Are you wanting the look of OEM nav or just want a nav in general?

Way too much of a hassle for what it is. Go aftermarket.

I have a friend with an '01 GS300 which he took his non-nav car and switch everything with a nav car he found.. It can be done but it really is too much stuff with wiring this and that, its alot of hassle. Just go aftermarket and it will be cheaper. If you want the stock nav look thats ok but theres no real benefit in stock nav except its "Stock".. The Electronics is so out dated - you can get an aftermarket unit that does everything for less than $900 where as if you went stock nav, prepare to spend $3K minimum for the sake of having nav Stock-style.. Not really worth going the stock route...

well i went and found 4 in the matter of 1 minute just by using the advanced search with key words like navigation &/or nav update &/or upgrade.your almost a 3 year old member so you should know bout the advanced search and what keywords work.btw trust me its not worth the $ to do this, buy a aftermarket double din with nav

You can download them off of the head unit brand's website for free.
