my radio is messed up so i was thinking i would just put a all in one gps ac and radio in. im not worried about hooking up the gps unless its not that big of a deal. let me know if you have done this. thanks guys

 

if your talkin about replacing it for a STOCK lexus navi!
THAN NO!
its possible but not worth thr trouble time and money! settle for an after market indash touch screen

 

id rather go after market that has all the goodies...Bluetooth..dvd..rear cam..Serius program and that sort.

 

Im going to have to do this soon, keep us up todate on what you do maybe take install pics I would be greatfull. GL

 

yes you can you just have to get the ac controls from a non nav car about 150 buck from a dismantler

 

i did it to mine heres pics

 

Yup, but I would stick with an aftermarket one and not go OEM. The one that will cover up both the radio and a/c control is called a Double-DIN receiver.

 

i dont care if the nav works i just want it for the radio and the ac.

im trying to go from this


to this

 

Just get an aftermarket doubledin unit with Navi. You will still keep the ac controls. If you want to replace it with an OEM Navi unit, be prepared to spend more and be less limited to what you can do with the unit.

 

why the factory stuff is crap use your money and buy a good aftermarket double din with NAV even if you dont use it. it will be there waiting for the one time you will.

 

are the plugs the same or did you have have to splice to connect the non nav temp control harness?

 

well the problem doing this is how will you control your ac and stuff if the screen doesnt work? remember on the nav models we change our ac modes and stuff on the screens

 

ok i have this but the radio is broken


i want to swap my old oem for the newer one as i can get one for the same price as fixing the old oem i have. im unsure how the navi works or if it need anything for the navi to work. if it is a self contained navi cool if not o well. i dont need the navi i just want it for the ac, radio and cd changer

 

and AGAIN im saying how will you control your ac if u have the nav screen in there? u cant fit the oem NON nav climate controls and the screen in there so u can have one or the other.....nav SCREEN wont function without alot of work and the climate wont work correctly without the screen working so in short im saying without alot of work it wont work for you. just keep your climate controls and get a aftermarket radio

 

Save yourself the trouble...keep the original hvac controls and get an aftermarket double din unit. You can listen to music via CDs, USB, ipod, iphone, you can watch DVDs, connect to Bluetooth, satellite radio...many USEFUL options.
