Check this thread out, you need to contact Todd for the JDM bracket to do the aftermarket nav

Does the stock nav even work? It would pretty sweet if both of them were operative.

CK6speed did paint his. Kinda lazy to look for it right now, but if you search the RX-2nd gen forums or by his sn, or even PM him, you may get better luck.

Frankr66, sweet setup, I'm doing the same thing too, since I have a voice activated Avic-Z1 with all the accessories (5.1 DSP decorder, DSP controller, center channel speaker, bluetooth adapter, Ipod controller, half din DVD, 2 high end Ecllipse Amp, MB Quarts Premium speakers, 2 JL 10w6v2 woofer ) with the latest maps loaded since I have all that from my old car, I will put it all back in instead of spending extra money trying to patch the factory Nav's handicap

The stock NAV does work! I also only upgraded the door speakers so the dash speaker used for the stock NAV voice still works. Sometimes for giggles I will program my destination on both and see which routes are suggested; though the Garmin inside the Kenwood is usually better.

The bluetooth also still works; the only thing I lost was the steering wheel controls (i need to order another adapter for it) and for whatever reason the sunroof tilt button will now open and close the sunroof all the way

Oh yea I have seen his picture sometime when he posted it up. It doesn't look bad at all. Didn't he also paint the black plastic parts to his bluish paint color? Oh he changed his wheels too didn't he?

That's pretty cool, because I have been wanting a new system for my vehicle, and I don't want to lose the climate control since it's controlled from the nav screen. I think I might try also, and maybe I'll enter destinations on both nav like you hahaha

Oh by the way you just need to reprogram your sunroof. You might have triggered it when your installing your sound system. My guess is you have unplugged your battery terminal too long that it lost it's memory on the sunroof.

No problem, I'm waiting on the JDM Harrier double din bracket to come in
before I can start putting all the goodies back in, once I have it done
I will be sure to take some pics, but in the meantime I will take some pictures of the parts

Ok... So I'm 16... My mom has a 2009 Lexus Rx350, Black/Obsidian w/navigation and mark levinson SS. My parents bought me a 2007 lexus IS350 a couple months ago, and my mom and I are thinking about trading cars. I want the RX because it's bigger and it's black. My car is white...(chick color) I would like to get an intake and exhaust for the RX and maybe some darker tint... other than that, I think it's a nice car and there is nothing else I would do to it. (FLOWMASTER BABY) !!!!!
