i will add the write up to the ML DYI that i started.


BTW, the navtool was $190 brand new and the camera was $50, there are 100s of cameras on ebay for under $25 but i got that one because it looked like the best fit and size for my LS, also it required the least ammount of light to work in the dark

EDIT: writeup will follow as soon as i get the stuff, which will be in 3-30 days lol
It said $350 on the site. Where did you get the Nav Tool and Camera? For $240.00 I'm tackling this modification.

"$350 on the site", your mistake #1. always expect to pay double from company site.. no matter what it is.

ebay. $190 NIB.

I use a Pioneer AVIC-Z2 for my entertainment system and the Pioneer option back up camera fit nicely and works great. Nice wide angle view from edge to edge. Now I can back up into parking spaces and get right up to the end of the slot so I don't have to risk smashing my Ings LX-Sport lip spoiler at the front.

Very nice Unit, sir.

You don't have the original NAV, do you?

No, I opted to not get the Lexus OEM navigation because of this. There is not a neat way to extensively customize the OEM navigation equipped AV system, so I got one without it.

Hey Roman, did you ever install the backup camera? If so, I'd love to know how to do it.

Default Camera and Parking sensors
Does anyone know if you install the rear camera, does it completely override the current parking sensors?
Can you still hear the beep?
Can you switch from camera to car image on the screen while in reverse?
Is it possible to have a split screen or something?

Thanks
