Using a phone while driving is a bit dangerous, at least for me. No offense. Navigation system helps while driving and lets you know well in time just before any turn needs to be taken. I agree that backup system is helpful but some people are you know expert in driving and doesn't seek help of backup camera. This might be the case with sbkim.
I think he wants to confirm whether it is available or not. I got this navigation system for about $450 without the backup system from tadibrothers.com. They had only two such cameras which are available without the backup camera. So, I think the answer is that it is possible. But from lexus it is not.

I am using the phone while my husband drives. I am the one using the NAV system while hubby drives (I want him to concentrate on driving). When I drive, I don't even listen to music so that I can concentrate on driving. And no, I am not an expert driver which is why I have only taken this vehicle out twice on a Sunday morning since we bought it.

Oh! then it's fine. Sorry I thought it was you that was using while driving. Because that is a complete no no. This sounds perfectly fine that your hubby rides the car.

True, it is illegal to use a cell phone (talk or text) while driving in CA. Hand's free devices are ok though.
