Diy Project: Oem Widescreen Satnav In A Non-nav Gs

[eXOBeX]

I've finally got round to finishing a project to install a widescreen OEM navigation system in my non-nav GS300. Parts, pinouts and photos are at www.ult-search.co.uk/gsnav/. Enjoy!

Not as bad as it looks, once you get your head around the official wiring diagrams for the car.

Actually it's the second time I've fitted it. First time round I couldn't get the aircon to work (no gateway ECU) so left it with the old radio but the cables still in place. Then the car got pranged and was threatened with being written off so I chopped the plugs off and left the cables behind. Then the car got fixed after all but the cables I'd chopped the plugs off were now too short!

Finally got hold of a gateway ECU (from the States) a few weeks back and got cracking. Done in a weekend.

Yep! That's stage one done (although I've still got to make a bracket for mounting the nav computer). Just two or three bits short for the next job now there's a screen in the car. And no it's not a carputer or DVD...
