alright...then why does the factory wiring diagram for the ml edition on page 544 of the service manual not show any pins assignments for pin 2, 3, and 6?

if the wire is there then there must be a diagram for it, i would think at least.

can anyone with a ml edition post a detailed pic of the back of the nav unit with the j52 plugged in? PLEASE!!!!

this plug is the same on all current models lexus for the navi, if you look back at page 15 of this thread and look at the 2nd pdf spotnsabby uploaded you will see that the plug is there also, it is label M3 of the Multi function display for the rx350 the pin outs are the same
pin#1 is ntsc dvd signal
pin #2 nothing
[B]pin#3 avc-lan communication signal
pin#4 signal ground
pin#5 shielded body ground
pin#6 avc-lan communication signal

I know they are the same because nav-tv unit is compatable with all 2006 models lexus RX, GS, IS, ect,

What we need to do is figure what this avc-lan signal is, and how to make a circuit to produce the same, I don't know why it is not on the IS250 wiring diagram but I am very sure it is there

hopefully we will not need the cable.

most of the car connectors are made by AMP.

i am going to try and get my hands on this connector once i get it from car lost...and then i can make an order from amp and then we can all just make this cable at home...

of course that is if it works..
