I am about to purchase an RX . Cant find one with a nav and low miles so i was wondering if you can go to the factory and get a navigation system installed? what prices am i looking at?

I read on another thread that this could not be done.

I agree with the comment above - it would take quite a bit of effort to get a "factory" NAV system installed in the RX330. I bet it would cost more in parts & installation costs than it may be worth, if even possible.

The only other idea might be one of those "portable" GPS NAV systems, like the newer units from Garmin. The StreetPilot III looks interesting, but I've never used one so I can't really comment confidently.

I have a Garmin portable unit that I use in my FX45 (wife's RX330 has factory Nav) and I really like it. Very accurate mapping, and I like the way you can do routing for trips on your computer and transfer information to the unit, so everything is configured before you leave. And of course since it's portable, you can also use it when boating, biking or hiking and you can take it from car-to-car, including on trips when you are renting a different vehicle. Downsides are that it's not built in so it doesn't look as cool and the processing speed is a bit slower when doing auto re-routing.
