06 Gs300 Rear Camera & Nav


Recommended Posts

I have an 06 GS300 AWD without Nav.

While installing a rear spoiler & XM radio I had the entire trunk taken apart and noticed the camera was factory installed and wired.

Is there a way to get it to work?

Also, is there anyway to get factory NAV installed as an upgrade or replace the unit?

Thanks!

I have not had it done but I am certain you can have the Navigation system installed by a Lexus dealership, and the Camera, I believe would be a simple connection. I know on on aftermarket Navs you only require an interface for the nav which will aloow you to add all kinds of functions like use the screen for dvd's, backup cameras, etc.

if you have the camera and wiring installed, its as simple as taking it to your local car audio store. preferably a famoous one such as all and ed's auto sound ( a mom and pop shop may not know how to do it) all you'd need is an LCD screen, and they'd have it working in no time.

if your willing to spend big bucks, around 2k, you can get the top of the line after market nav, go with pioneer. it hooks up to your cars ECU (i think) and minitors performance such as 0-60. it also has DVD MP3 and, ofcourse, NAV built in. the only problem with after market systems are when ur destination is pretty far, u need 2 swap discs. (thats a pain) but the pioneer lets u do everything, and more, than the factory lexus NAV. you should be able to hook up your camera to it. it is more bang for the buck but it will not look as nice as the in-console NAV. it folds out of the cd-tray. tell us what you think :)
