Im not use how you can do so , but ive heard they may install a DVD BOX for the American LS. Then you could get the Gulf DVD Map and run it using the Map DVD Player inside the glove box. Please let us know if you find a solution to this problem.

Regarding thr price , how much did it cost you ? is it " LS 460 L " or " LS 460 " , about the shipping as well ? Congrats on the 380 Horse Power.

I know a couple of friends who own an American LS 430 and had a 3rd party unit. Theyve been successful as they say.

57K is an excellent price.

Is it a 4 or 5 passenger ?

What is the car Millage/Km ?

What is the shipping cost ?

How long did it take for the car to arrive
