I was looking around ebay and found this guy selling a TV/DVD tuner for our factory navigation system. I was wondering how valid this product. I've seen the Vllad ones (sp?) and it looks no where near what this guy is selling. His tuner looks like a circuit board enclosed in a little rubbermaid container. What do you guys think? Just go on ebay and search Lexus GS Navigation TV-Tuner.

 

I would not trust that one bit.

and this one. hope this will help.https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...threadid=99933

 

I purchased that exact unit direct from the seller as he is located near my house.The picture that you posted is only the rgb conversion , he also includes a separate tv tuner with the kit.I just installed it today in my car and it works fine.

 

How much is for everything?not install.

 

I paid $295 for the nav/tv module and tv tuner/av controller with 3 inputs 2 outputs and all nessasary wires.

 

Thats a very good price.

 

i dont know, but that thing loooks reaaaalllyyy cheap and cheesy compared to other units as well as other DIY's.

 

well I looked around for a while before I purchased this unit , I saw vlads great looking black box but was turned off by the $300 price just for the box then having to pay for the tuner/controller seperately.The added bonus to buying this system for me was the fact that I got a chance to meet the maker of this device and see it installed in his gs 300.Then I was able to purchase it directly from him cash in his hand product in mine!! He told me that he is working on a better looking box than that tupperware looking garbage he sold me , but since the unit is hidden when I installed it anyway it really didn't matter.He actually runs a business that repairs toyota factory electronics , and I was able to visit his commercial space to see for myself what kind of a technician he is.I will try to post pics this week of my install as reference to this product.Anyway I feel that it is a pretty good deal for what you get for the money and it was pretty easy for me to install , you just have to live with the fact that you have a tupperware rgb conversion unit and a cheap tuner/controller but other than that they both work fine in my car and are hidden from sight.


hope this helps
