Anyone Tried Fitting A Dvd Satnav Unit Into The Ls400? Looks Possible

[Luke Jones]

I have read up on previous forum information stating that the LS400 uses Gen 1 Satnav, CD based. This limits what the system can store (postcodes etc). I looked at prices for updated CD based discs, £120 ish, then thought to look and see if a DVD based nav brain would fit instead. What do you guys think, here are two ebay items, one shows a LS400 unit, the other from an avensis which if i understand correctly only came with DVD nav, being a Gen2 satnav.

the units have different part numbers as i'd expect but seem to share identical connectors. I guess touch screen could be an issue there, so perhaps a 2001 GS300 gen 2 dvd satnav would be a better choice.

If you take it to a pro audio guy, anything is possible.
