Default Newbie Question?

so if you get the GS with Nav you can get the attachment that makes it also play DVDs? as in the DVD will show up on the Nav screen or just the extra scrrens you hook it up too? planning on picking up a GS300 RWD soon and want to make sure on this before i decide what options i want!

thanks!

if u get a gs w/ NAV and ML it comes with a dvd changer that allows you to play dvd movies...to play it while moving you'l lhave to mod it.

but you can always do a seperate HU and run screens for the rear headrest...

HU= headunit

it's really up to you on replacing it with an aftermarket unit...i would imagine you would need a custom face plate to get it to look anywhere close to the factory finish.

actually come to think of it...you dont want to do that...you'll loose a lot of the informational screens that are on the factory HU...
