Thanks, how do I find out about getting these options fitted? Are they self or dealer fit? It’s very much the dvd/digital tv ability that interests me the most. The stereo is already one of the best features of this car. I make my own compilations on cd with iTunes so I can live without mp3. But tell me,- if the screen is say showing tv does this disable the Sat-Nav? Re the Sat-Nav up-dates. I would have thought that it was in Lexus’s interest to up-date the systems for free certainly within the warranty period as surly it would help to keep residuals higher. If I decide to go for another Sc I will negotiate hard on this point as its only software on a dvd disc.

Thanks. Hacking into the wiring sounds complicated or is there easy access? and the up-grade seems a bit expensive.

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.
