[Dougiec1984]

Hi guys need advice urgent as poss. I've found Lexus is300h f sport but dosent come with sat nav and reversing camera. It also has the standard stereo system in. 

Can any of the above be retro fitted like sat nav or camera??? Also is the standard stereo system poor sound quality?? Thanks

Hello Alex and Welcome to LOC,

I am sure 7 inch screen and standard navigation was standard on all 3rd gen. Where Premium navigation and 8 Speakers system was optional, Revere camera are "not available" on F-Sport according to Lexus website. If you really going to feel difference between 6 or 8 speakers, or Premium vs. Non-premium Navigation or absence of reverse camera is really hard to tell. It is pretty much personal thing. One thing I am sure of retrofitting would be not viable option, either not possible, or so expensive that it makes no sense. There is hardly anything you can retrofit in 2nd. Gen without sacrificing both arms and kidney, I am sure it is even more difficult on 3rd. gen. That said - if you think that you will be missing this functionality - make sure you get the car with it - retrofiring in Lexus is not an option.

In other hand I personally find Lexus navigation being useless, that is applicable for IS250F-Sport 2012 and CT200h F-Sport 2016 with Premium Navigation, which I was lucky to use. I found simple google maps on the phone ages ahead in speed, accuracy and functionality... So again just pointing out - is built-in Sat/Nav is real a deal breaker?

My previous F-sport had a reverse camera. Premium navigation includes it.

Mine had it and so does the NX

Well according to Lexus website it doesn't and it is not explicitly clear that if you choose Premium Navigation it will have reverse camera.

But the point is - it cannot be retrofired in any reasonable way..

The reversing camera is standard on the Advance with the standard navigation. So it seems that the camera and premium nav may not always go together.

I believe they tend to omit reverse camera on F-Sports and it is a bit unclear on which combinations it was induced as it is not available as standalone option.

Configure the F-Sport and add an option, choose Premium Nav and under further information it says "Premium Nav & Reversing Camera"

Have another look.  Don`t confuse Sport with F-Sport as they have different options as does the Advance which has standard Nav with reversing camera as standard!
