Question

Just hit the Lexus website, and went through building my gs430. Something seems to be missing from their list of options now. The nav system was not an available choice as it has been in the past. Any ideas as to why?

Well, it could be that they are no longer offer the Nav-only option because it wasn't popular or it could be because Lexus makes more money selling it in combination with the Mark Lev system (in other words, they "force" the "optional" ML system on ya)...

I don't remember ever seeing a Nav-only system in any 2001 GS...

Unhappy

NAV wasn't there at all. not bundled with the premium package or ml package, and didn't show up in the summary either

It's there with the Mark Levinson package on page
http://config.lexus.com/Lexus/Dispat...3D40859D0A0000

Navigation System/Mark Levinson Audio Package with Additional Options

Lexus Navigation System with Compass, D And EMV Screen, One-Touch Open/Close Moonroof with Sunshade, Mark Levinson Audio with 6-Disc In-Dash CD Auto Changer, Heated Front Seats
- Rear Spoiler
- 17" Summer Tires with Aluminum Wheels
- Wood & Leather Steering Wheel


Probably did it to simplify the web site. It's still available separately or in the same packages as it was before.
