ARM350F

I'm finalizing a deal on an IS350 F sport and I am wondering where it's worth getting Nav I'm fine with the base stereo. Is there a big difference between one with and one without?

you can read very long threads on the subject.

I have nav and like to use the google maps on my phone much better.

One could argue that the radio interface without nav, using the Lexus Display Audio system with the dial instead of the remote touch controller, is easier and more intuitive, so there is a benefit there if you don't see yourself using the actual navigation function. Personally I use the nav system very frequently so my personal preference would be to go with nav, but don't pay for it if you aren't going to use it.

I cannot recall if the non nav models have a rearview camera though, so you may want to investigate that.

Backup cam is available, but not standard on non-nav cars. The Enform App Suite is only available on cars with navigation though.

So Nav it is then, mostly for the Mark levonsin stereo though.

i can't believe you found a 350 F-sport without Nav!

There wasn't a single one when i was looking around a year ago

Nav takes a while to set up. I can honestly just type in an address on my phone 3x as fast.

But its meh.. might come in handy someday. Maybe like long distance trip and you don't wanna burn your phone's data or battery or something.

I guess times have changed. I picked up my new 350 F sport yesterday. There were about 3 or 4 cars to choose from with atomic silver. Love the car.
