Lexus Satnav

[wagonist]

As the title says, I'm curious to find out if the factory SatNav system can be retrofitted into an IS200 or IS300 that didn't leave the dealer with it.

Is it a plug in fit, or is that simply too difficult?

It has been done, but you have to change the loom, take the dash, seats, and just about everything else out.

Dealer will tell you not to bother.

Taking bits out doesn't worry me too much.

But any idea how much of the loom needs to be changed? The entire car, just the dash, ...

I'm guessing the parts would be more than the £2000 price difference to buy one with it already, & then of course finding the parts

Agreed. It's ferociously complicated. You'd do better to get a double din dash mount and pop a screen in the dash instead. You'd more than halve the cost of getting a retrofit Lexus one and save yourself a small fortune in paracetamol from the headache it would give you.
