Sourcing the parts required and the cost of doing so make this an upgrade only for those wanting to keep the car long term. You'd be better off with a £100 Tom Tom. The Sat Nav on the Lexus isn't that great (like most OEM kits).

In fact why not check out the prices to do the job, then look at swapping your car for one with it already installed. My guess is there won't be much difference in price to change and you'd get lots more goodies too.
