Default Non nav to nav conversion kit

Hi
I notice on ebay that somebody is selling a non-nav to nav converstion kit which doesn't require any wire chopping. It's selling at $500. It's custom made, but obviously quite expensive.
I'm considering something like this if I can pick up a nav unit for a good enough price, but does anyone know if there's anybody else offering a similar kit for less money?

Its not cheaper, but a lot of members have the Flyaudio unit. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...250-350-a.html

To my knowledge, the oem nav is plug n play for non navs. It has been done before. Google it.

Ive read up on it, but it's certainly not plug and play. Unless you've got a conversion harness there's quite a bit of cutting and rewiring.

I've looked at flyaudio ,but to get it shipped to the uk, or from the uk is very expensive and the temperature label are on the wrong side of the car for right-hand-drive cars.

Maybe contact fly audio directly see if you can get a special order one. Otherwise your options are limited
