silkoccy Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 Is there any thruth to a statement that I read on another lexus forum that says that it is possible to watch dvd movies from the lexus nav screen, the customer needs only to go to the lexus the dealer have a a chip put in the sysytem and then the owner of the car can add a dvd sofware which will enable him/her to wach dvd on the Nav screen?
Rodders Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 No - this is not true. It can be done, but it's not a Lexus option and it is quite complicated.
silkoccy Posted May 6, 2003 Author Posted May 6, 2003 To Rodders:aka lexus Guru I know you said that to modify the gs navv screen to play dvd's is quite complicated, but can you tell me what can be done on my part to modify the Nav so I can watch dvd on the screen, I will be taking delivery of the GS in the next few days or so? Thanks
Rodders Posted May 6, 2003 Posted May 6, 2003 I can't help I'm afraid, as I have never done it myself. I'm sure that one of our members that has done this mod will be along soon :D
gslx4s Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 Is there any thruth to a statement that I read on another lexus forum that says that it is possible to watch dvd movies from the lexus nav screen, the customer needs only to go to the lexus the dealer have a a chip put in the sysytem and then the owner of the car can add a dvd sofware which will enable him/her to wach dvd on the Nav screen? The dealer would never touch an issue like this. there are too many legal issues behind it. I am not saying i would not want to do this myself. that being said, i have a link for you to check out. This link is for the LX 470, but you could look into it more to find out if the wires would be the same. Keep me posted on this, i would like to see how it works for. Good Luck. http://forums.vmag.com/suvlc0199/messages/2488.html

This site offer porduct that you could use your factory NAV screen as a viewing screen as well. I can not say hoe it works, this site was sujested by another L.O.C. member on an issue with an IS300. Hope it helps.

Thanks ] They easiest way to go is to try this place called NAV-TV they also have an adpater that will work with the Lexus and it may be quicker to get, but you the part for the GS is a dealer item, so you will have to call them and they will tell you where the nearest NAV-TV dealer in your city is located. this piece is an adapter only and it will work witr any tv tuner or dvd player which I like since I already have an Alpint tv tuner myself.

Steve@Lextasy.com Posted June 16, 2003 Posted June 16, 2003 The one from Video-Nav requires a TV tuner. They usually use the GEX-P700TV.( I have one if you need it). The one we sell include the Tuner.

LfeStylez Posted December 17, 2003 Posted December 17, 2003 Why do those Nav/TV override kits cost a sh*tload of money? I understand that it's nicely integrated, but for over half of the price you can get a top of the line mobile DVD player with much more option flexibilities (No TV capability though). Also, if you mess around with the NAV system I'm assuming the warranty is voided for any problems related to it. If you've done this and works for you, that's great. Am I the only one that think it's not worth the price for it? It just feels like a big rip off to pay over 1G for something like this (from what I remember the option for the backseat DVD system in my 2004 GX was about 1G too - screen included!)

Steve@Lextasy.com Posted March 19, 2004 Posted March 19, 2004 Price dropped to $499 http://www.lextasy.com/nav_converter_1160_prd1.htm
