Yes it does matter

 

Great thread. Just curious, what screen is this?

 

that's the vaistech ml+ setup screen. and that's the older firmware, the newer firmware is further improved i think

 

Ooooh....maybe time for an upgrade. I need to read up on what the features are first.

 

i upgraded the firmware in the unit after i got it installed. so yes that the older firmware pictured

 

tony if you have a itouch / iphone with ios4/5, you are going to love the ml+. i did a few and it's quite amazing

 

Hi. I hate that this is my first post but i am desperate for answers as i picked up some upgrades.

So i have an 06 gs300 with Navi and NO-ML. I bought the receiver, screen, and navi board (ecu) off of the 07 with no ML.

My question is.. does the 06 harness plug right into the 07 unit with no modification? I looked everywhere on this discussion but didnt quite find a straight answer.

 

yes it requires lots of cutting and rewiring and a couple custom made harnesses to make it all work. it IS NOT plug and play at all

 

got it. thanks man. your work was my inspiration.


btw, brand new parts from lexus was a grand total of about $14,500.
thats like another 06 gs300. haha

of course i didnt pay 14.5 though.

 

i cant see anywere in this post andthing to do with 14,500 dollars. i think realistically time and money i have 4k in it.

I use it everyday and it performs flawlessly

 

Did you end up doing the swap as well?

 

It would not be possible to use the ml+ by only changing the screen and nav ecu? Keep the Hu the same.

 

Reason I changed head unit because gives you mp3 player

 

Hi Benbuilt4u,
Got a question for you. Do you know if the connections at the back of GEN5 cd changer are the same as the GEN4? connections from the screen and from the car from the cd changer.

 

You can just switch the cd changer between gen4 and gen5
