According to the seller, it's a 2009 model, but I haven't receive it, so I'm not completely sure. The total for me was $580 - $10 (free SD card with IGO Primo) for total of $570, which included shipping and paypal fee. This is without external mic or camera (the camera looks kinda big, so I'll look for a smaller one; the ext. mic I thought I could add later if I want). I got the $10 free SD card because I was saying if it's a good shopping experience, I'll recommend people from ClubLexus there :-) You could try to do the same to see if you can get the free SD card as well.

Of course, I haven't got the unit yet, so I can't recommend or not recommend the seller. Anyway, the link is here: http://szlsqstar.en.alibaba.com/prod...vd_player.html

It does come with a 8" screen, I think they need to update the website as I was talking to one of the sellers they told me it's a 8" screen and not a 7".


I plan on purchasing the 09+ vents with this too but when I tried to look up the part number 55670-53020 , and showed me like 6 different ones, which one is the actually one that I would need anyone know??

Thanks man..did he tell you when it's expected to arrive?

All you need to do is buy the 09-10 air conditioner vents. Go to this site:
http://is.sewellparts.com/
Register and include your Club lexus user name - this will give you a nice discount.
Then buy this part - you can search for the part number below in the catalogue quick shop link at the bottom of the page.

REGISTER ASSEMBLY, INSTRUMENT PANEL, NO.3 BLACK, TRIM1#, 2# Part #: 5567053020C0 (In Stock)

The price should be 165$ + shipping.

I was doing a little research on roadrovers website and notice they rolled out navigation systems on the Android platform earlier this year.

Has anyone done any research to see if/when this will be available for the IS250 units? I am more than willing to wait for this to come out if they will have it available at some point.

After contacting Roadrover via Aliexpress.com and then from there by e-mail, the notorious Elaine He friended me on Facebook. I sent her a private message and this is the content of that discussion:

Me
Will you please develop a new Lexus IS head unit with Android or WM7 as its OS, better iPod functionality and more features?

Elaine He
hello Ted,
this is the newest lexus IS250. I donot know when Roadrover will make differetn OS.
You know,few factotry in China make this model,it still take time to improve .
If you like to get one for your car,pls send me email: sales2@bonroad.com,ok ?
Sometime I cannot enter facebook

I think this pretty much sums it up. I tried to give them feedback, but I guess she missed the point.

I plan on buying a rear camera online instead and have it installed later on but will I need to take apart the navigation to rewire? Or should I just get the navigation first and wait on the rear camera and install it all at once?

Asher

Do you have some pics of how you attach the camera? Where do you route the wires and where do you tap the reverse light wire?

Not sure, I just emailed them and they said it was mailed yesterday and gave me a tracking number ... it's currently sitting at HK. It's by DHL and the website said 5 days I think.

You got a new friend, what more do you want?

alexcapone

Thanks. I'm in no rush to get this unit so I want to wait it out and see if this comes out in an Android platform. I am betting that it eventually will since the 09-12 models are the same. Who knows, since Android is a trusted OS it might not have the bugs that we are seeing with the existing units.

Asher

does anybody know how to fix the airbag light to come on

Asher

sorry no pic but you wire it from the trunk to the front behind the seat and t the side panel allthe way to the glove box

alexcapone

Sorry I am not tech savy so forgive me if I am telling you what you already know. I did some more research and the android OS navigation systems that Roadrover will roll out will have MirrorLink technology. This is still a relatively new technology so it will take time for it to be available for all make/models. I believe it will support Android 4.0+ phones. If you want to read more about MirrorLink check it out here:

I emailed roadrover about whether this will eventually be available for IS250 but have not gotten a response yet. From a UI perspective alone this would definitely be worth the wait IMO. But again, one can only hope at this point.

I just spent about a half hour reading through all these posts.... from what I can see no one has posted a picture in the daylight of a proper fitment... the air vents seem to be a problem... If anyone has a picture of the proper OEM look fitment please post a picture.. thanks
