Looking for a 2016-2018 rx350. I see them with 8" and 12" displays. In the pictures, the 12" is wider but it seems to be not as tall. Maybe not? Wonder pros and cons. Also, how good is built in Lexus navigation? Do I have to pay a fee or is it just available in the car with no monthly or yearly fee. I have a Garmin unit that I am very happy with. Lifetime maps and traffic for less than $200. I love my Garmin lady. Unfortunately, it sticks to the windshield and I have to run a wire to the outlet. Unsightly.

definitely get the 12 if you can.

From what I recall, it’s the same height. 8” is inside the same external enclosure but not fully utilizing the entire width. Go with the 12” if you’re able to have that option.

Found this on Google, don't know which models and years it applies to:
