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

[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.

Hi,

I have tried an avensis sat nav box (pre 2003 cd based) with an ancient nav disc to get a blank screen in my car so don't think that works. Maybe because of the older disc nothing came up on the screen

The 2003 onwards avensis sat nav system is dvd rom
