No, navigation is not a dealer installed option.

If you search our forums, you'll find a handful of people who have installed it themselves, e.g., here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...avigation.html

i was told by my dealer that if your car does not come with the navigation, and you want them to install a navigation in it. they will have to take it back to the factory and have it installed which will cost around 2 - 3 k.
