I don't have a Nav, but I want one. The problem non fit the Lexus radio. I remember there was a JDM part floating somewhere that was compatible does any one know where it is?

Or have any tips for a aftermarket in dash nav?

Thanks

I don't know what the part number is but it is the OEM Toyota Harrier double DIN trim plate that you need. I bought it a long time ago, only I stacked 2 single DIN units insted, but a 2DIN will fit just as well.

Hi TrendyTodd, I was wondering if it's very hard to see your aftermarket NAV while driving since it's pretty low in the center console. Thanks!

did it get time to get used to? do you think it's pretty dangerous? thanks!

Well, it is a little hard, but its not that bad. If I have a hard time, I usually tilt the screen a little.

The one on ebay above doesn't look to have the inner plastic spacer inserts. You're going to need it to fill the gaps on the side.

I got mine from TrendyTodd, it cost a bit more than ebay but worth the price totally. It comes with inner piece and no scratch like the ebay used and abuse ones. I still haven't found time to install the 2nd Nav yet, I'm still working on
the side led mirrors from Nigel.

Trendy Todd, It looks like a really nice install. However, do you experience problems loading DVD/CD's because of the stick shift? I'm thinking of doing the same type of install in my RX 350 and was wondering; does the stick shift get in the way?

Paul how many times do you load CD or DVD ? Most Nav comes with mp3 player and ipod adapter as separate accessories. You can potentially have a whole CD worth of mp3 and gigs of ipod music at your disposal. As far as watching DVD while driving is illegal and very dangerous when the screen is this low. I don't think you want to do that and cause an unnecessary fender bender for stupid mistake like that.

You can get the dash kit from beatsonicusa.com too...they sell the kit for $89.00 and a plethora of other radio dash kits for oddly designed imports; Infiniti, Lexus, etc. Check it out.

I have just had this done on my Rx400h. I got a Kenwood 5260BT. Will post pictures soon. I got a rear camera installed as well, the wiring goes all they way into the rear door obviously.

I used the kit from beatsonic which deals with factory amp and no nav. The screen is a bit low and I will need to get used to it, I hope I eventually will. All my speakers still work with the stock amp but I have lost the fader.

Also, I installed a PAC audio steering remote unit that works with the stock steering. An essential investment if you ask me. Got one for $60 off ebay.

Since mine is a hybrid, I was concerned I would lose the function of the "display" button which is very important, but the kit from beatsonic sorted that all out. I now have a full kit with sat nav, rear camera, bluetooth, dvd, mp3, usb the full shabang and it has all nicely come together with the stock speakers, steering and amp.

The only issue is that the sound is not very impressive, its actually worse than the stock CD player. I expected the opposite because its an aftermarket head unit. My installer has suggested that the sound would be much better if we bypassed the stock amp completely because its powering the speakers for low gain or something. The sound is not crisp and just dull. I am now considering an aftermarket amp, speakers and a subwoofer to complement the whole system. I am looking for a 6 channel amp liek JL XD600/6

Anyways, I hope my post was useful. Please feel free to ask any questions. I had a question too though. As I am considering installing a subwoofer, I wanted to know if anyone has been able to get a custom install that saves on boot space. I just cannot give up any boot space except for the space above the shocks inside. Any ideas? Any pictures to go?

I will place the amp where the stock amp is, so thats not an issue, its the sub really.
