Default Adding GPS

I have a 98 ES300 and want to remove the factory radio/tape/cd player and add in a system that has GPS. What would you recommend to put into my car so it looks like it came from the factory and not cheap?

i just did this in my 97 es300 and im so glad I did !! It looks great and looks like it came with the car

First you need to pick out ur double din gps that you want.. I recommend a kenwood or pioneer double din.

Second you will need the toyota/lexus dash kit. Can be found on amazon for $20

Third you will need the toyota/lexus harness which can also be found on amazon or ebay.

@Zen470 Mind showing what your set up looks like?

Here's mine, no GPS though (photo taken last year).

Thanks. I went with the Pioneer GPS and it looks great. Even was able to match the colors from the climate control system.

This looks super cool, can you please share some details? What system is that?

I have 2005 ES330 & looking to do something similar (don't want GPS just a nice double din system with Bluetooth Aux etc)

I looked up at Crutchfield but got lost in so many options.

I think it's a Pioneer AVH4300DVD. Should be cheaper than what I got it for now.
