Default Upgrade navigation to stream music in 07-09 LS 460

Does anyone know the compatibility issues of buying a newer style 2010-12 navigation system that can stream music and install it in my 08?


Thanks in advance,
D

no idea about that but probably easier to buy something like GROM or some other brand and fit it

I know it's not Bluetooth like your looking for, but, you can use a headphone jack from your phone to the jack in the center console(in 2007-09 models), and play music through the AUX setup. It does work pretty well.

A cable for it like under $2...

I have an 07. I added a Bluetooth adapter made by HomeSpot, NFC enabled, for $23. I also got a ground loop device. When I get into the car the phone automatically connects. I choose the AUX input and can play anything off my S7. For less than $40 you can get done what you want. The HomeSpot was the second one I tried. This one powers on automatically, the first one you always had to reach into the console to hit a button. All of it is concealed into the console, so looks stock.

I've been using their USB and Ipod products for over a decade. This one shows up as an additional CD player with Song / Track / Artist metadata and ability to browse playlists. It's the closest to an OEM integration I've seen.
