Has anyone successfully installed an aftermarket navigation system in a 2006 gs300? I have one without nav or ml and I want to install either a Pioneer AVIC-N3 or Z1. I have around $3000 to spend. Would this void my warranty? Is it possible to have the dealership install an original dvd nav unit? I would also like for my oem touch screen and my steering wheel sound controls to continue working with the new head unit. I took my car to Sound Advice and the installer there told me that he wouldn't even touch the car for fear of breaking something. I then contacted Crutchfield and they don't have any information whatsoever. I have searched everywhere without success. Thanks.

There are alot of problems with what your thinking of.

First, why would you keep the OEM touch screen if you
want to install a AVIC-N3 or Z1? They have their own
touch screens.

You have to keep your OEM screen, how else will you control
the Heating/ AC? Or gain access to the Info screen?

If you must have a navigation system, purchase an ALPINE
V-Hub Pro. Then buy the ALPINE navigation system.

It will give you a Great navigation controled by your OEM
screen. $3000 should get you there.

I wish I could just add the factory nav.

I need the oem screen to continue to work for my climate control. I was thinking of losing the six disc and putting the pioneer there, but I was told that it wouldn't work.Thanks for the tip on the alpine hub. Has anyone else here installed an aftermarket nav or stereo on an 06 gs?

When you get any info post it up. I been looking everywhere to get the same thing done and no luck.

Even I prefer doing that but it is not feasible or cost more money. But right now I am trying to configure Vasitech SL2VI with Mimics X2 so I can completely control IPhone from head unit,I need to install switch before I call it is completely ready & usable.

My Initial test run with the setup looks promising.
