Default After Market Parts

I have 1990 LS400. I want it with navigation, but I want it to be the original one. Also, where it shows the time, that one side the green color is fading away, making the numbers less visible. How can I fix that?

Also, the car has Air Suspension (between Normal and High), but the car looks too high even in normal mode. If i decide to lower the car by 2 inches, will I still be able to use the air suspension?

you really need to search.

there was no "original" navi on pre 1998 cars. and even the one avail on 98-00 is woefully obsolete.

the clock LCD would need to be replaced. serach.

you can't lower the car with factory air suspension (as there are no springs) without a controller. be warned, riding any lower than stock will very quickly blow the oem bags.

PD,, gonna contradict 1 point to your response concerning Navi. A few of the Euro Celsiors WAS offered with it, but their sales were far and few between so, like the rain guards, they never caught on. I have seen a few in my searches for unique stuff over the years for ny own first gen.


Incredible,,,
1. NONE of the LS400's of the first gen came to the states WITH navigation. A few of the European models (Celsiors) had them but there sales were far and few between. You MAY be able to find an original one from Yahoo Japan, or a similar site, but it will be for cosmetics only. The ORIGINAL unit(provided that you find one), was not upgradeable and as stated above WILL be woefully obsolete.

2. LCD needs to be replaced, as stated above.
3. Only way to ride lower than stock on factory air is with an aftermarket controller. Warning that PD mentioned above does stand true.

True,, not to mention that finding one is like locating the Holy Grail. A few of us believe that it does exist, however finding one is almost an Godly act.

Just to clarify the Toyota Celsior was only sold in Japan and they were only made in RHD, in the rest of the world they were badged as Lexus LS400.
So even if you were lucky enough to find one of these rare nav units it would be completely designed for the JDM and completely useless anywhere else in the world.
Mine was a personal import nearly 5 years ago and no it doesn't have the nav system or air suspension or even an EGR system as they are not required in Japan
