Factory NAV question
Is there any type of way I could swap factory navigation systems out, or should I just buy an aftermarket on in place of the factory one? Im kinda not feeling the whole gooby-lookin fat-tom-tom on my dash or window.
Where would you guys suggest putting a tom tom or garmin?

Anyone know any more info about retro fitting an OEM nav into a NON OEM nav car? Reason I ask is because I'm about to buy an OEM navigation system (It is actually just the LCD screen, radio, hardware, and a special wire harness that supposed to be custome made so it will all be plug and play. The nav part itself wont work since I'm in Hawaii and no maps, but supposedly the LCD screen will control and display everything else like the AC, radio and such.
How much should I be paying for something like this? The only think I know is it has the complete LCD screen and radio so it will just bolt right in, plus what looks like the brain ECU unit, and a bunch of wire harnesses. I might pick it up this weeked. I mostly want to see if it will all work. If it does work, possibly I might buy a Viastech AUX A/V unit to work with the monitor.

ask any 2GS guy about retro-ing OEM nav. and you'l see what im talking about.
additionally, last i checked Vaistech doesnt make a damned thing for pre 01 Lexus vehicles.

Now that was hell of an upgrade. Too bad it wont work with the LS... althought someone was able to adapt a gen2/3 ECU to the 98-00 navi systems, but it didint look good at all.
