Default FT: Gen 4 Navigation ECU - upgrade your gen 3!

I upgraded my gen 3 navigation ecu with a 4th gen early last yr. I am trying to get $450 obo + your working gen 3 ecu. Used prices run anywhere from $900-$1500. Comes with the original 4.2 disc. No problems with the unit. Just looking to get some cash.

gen4 ecu p/n: 86841-50090



If anyone need more photos or have any questions, let me know... I post them up asap! Thanks for looking.

It's the ecu only (DVD based computer located in trunk). Plug-n-play for the 01-05 GS. No idea if it works on the 98-00 GS.

That would be illegal.... By the way, it wouldn't work on a HDD drive like your 98-00 GS.. DVD drive navi's are from 01 and up....

Here you go!



Navi bypass so you can input while the car is in motion.




Systems checkup screen.. ECU (OK) perfect working order.


Every option works, but the background color change does not save. You can change the background color, but our screen doesn't have the ability to save that particular info.

Where in Cali are you located? I in Anaheim/Fullerton area. You are more than welcome to come check it out! Thanks.

I have more photos. If you or anyone else is really interested, I will email it...

I really can't be for sure, but from what i've read, it is not compatible with the 98-00 GS. Only work on 01-05GS. I took these photos today of my car, which is a 2003 model.

And I wouldn't be able to sell it to you since i need a replacement gen 2/3 ecu before I could sell mine. Sorry

I have a 01 GS430 and my understanding is that it is the gen 2 correct so that means the gen 4 nav should work right? If so, i am willing to do the deal and ship you the unit first and wait since i can drive my other car..let me know..
