Putting Navi In A Non-Navi Lexus.

Since I like shiny OEM stuff and so do others (as I've read here), I looked up a IS200 with Navigation installed.I have a 2004 LHD IS200 and I found a RHD 1999 IS200 at a local junkyard.I thought I could install navigation as a gadget (pops up when you start the car and what not), so I came to ask you guys.

How easy is it to replace the original dash center with the one with navigation and would it just plug in?Would I have to sacrifice my newer stereo for the older one (navi cd's/dvd's)?

I bet Estonia is blank on the Lexus navi discs even if I could even get my hands on such a relic, so first it would just be a gadget but it sure would be nice if it could display anything more than a blank screen.Putting in a TomTom would be a future project.

You can retrofit the Satnav, the wires run right through the car. you have to put the tomtom or similar into the unit.

It's very difficult to install the factory navigation as it involves changing the wiring loom - just get the motorised housing and put an aftermarket screen/satnav in it, that gives you more options anyway :)

Thank you very much!I'll look into it.

How to wire the motorised housing?

You just need a live, earth and switched live so you can use the stereo wiring.
