Hi - just joined the forum so please bare with me.
I read with interest some conversations – before I had time to register, about the dvd screen on one your sc430’s and I am interested to know what happens to the sat nav while a movie is playing? Is the dvd player a separate unit or does it utilise the sat-nav dvd system? I have two small kids who are happy to sit in the rear seats for short trips and bought a portable dvd player that fits behind the head rest. £199 – bargin. It would be good however if I could utilise its aux output to provide a picture on the sat nave screen. The player is both Ntsc and pal.
Also Does anyone know if the sat-nav system can be updated i.e. for post codes, newer map details etc and what about fitting of a rear view camera etc. Although I aim to replace the car next yea it would be useful to up-date the navigation system.
My only other comment is to the Boxster or Series 3 fans. Why are you posting views on a Lexus site? Is it because for all the discriminatory press, the fact remains that the sc430 still holds a unique position in the market place and that driving a sc430 is more about enjoying an un-paralleled relaxed driving experience. I also look forward to the new cars to come from Lexus but I hope they do not pander to the Audi Loving, Merc slobbering, BMW screaming rubber burners and keep to their individuality of sprit and design.
