth module. There are also ways to modify headunits to accept 3.5mm, although I'm not sure about the nav units.

^^ Agreed!

Make sure you get a good fitting dash kit, and an aftermarket unit will fit right in for about the same price as 'Jewellet' and perform better at the end of the day.
