so u were able to hook up the 6th gen system in your 2008? is it plug and play? so basically you have the black center panel with your grey air vents on top? does the nav traffic work?

sorry for all the questions but i am interested in if this actually works...

Thanks...

Apparently there is some confusion about the Forum Rules for Club Lexus - you all agreed to these rules when you joined (If you failed to read them you should definitely go there now and familiarize yourself with them). Specifically:

I've removed a few posts discussing navigation software piracy. Also - I work in information security and specialize in malware. I can tell you downloading anything from peer to peer networks has an 80% chance of the target software containing malware - the kind of stuff used to steal your banking and affinity account credentials or turn your home pc into a spam/DDoS bot. Think twice about getting something "free" because it very often comes with something not so free.

Although I do like the multimedia interface offered by the touchscreen, the navigation software is abysmal. I feel like I'm using a system from the 1990s. For example, when zoomed in, there is absolutely no detail - no street names, no streets, nothing. I always have to rely on my google maps to check where I am. And, the traffic info is atrocious as well. It only provides traffic for the major freeways. Why doesnt it show the major streets and avenues like google maps? Lexus should be ashamed of themselves for offering this system in its current form.
