Navigation system installation 2002-2003
2002 Lexus es300
I recently bought a whole factory navigation unit ML for my 02 es300 from ebay. since i didnot had a premium sound and not a ML system i thought it might not work but when i installed the screen it started working and everything works fine. the only thing i am having problems with is that i am lost with all the wires on the navigation DVD player that goes in the trunk. ..dont know which wire goes where.
i know that one set goes to the head unit but what about the other set? im lost.
please help

I finally got it done...navigation is installed and working GREAT...my head unit is a ML nav unit but my car had premium sound and i was still able to use the same speakers and amp and the ML system worked on my premium system...i had to do a few wiring mod like finding the speed sensor wire for the nav and the amplifier input to hear my nav. system works great. i didnt get a chance to take any pics since i wasnt sure if it will work. but its not that bad...all you will need is the wiring diagram for the whole unit...i am an engineer so i figured it out..if you are one it will be a piece of cake for you. if you are not it will be a little chalanging but not impossible.
i paid about $900 for the whole factory system including the front head unit with casing, antena and GPS module with DVD.

2002 ES300 Navigation Wiring
Hi,
I know this is an old thread... but I purchased a GPS head end and installed it in my daughter's 2002 ES300. The radio etc works fine but could use some help with the GPS / Navigation DVD player.
At first glance I did not see any wires in the trunk...
Where did you find the schematics?
I assume you wired to the large 18pin, the adjacent 10 pin connector and the 2 pin GPS.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Also... Does anyone know anything about the backup camera for this radio?

I'm afraid I don't have the answers as you asked many of the same questions I asked.
I was hoping someone with experience in adding GPS (or had a car with GPS) could shed some light on the wiring.
As to the question I can answer... I got a great deal and paid less than $100 for the HE unit and honestly I don't know if came with the GPS DVD because I don't have the connectors to power up the NAV unit.
Can anyone out there share some information on the ES300 GPS wiring (in the trunk or otherwise)?

Yes... I received the NAV unit (see the pictures 3 and 4 in thread #9. I purchased the unit off ebay.
* I think I received everything except any special cables (that are not included with the car) and the GPS antenna.
I could make the cables it I had a schematic or could find the connector pinouts, etc.

Thank you very much. This is very helpful.
A couple follow-up questions.
* Do you also have the connector pictures that show which connectors are associated with the schematic pinouts?
* Do you know where the Navigation unit is installed in the 2002 ES300.
I assumed it was installed in the the trunk but when I looked there it was not obvious where it goes (or perhaps it gets installed elsewhere).
Again - Thanks a ton!
