Installing A Navigation System

[Pauly Ballz]

I purchased a 2008 RX 350 without a navigation system and now I regret it. Is there anyway a navigation system can be installed now?

There is always a way but you must have a really fat wallet to get it done, It would be easier to get a different RX.

Opinions will certainly vary but my wife and I do not think you really lost out on anything. A good Garmin unit (like our 2710 Street Pilots) will provide significantly more functionality, be much easier to use, and cost much less than $2600. The Lexus system has the advantage of being built in and the large screen has the potential to be a big plus. However, much of the advantage of the larger screen is negated due to lack of local street detail unless zoomed in to just your immediate local area. Ironically, because of this, the smaller Garmin map view provides much more useful information. The Garmin is fully functional at all times, the Lexus system is mostly crippled once underway. We typically have the Garmin sitting on top of the dash as it allows my wife to find restaurants, hotels, and rest stops without having to stop the car. Just our opinion but don't waste your money.

How about adding an after-market navigation system with all the bells and whistles into a 2008 RX 350? Anyone have any suggestions on what to buy and where to install?
