Default Is that possible to upgrade 07 ES350 to navi with backup camera?

My 07 ES350 is still in warranty, and there is not navi system.

I just wonder if it is possible to install Navi system with backup camera(yes, backup camera is first priority) in either dealer or third party.

How much about that usually? and has anyone done this before?

thank you very much.

There are kits for the back up camera, check e-bay motors or your local car stereo dealer / installer. Lexus OEM parts installed by Lexus techs = less money to trade yours in for a newer model with the equipment. Regarding the OEM navigation system: better to buy a Garmin or Tom Tom and wire it direct to your fuse system. I prefer my Tom Tom installed in my '07 Impala SS. Can use on the fly versus Lexus system that needs to be in park to utilize more. Just my 2 cents / experience.

It is possible but I suspect it will be costly. Call the dealer and get a price. Also take a look at some aftermarker in dash nav systems. I suspect they will all be costly.

I went on www.crutchfield.com, one of the larger stereo mail order companies. They have a Clarion NZ500 that will fit your dash, includes GPS navigation and a free back up camera. Cost is $599. You would need to upgrade your speakers too plus installation. I've dealt with them way back in the early 80s and had no problems back then.

thank you for your response.
how difficult will the installation be?
and, do you have installation guide/manual? should you press particular bottom to turn rear view camera on?

I would imagine you should have a professional shop install it. Crutchfield usually gives complete instructions on a particular car as to how to install it. Being a Lexus, it will probably be more complicated than a Chevrolet. The Clarion website should have even more information on the particular unit. Crutchfield had even more units available but this one caught my eye with the free back up camera, integrated into the unit. You may see a better one on their website.
