There is no way for you to install navigation on the base car. There would be too much hardware that would need to be installed, such as GPS antenna, SD card reader for maps, Remote Touch controller, etc. It would not be cost effective. Also, dealers will not help in ordering and installing parts.
Should've just ordered the car with the equipment/features you wanted. Carmakers don't allow add on of major features that require hardware like navigation and safety systems.

TBH you are not missing out on much, and probably better off using the fixed controller in your car. Just plug in any old smartphone with Waze or the latest Google Maps, and your going to be so far ahead of what the Lexus unit coudl ever offer

the sales helper , which about 25 years old told me when we are on test drive .
Are you guys heard that about Scout GPS LINK ?
How is that work ? Can I install app on my iPhone and use 8 inches displays ?
I wish had more money to buy with navigation but I hadn't .

The Scout GPS Link is only for the 2017+MY RX350. There might be some new hardware involved, but Lexus isn't very supportive of upgrading/updating software to the newest systems, so you probably won't be able to get navigation for your car. It's their way of getting customers to constantly move into new cars. Not to mention, Scout GPS Link doesn't seem to be doing very well...look at the terrible app reviews. You're better off using Waze or Google Maps on your phone, mounting your phone in a visible spot, and routing the audio through Bluetooth or USB.

Hello!
Open your maps app such as google or Apple maps.
Input the destination and press start and you are good to go.
Just make sure the phone is linked to your bluetooth system on your car!!!
If not, it will play from the speakers.
Congrats on your purchase and you can do it! I have NAVI and haven't used it once .

2018 Rx Navigation
I bought an RX 2018 without the navigation system. My car has the panorama screen but the viewing area is framed off within the screen and therefore, is smaller because I do not have the navi system. The viewing area is just for the radio, climate, etc. The panorama screen in this car seems to have a frame inside it to maintain the small viewing area. Can I add a navigation system to this car? If so, can I use the entire panorama screen viewing area? Is this something the Lexus dealer can do or another type of car tech installer?
