What are you trying to show us? You can buy the navi and install it if you don't have navi.

[djsai]

Read the link. That is NOT the OEM nav.

It looks just like it, and suggests it fits just like it, but it's vastly more full-featured than the cripple-nav system Lexus puts in their cars. (higher def screen, better ipod interface, plays USB, can even take a TV tuner)

(it can even show you the actual pressure in your tires, the lack of which is the one thing that makes my car look bad next to the cheapest GMs out there)

I've seen a couple links for that thing, but not anybody that has actually tried it out yet.

ive seen it a while ago.. just nobody has gotten it..
i kind of want it.. hopefully you'll be able to load your own maps because i dont need chinese gps..

Here is where u can buy it. Sold by a USA company with US/canada maps on a 2gig SD card (free updates!!) $2,000 ... but it does a lot more than the OEM system. It even has ipod cable included and can do backup camera ... and even individual TPMS...

I am seriously considering buying this.... djsai, THANK YOU

[djsai]

Thanks for your input guys, But do u guys think this will be a good unit, like reliablity, sound quality?

[GiantsFan]

Why dont you get it and let us know ... JK ...

Well, for quality, we cant really know, as nobody has it. But from looking at it... it looks like a real solution to us 2IS owners.

Yeah I am soon going to be doing a custom dash kit for my IS but I came across this and i was like hmm something close to OEM but lil better. But the shop that I went to took my whole dash out and the only way I can do a double-din is in the bottom where the cd changer is. But prettttty soon I am going to do the custom install. I dont know about trying this lol...

[jbounnoi]

dopee.. on my to do list after my new rims and vertex kit lol.

IMO ... a double din in our cars doesn't look that great... plus the bottom area is harder to see. I would choose this over a custom install, but I can understand why you would be hesitant as no one has tried this before. But as they say, someone always has to be the first! (which might be me if no one gets this by mid-2010)

didnt see it on there, but I want the back up camera module!!

[quintmann]

yeah i want that too!! but i just noticed that on the unit from flyaudio...the disc slot is just under the screen. but in our cars, the disc slot is on the lower section of the radio...so that means if we add this unit, we will have 2 disc slots on our dash....

[GiantsFan]

Im assuming they have that second slot for the DVD player, as us non-navi guys can only play CDs in our OEM disc changer...
