You can try this link to see if there is local retail for your location.
http://www.flyaudio.us/retailers

For ppl cant really find it locally.... u may also try this site, if u know chinese or can have some chinese friend to help you.
http://s8.taobao.com/search?q=is250+...297358_8935934
average price around 9500RMB, which is roughly 1400USD... but the unit from this site usually do not include a camera, u just need to get another cam from ebay or something.

Hi everyone,
I'm new to IS250 (RHD), and would like to install the FlyAudio for it.
Does anyone know where can I find a local dealer in Hong Kong?

So, I was interested in the FlyAudio solution a year or so ago but I read a lot of people saying that they were having functionality and customer support problems with the product. Has all of that been resolved as of late? Would you guys recommend this product now?

Price: Around $1999 (maybe cheaper with group buys)
Install time: 2-4Hrs depending on your experience

Initial Impressions:
After getting frustrated at researching a lot online for a kit and aftermarket Nav/Dvd Multimedia system the only superb solution I found was this FlyAudio unit for my 08 IS250.
The installation took about 3 hours for me and my friend to do it since the only hard part was the rearview camera. After installing the unit my impression was “ wow”…. This is a very sophisticated piece that FlyAudio produced which is in everyway superior to an OEM unit. I will explain everything in the video for you guys….

The only cons I found in this unit so far was
---No clock display on the external unit
Below are the temporary bugs it has that FlyAudio said would be upgraded with new software in future.
---Radio frequencies are not on point with original station frequencies
Ex – If your original local station number is 93.9 the station number shown in the display is 94.5~95.1 just couple numbers away. - FIXED
-Temperature is shown in Celsius not Fahrenheit - FIXED
-IPod interface doesn’t have a lot of options.

Overall I am very happy with this unit and they way it performs. Everything I wanted exceeded my expectations. Thanks to FlyAudio for making this system and hope they will fix the bugs above.

Hope you guys enjoy the video!!!Sorry about the quality and some unedited parts lol

Anyone who bought this unit plz feel free to post up your comments, tips, tricks etc..
FlyAudio!Is it made in China?In China,most of IS250 has no GPS and the screen.So we usually pay RMB20000(about USD$3000)to get a FlyAudio.But it is the first time I know it also sold in other country.

I want to get this navigation system for my car but have been told directly from flyaudio that there is an upgraded version coming out the end of july. I have searched several times and found a site http://www.**********.com.com/lexus-...stem_p607.html
This looks exactly like the flyaudio one but a heck of alot cheaper. Has anyone seen or purchased one off this site?
site is car gps navi.com

That seems to be a scam site... But come on man 348 for a gps navi unit? By the way the description there are copy and paste from flyaudio.cn

A bit more follow up with that **********.com

That site has a contact page with the hk headquarter address. That address is fake. You can try to search the address by google map and return no result.
