Tell them you are interested in a product like this one but for our generation GS.
If we get enough people interested, maybe they'll make one for us.

Dear Evan Schoups,
We have sent requests to our engineering department. They will evaluate the requests and hope they will start developing units for 2nd-Gen Lexus cars. But I can't promise anything until I see the actual units coming out.

We will let you know once such units are available or you may also check with our website at http://www.flyaudio.us

Thank you.
Victor Du

most nav units these days are far superior to the stock nav units and easier to use.

I do not use nav that much. When I do, I just pop it on the windshield and go to where I need to go.

The Nuvi I have will tell me the nearest gas station/restaurants/hospitals etc etc. With their phone numbers and miles to get there. That's more than enough for me. Plus unlike the factory nav units to update them, it's cheap and easy.

The only decent thing about factory units is that they look good in the dash.

2,000 for nav years ago was a good deal. Now? Not so much.

And I do realize that is an aftermaket unit, which I am sure is nice....but still 2000.00 for something to replace something you already have? nah.

I don't have OEM nav. Thats why this is an alternative to setting up a factory nav system.. which is more costly and doesn't have half the features of this thing. I'm sure the nav is capable of telling you more stuff than the OEM nav would.
