Default No NAV to OEM Nav in RX300?

Is it possible to retrofit a 2000 RX with the 2001 RX Navigation? From my understanding the whole center thing can be removed, if you can do that can't you just replace it with the Nav unit? Has anyone done this? If so what is the part number for the Nav unit?

You will need Nav screen, Nav ECU, GPS antenna and I don't know the wire harness is there or not. A lot of money and time. I know the Nav ECU is around $5,000+ brand new( touch screen) and Antenna is around $1,200.00
Letsride did this mod on the GS and he got lucky to find these parts from the junk yard. But keep in mind that the RX with Nav is very rare,so it will hard to find from the junk yard.

Yeah, I heard he did that, I read that a while back but can't find his post. From what I remember he had a part finding company find it for him. Is there any contact info for that part finding company?
