Hi all!
So I purchased my car in February used lexus is 2008. One of my good friends is a lexus dealer so he looked up the factory specs for me. On the factory specs sheet it says lexus DVD navigation. Nothing about mark levinson sound system. Maybe I'm asking a stupid question but is the DVD referring to the navigation system or the fact that you are able to watch DVDs? Sorry I'm such a noob! Help a chick out

THANK YOU!

 

If you dont have ML then you cant play DVD Movies, they are talking about a hidden DVD slot thats behind the digital clock. You can remove that bit and gain access to replace the DVD that holds the nav data.

 

How would I know if I have the ML sound system!?

 

you would have a ML logo on the CD changer portion of your radio. If you do not have the logo you do not have the ML option.

 

I've seen people pop out their digital clock and pop in a DVD, does that work? Void warranty?

 

These two hit the nail on the head for your questions. I've updated my navigation maps to reflect a bridge that was built a few years back when I got my car.

 

Nope, that does not void the warranty at all. They're most likely putting in a DVD with updated navigation maps.

 

make sure you tape the panel before your pop the DVD out to prevent scratching.....

 

Can You explain about putting cd with map? Becouse I just bought screen console and Im just wonder how I can put dvd with map into this unit without having dvd player ( i have non navi IS)

 

The unit you purchased most likely uses an SD card for the Maps. The DVD option is for OEM navigation before Lexus made the switch to harddrives.

 

And where is located this slot?
This unit whitch i have

 

I'm curretly at work and your hosting site is blocked here. I'll take a look at it when I get home and tell you the location. However if it's anything like my Flyaudio unit it would behiend the "AV IN" which is a cover and should have a spot you can pull at with your finger nail.

 

Will be great, thanks
Edit: just checked and it looks that I have this cd option as this is oem unit and just seen video on youtube so I know now!
