Hey verly6565. I updated my post in the other thread. Here's the link, eBay. I think they also do business as Espony-cargo.com. The only reason I say that is because of the Thank you note from them.

I've tried $467 that someone was advertising on aliexpress. That didn't go so I went straight to $550. I should have tried $500. lol. Just a heads up, it'll take a month.

I should have something by Saturday evening. I'm going to play around with all the menus and settings before I make a video.

MX73, thanks for all the info. Got some questions on the unit. Is the voice quality the same as the oem unit or worst on a phone call, does it use the same oem microphone? Can you still use the steering wheel control to answer and end calls and change tracks and volume? Can you enter addresses while car in in motion?

thanks again

Does anyone know if there are any issues with using this with the NAV with ML stereo? I just bought an '06 GS300 for a commuter and this would be the perfect touch.

.....also, with this addition, can you hear phone calls through all of the speakers? I just bought this car and it surprised me that I can only hear the voice phone call through the front left speaker. I am always having to ask them what they are saying.

Look like someone has one installed in-place of the ML unit. https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...l#post10169888

MX73, would you buy this unit again if you had it to do all over again? I'm looking at this one. Is it the same thing, just a different site?

I think the IS unit looks more factory than the GS unit.

Someone really needs to post the smaller unit with the two *****. I think that's the better of the two. This here is the 1st unit that came out, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Vertical-screen-12-1-inch-Android-6-0-Car-DVD-GPS-for-LEXUS-GS300-GS450-GS460/32890482021.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000014.3.23cd466bUPSMnZ&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreOtherSeller&scm=1007.13338.119091.0&scm_id=1007.13338.119091.0&scm-url=1007.13338.119091.0&pvid=94437f28-7854-41b5-a445-0cae1398444e

IMO option, the GS is the black sheep of the Lexus lineup. Very little aftermarket support for the 3rd Gen.
