Default Change the navi background color

Hello guys. I have a 06 GS 430 with navi and I have the option to change my navi background color from green,gray, blue, and brown. My father has a 2002 gs 430 with navi and I was wondering if he has the same option. If so could someone post instructions/location. My father is 4hrs away so I can't look at it myself.

Thanks.

It only changes for the time being while you are in the menu. It is gray/blue instead which I would prefer. I don't know for sure but I've tried it and no luck.

Thanks for all the help. My father said the background use to be a greenish blue color but now its brown. Something had to change for him to notice it. I will ask him to send me some pics.

No... I'm asking about the navi system on a 2002 GS-430.

on some cars you can have it set to automatic- every couple of weeks or every month it will change automatically. But you can select the color manually, too. I could do that on my 04 GX... Am I missing something?

Your 2004 GX may have a different generation nav system (I'm not knowledgeable on what gen nav they put in what year GXs). He likely has ver 2/3 and you likely have ver 4
