Default Finally Got One! but...

I have been been longing for a GS Lexus for soooo long and finally I got one yesterday! Wow, I love the car. I got it tinted and put some ZINIK riims on it. Looks great.

I am disappointed about one thing. I ordered the GS from a car broker and thought that the GPS package came with the Mark Levenson system. I didn't I'm more concerned with not be able to play a DVD movie. I didn't know you had to have the ML system to play the CDRs and DVDs.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me about how to play movies? IEven if I bought a DVD player for the car, could I play it on the GS's screen?

Thanks, MsBehavin in LV

wait, so you got a car with nav but NO ml systems? somehow i thought the nav and ml systems are together as a package on the 3gs? @_@ this is new to me

regardless, it's definitely doable. most good audio shops they can easily integrate a dvd player

It is very common with navi and not ML. But if you have ML you also get navi always.

Congrats on your purchase Post some pix please.

You know i always though that ML/NAV option go hand and hand and you cant seperate them. Or atleast that what i understood from the dealership when i got that option.

I am glad that I'm not the only one that thought that the NAV and DVD came together. I'm so annoyed. Also, I don't care that I don't have the Parking Assistant thing but don't give me a button to a feature that I don't have!!!

The color is flint mica and the rims are 18". I asked the broker for black interior and got the gray. I don't mind the gray at all BUT DID I MENTION I DON'T HAVE A ML SYSTEM????

I live in Vegas and have easy access to SEMA, I should go see what I can do about this!

Well, I guess I can only upload one picture....
What do ya think?

Are you looking for the stock 17's? Mine will be up for sale in a few days as soon as my new 18's come in.
