Can anyone tell me if a rear camera comes with the Nav. system of a #9700B 2004 GX470?

see the thread titled "Ugh" on this board. It seems that the camera option and tire pressure monitors will be on November builds, available in December/January while the KDSS suspension will be on the January builds available February/March. That's one rumor. The other is that none of the new features will be available until Feb/Mar.

Seems silly to me that they came out with the new RX with the camera, but didn't have it ready for the GX. Surely the NAV electronics are the same and it wouldn't have taken much to do.

I was at the dealership yesterday and noticed that the LS430 has the optional backup camera as well as the Intuitive Parking Assist.

I just took delivery of a (Sept) build with Nav/ML no back up camera.The 9700B is for GSVW weight of 6150lbs. I am sure an after market rear camera will be on the market soon. The clever people on this forum have already figured a way to input video to the screen adding a camera should be easy.

I have not heard of a way to input video to the front screen. Can you point me to the thread?

I tried with some high end car electronic place for quite some time (over 4 months) and could not get video into the GX nav system.

Unless this system is brand new and can accomodate the GX I wouldn't buy it before checking. There are many systems out there to input video, but they are for older style navigiation systems.

I checked with AVElectronic and this was their response.

This uses a new style system and I wanted to make sure.

AVElectronic makes a Nav-Tuner unit for all Lexus vehicles but, sound quality sucks. Dealer cost on their unit is $385.00.
