Okay, I just wanted to make this thread because of the fact that every week or so it seems, I am seeing someone on the forums asking about this swap. I am only providing this information as a courtesy for our members because this is indeed a popular subject, so enough with that,
Can I just buy all the parts and do it myself? YES [This will be elaborated]
-The most common question that is asked on this forum is, "is it simple?" the answer to that can be answered as both yes and no.
YES because of the fact that if you are comfortable with opening up your dash, both including the center console area where the shifter and cup holder is all the way up to the whole A/C and radio unit. You will also need to take out the glove box to reach the CAN communication area on the passenger side and the under cover on the drivers side to get access to the OBD2 connector and reverse wire. You will also need to have access to the Factory amp to run the wire for the voice directions that will play the nav speeches. Last but not least the steering wheel airbag and overhead sunroof switches will need to be removed as well to run the wire for the mic and the steering wheel switches.
NO because you have to tap into your factory wires with the nav harness [if provided] to get the nav to see your A/C controls and speed sensor and other sensors.
BEAR IN MIND THIS IS VERY CONDENSED and you will need to study the electrical systems of the 2IS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you subscribe to the TIS and do some homework as i did.
What will i need to get the swap done? YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING PARTS:
-NAVIGATION SCREEN
-CD PLAYER OR DVD PLAYER [AKA ML DVD PLAYER] Thats if you want to play movies in your car
-NAVIGATION WIRING HARNESS [THIS WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE MUCH MUCH MUCH EASIER FOR THE SWAP] OPTIONAL BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO GET IT RIGHT IF YOU DONT HAVE THIS
What are my options on having this installed becuase I don't want to attempt this?!
Well. you have a very limited choice of options. First one, which is the one I have used to get this swap possible was the user on this forums named, lexusaudio. He goes goes by egusman on ebay. That is where i first got my taste of the nav swap. That is all the info I will provide. The other option would be to get in contact with the few members that have done this mod. I am planning on doing a list of everyone that has done it on this forum.
-Lexus DealerThe most expensive way and probably what 99 percent of you will not go about doing is getting it from your local dealer. Just a taste of what you will look at paying straight out of your stealership for the nav screen is around 8 grand, give or take alittle. Nuff said. If you want to take this route, you must be ballinnnnnnnn.
-eBay This is probably where 99 percent of you will get the parts. As you probably see daily, the nav unit is constantly being auctioned off on eBay. One thing i will warn you though is most of these sellers are advertising "NAVIGATION FOR YOUR NON NAVIGATION IS" when in fact with just the unit, you will have nothing but a large heavy paper weight. You WILL need the proper wiring or else this little project will become a huge mess. MAKE SURE YOU GET THESE ITEMS IN THE AUCTION ALONG WITH THE ACTUAL UNIT ITSELF, the nav wiring harness!!!! that is very important!!! All in all, you are looking at around 1,500 all the way up to 3,000 USD for just the parts alone depending on the configuration and what is included. I have seen some auctions include everything, including the ML amp and all the speakers, it ended at around 2,500 USD which is a steal!
-egusman This is the route I took with my non nav to nav venture. egusman is an experienced OEM nav/electronics guy. He does nothing but Lexus/Toyota navigation swaps and has been doing for a long time. I will leave this at this and you will have to do some homework as to where you can find him. TOTAL COST: 3,000 USD. Could be more or less as I did mine a year ago.
Bear in mind that i did the full swap successfully to my 2006 IS250 RWD. I had a premium package option only IS and added the factory Navigation with DVD player and have full bluetooth handsfree, dvd movies, steering wheel buttons working with voice guidance. There are also a few others that have done this full mod as well.
In the end, is it worth it? well, to me, it was. A lot of people will say to just buy another car but that just wasn't an option for me and besides that point, i think i got to know a lot more about my cars electronics and wouldn't have it any other way.
