Default GS300 non-navi -----> Navigatation

Hi all,

Was wondering, what's your views on installing a FACTORY Navigatation system on a non-navigatation GS300??? Either I would buy the system from Lexus or from a wrecked vehicle. The bottom like is, keeping the vehicle -stock- This should be a 'direct' bolt-in replacement, right?

Thanks ya'll

Sheldon,

I'm moving this post to the Lexus Electronics forum. BananaGS is the only person who I know that has done that conversion and it's not exaclty plug-and-play... I'll look for him to reply or you can also search for some of his old posts where he describes it!

I got a extra complete plug and plug OEM nav for GS3/4 99-00 for sale, but as of now, it's SOLD
unless the buyer back out, I gave him 1 week to decide and 30 warranty
you only need to connect 3 wires to the car (using my own homebuilt wiring) and it's up running


here are some pix

hi there, does the navs on the GS300 also fit the 400 and vice versa? Also where do you get your Navis from? What about updating the software??


Thanks.

-all GS300 and 400 are the same (same fitting)
-try call around for junkyards (not easy to find)
-get latest update software from lexus ($270 with old software to trade in)

Banana,

Would you send me a PM with your price on this? I did the compass mirror upgrade, but I'm REALLY directionally challenged sometimes

Thanks

hey man, the mirror upgrade you did, was it the new mirror style that Lexus/Toyota is using now, like in the new Camry & RX300? If so, where did you get your mirror?

I'm not sure what the new mirror style is, but here's the link of my install with pictures.

I'll send you a PM with more info.
