Default Backup Camera

Default 04' and 03' are different!

As far as I know if 04' GX comes with Navigation System, the Backup Camera should be equiped with your navigation also. It's a package set!

However, the 03 model did not have the Backup Camera.

David'sGX, not all '04 had the backup cam, roll sens airbags, and tire press.warning. If you have a "B" model, you dont have that equipment. You cant simply add a cam to the nav system. There is an entire computer module located in the right pass side interior, dedicated to the cam system.

how interesting...I thought all 04 models equipped with Nav comes with backup camera. Thanks for the info. Did these features become available after a certain date for 04 models?

hey guys

yes... i called lexus today (for some other reasons) and they told me that my car was produced in the begining of NOV 03 and all the cars which were made after 15 NOV 2003 are the ones which came with CAM/TirePressureMonitor/KDSS . with KDSS being the major upgrade.
In a way its not fair since i bought my car in Jan 2004 and was still given a car made prior to 15 NOV. I don't know if there's anything i can do about it.

sayadil, one correction. KDSS IS NOT bundled. It is a seperate option. 9700b=no cam, roll sens, tire press. 9700c has the options. KDSS is NOT avail for 9700b. I have a 9700c with no KDSS.

so your lexus came without KDSS... did you have the option to get it.... ? if yes, why dint you? if not, then don't you think it wasn't fair on part of the dealer to not tell you about it...

Davidsgx, its mid november 03 when it changed to 9700C.

sayadil, as for the KDSS, what are you talking about? I knew the KDSS was available. I did not want it.
You can't tow anything with KDSS.
The way I see it, its up to the buyer to do their homework. I found out about the 9700C while setting up the deal. I told the salesperson I wanted a "C" and not a "B". I waited an extra 2 weeks. Got what I wanted.

As I said in the other thread, is your car a Canadian model?
If so, all bets are off. The various items may be different for your car.

Lexus states in the owners manual. Towing is NOT recomended with KDSS. You also cant get the towing package with KDSS. It interferes with the suspension system.

This has been discussed at length in other threads.
