PH,

Alpine and Pioneer both make pretty nice in dash units with fold out TV's but then you would have to figure out how to tie in the ML factory sound system.. Too much trouble in my books for a TV option but that is the pro and con of having a aftermarket TV installed!

Hope that helps!

PH,

Might be cheaper to trade your car in for a new one with the NAV option.. I cruised by my local Lexus dealer at lunch today and they have a few in with NAV.. Its pretty cool.. Selling for $88,400 CDN (List Price).. This is one of the new dealerships (Oakville Lexus) and they had like 4 on the lot (Most I have seen in one place)..

How do you like the new suspension??

trade it in eh....sound like i'll be loosing alot of $$$.... i think i'll pass for now(big2)...

suspensions good. but it sure seems like theres gonna be a few squeaks and rattles inside the car in the long run due to the bumpier ride. but i should have gone with a coilover setup. but its still fine and im going to keep this setup till i get the wheels and see how much gap i have. hopefully i can fit 285's in the back so the gap will be minimal. just waiting for my wheels now....

PH,

i just read thru 2 jdm wheel catalogs for you, and they both suggest 285 with a side note:"may cause slight rubbing in the rear if you lowered the car"

the key word here is "may"...plus, i do not know how much you lowered your car...
