Hello guys.I am new to this forum as i just recently bought a lexus gs430 with only 10700 km on it. I have been reading this forum a lot for the past two weeks and searching outside it but couldnt find the answers or the threads were to old and couldnt be applied. I would appreciate if you could suggest on the following:

1)The best way to fully integrate iphone 5s with the car.I need video output along with music and charger.My iphone is jailbroken. I contacted vaistech and they said they dont have any solution for my requirements since i have only the 4th generation of navigation system. The only thing they have is sli3i,sli3b and mml which allows to use iphone just to listen to music. Is there any alternative solution?

2)Can i replace the head unit/radio with something like that

3) I have straight import from japan so all buttons of navigation are in japanese.I contacted the lexus dealer in NZ but they said that i cant get buttons in english and my only option is to buy $7,500 navigation unit....Do you know of a place where i can get buttons in english or stickers?

4)I saw some people have dash stickers of different style(wood type and so on) and wanted to know where i can get a good quality stickers for the dash?

5)I have seen some people do install intake for their cars and i just wanted to know on whether it really improves the performance or at least reduces the petrol consumption?Some people say it does and others say it doesnt...

I would really appreciate any help you could provide.

Pay $2k and do a USDM Navi conversion?

You CAN put in aftermarket radios, someone has done it, but there isn't support for aftermarket bezels out there, you'll be stuck on that part, might even have to get the bezel custom made.

You'll have to be more specific with dash stickers..... Our cars have really nice trim already as is, I'm not sure if you want to relayer it with trim sticker.

Look for a wrecked GS with the parts you want?

I am from New Zealand and gs are extremely rare and expensive....probability to find wrecked gs is the same as to see an alien on the street lol.

Regarding the stickers for the dash I meant something like that but of a high quality. http://www.ebay.com/itm/2006-07-LEXUS-GS430-GOLDEN-BIRDS-EYE-MAPLE-WOOD-FINISH-DASH-KIT-/360466436570?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3ALexus%7CYear%3A2006&hash=item53ed7951da&vxp=mtr

Ohh, that.... You don't want that, that's just tacky altogether, unless you're looking to preserve the dash or something.

They never seem to "blend" well with the car, as in the contours and stuff. But that's as close as you'll get to a high quality wood finish dash kit.

GL!
