Back-up camera

Can you retro-fit the back-up camera on a GS300 without Nav/ML?

You should be able to... but not with Lexus' help.
I asked the dealer and called customer service at the 800 number, getting the same answer - NO

I can't imagine it would be that big a deal... the display is already there... and so's the wiring, apparently, you would need the camera and an electronics module. Acura offers a backup camera as a dealer accessory, if you have the nav display - makes you wonder why Lexus doesn't.

In our area, 3GS can be order with rear camera without NAV. I guess you only need to find the correct part number for the parts and install yourself or tried to special order your GS factory installed.

That's really good to know... now all we need is the parts list...
