I have a 2008 ES350 that came without the navigation system.

I am interesting in getting the Lexus factory navigation. Please advise if you have one available for the ES350.

P.S. Dealers say this cannot be done, but I have read otherwise.

I will look into this for you, Usually I can get the OEM nav.

The cars with factory nav have totaly different radio and air cond controls i would also guess
the dash wireing would be different too. I think you will find it would cost more than its worth
if you could find someone to do it.

I thought you may want to know that you can save yourself a cool $1,000 or more by opting for a Garmin Nuvi: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/compare.do?comp...compare=compare

Also, if you are not already aware, Lexus has been offering some owners a $500 service rebate due to the fact that the NAV system's touch screen is basically inoperable while driving. Meaning, you can NOT use the touch screen to program in a POI or address. There are several posts on this site about the inefficiencies of the Lexus NAV system and the lack of response from customers concerns.

Best of luck to you

please let me know if this can be done as well on my 08 thanks!

I have a Verizon Blackberry 8830 phone, and have the latest VZ Navigator on it. Any VCast phone will do the same.

Provides turn by turn directions, and now even has built in traffic delays as well. You can also select a detour.

If a call comes in, it suspends the GPS. When you hang up, it goes right back.

Cost = $9.95 per month.

Do you have the plug-and-play harnesses for the Navigation sysyem? I bought the Navigation system and it does not come with any harnesses. Let me know. Thanks, Brian. my email ID is: buuly@yahoo.com

I am just in search of the disc V7 or 8

Could you send me some info on doing this on a 09 es350. I already have the nav unit, I just need the wiring to hook it up. My email is bonar972001@yahoo.com Thanks

The problem with this is that the harness that you may buy might not work with the nav you have, You see , All navs /components are bench tested before I ship. You can do the math.

How much for a complete setup from you, or can I send you my nav unit and have you check it out.

Thanks,
Travis

DC I would like to also see if you could give me a price for a complete system for a 2007 es350. I won a bid on ebay motors for a unit but it ended up being only the display console. From the research that I have done I still need to have the ECU and the antenna. The guy does not have the complete system I will have to back out of the sale. One more question would you recommend that shark fin antenna for the GPS. New to this forum and first Lexus that I have owned recently purchased. TIA

The shark fin antenna is for the satellite radio. There is no visible antenna for the GPS, the OEM GPS, that is.

Thanks for the info on the shark fin. I did see one from Hong Kong on ebay that said it was for GPS but I do not have much confidence rigt now with ebay equiptment for my Lexus. Anyone know if DC is still active on the board? Did anyone on this thread get a GPS system from him in the past? Glad that I found this place looks like alot of information can be gained here.

Dc just sent you a rspeonse to PM

Got it Yeah, I just got back from vacation. I'll be around on my usual daily routine.

hi dcfish, was thinking of buying an '08 es350 without nav, can i put an OEM one in? also, will the backup cam work if i get the backup cam installed. I would prefer all OEM stuff.
