Question navigation monitor to dvd ?

Is there anyway to play dvd video on the Is300 stock nav screen, is there a switch kit out there or something. Thanks for any reply.

Yes, like Genearch said, it is mainly for the GS, but if you PM Vlad or VVT-i and ask they can easily help you out.

Yes, it will work on the IS,LS,SC and ES as well. Right now I'm sure some IS owner is working on the installation.

Tri, did they say what it included? I think for that price it includes a DVD, but not sure. Did they say if it had to be installed by a Stereo shop? Or if they would include instructions so we can do it? Thanks man.

Last time I checked on the nav-tv.com (4-5 months ago), they want your car overthere in NY. I don't think they will give you the kit for the DIY. Tri5spd, just check on my thread in electronics forum under 'Just installed Vlad's Video-Nav I'.

Navigation Screen

Just about any Lexus, Jaguar, or Acura equipped with navigation.


This unit is a video format converter with switching circuit. It can insert a video source to the stock navigation screen. The unit only handles video, so a RF modulator or alternate audio sourcing is needed as well. Call for more details.

Dealer products may not be ordered online.


Description Price Order Now
Universal Adapter for Lexus / Jaguar / Acura $1399 1-866-477-3336




It doesn't say anything about a dvd player included.

A week and a half>????? That is a long time! I spoke with them earlier, they said they have to talk to the shop that will install it and tell them, or instruct them on the install. The shop must buy the converter from them though. That is the same response I received from them a few months ago, they will not allow for a DIY'r to do it.

I guess we'll just have to check back in about a week to see what unvme is gonna post.

By any chance, does anybody know why my headlight warning light came on after Installing my Eibach springs? The warning light thats on the instrument cluster.

Your HID leveling sensor is mount on the left rear lower control arm and one on the front, but to do rear struts you have to drop the rear lower arm. They probably didn't line it up with a little hole where the mounting bracket for the sensor suppose to be.

I did the work myself. I though that would be the problem but i went to check it out again And yes the little notch on the end of the washer is in the hole that its suppose to line up with. I know I did it right the first time but I'm gonna double check it again later with the tire off.. I'll be back
