New Owner 03 Is300

[Brister786]

Hello everyone, I'm new, as many people recently seem to be here on this forum. Just got myself my dream car, 03 IS300 manual, only took 3 months to find the one I wanted. I was actually curious if anyone had any information on two separate things. First being if anyone has ever put a short shifter kit on there IS. Its weird to me to have such a high stick, but before doing it I wanted some opinions on which way to go. Secondly if anyone has put in a in dash Navigation system? Any recommendations or things not to do would be appreciated. Get back to me.

Welcome to the LOC!

For the in dash nav install, several of us have used the Avic D3 or Z2. Both a very nice indash units with lots of options. If you want to see what it looks like, try going to the Modifying an IS 300 Chronicles of a Dream Ride thread. It's a sticky at the top of this forum. I put one in my IS and I thought it was great.

As for the short shifter, Carson has one available. I just put one in a Supra, and that came out really nice. But I haven't done one in an IS 300 yet.

I dont see the sticky you are talking about, I see the wood dash kits that comes up, but thats not what I'm looking for. I'm actually just looking for the TV/Navigation system, not the parts for around the system, sorry for the misunderstanding. If you can give me a link to it or something of the sort it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

No new info here but I test drove an 03 IS 300 Automatic yesterday and they are quite a cool little car. Emphasis on little. Very nice, fun and modern. I see why you guys enjoy them so much.
