Well that depends, do you have the OEM Nav screen, or do you have an aftermarket head unit with a screen?

Replace your CD changer (in the glove box) with a Lexus DVD changer, and you'll be able to play DVD on the Nav. screen.

You can also hook up an rgb converter to the nav ecu and just watch movies through your xbox.

Check out this old thread;

From what I know you can hook up a converter and it SHOULD play DVD's (if the Lexus units are DVD based nav). If not then just yank the changer out, install a PS2 Slim or PS3 and your set. GL!

i installed an adapter in a g35 and an acura tl that taps into the stock navi screen but you need to add some sort of dvd player and an fm modulator(connects to radio) then tune to a certain station to get sound and flip a switch to disrupt the navi and you're all set, just fyi you can buy a cheap dvd player made for a car and hide it in the trunk/glovebox/underseat. any stereo shop should be able to do it for you.
