NAVIGATION IN A 1ST GEN GS300
i searched and found nothing so i was wondering if lexus/toyota made any OEM or JDM navigation for the aristo. i would also like to know if its possible to put one in from the newer gs's and making it look OEM, has anyone done this?

Swapping in one from a 2GS is probably more trouble than it's worth since the dash is completely different anyway. My brother has a '94 GS3 that we're going to do a Nav unit in; we'll probably do one of the newer double-DIN Pioneer AVIC units and make a custom trim panel for it. I can't stand flip-out units in cars like this, they look so unfinished.
Supposedly there was a JDM trim panel kit for the 147 from Japan but I've never been able to find it. There is a trim kit/ISO-mount kit for the 161 chassis from Japan, which I have in my 161 GS; the color and texture are spot-on to the OE dash (of course, it's an OE Toyota Japan part!).
I may be able to retrofit ISO-mount brackets from another Toyota model vehicle to work in the 147, but I haven't yet had the dash apart to determine this. Either way, it looks like it'll need some kind of custom trim panel to match the rest of the dash. Bummer!

I contemplated doing the double din when I was in the market for dvd/navi/mp3, but opted for the pioneer avic n2 dvd/navi/mp3 which has a detachable face. When I used to daily the car, it made me feel alot better knowing I could detach the face and carry it with me. Just a thought.
The link that hahajoey posted looks very promising. The toyota navi.
As for the 1st gen not having a navigation, 93-97, not many cars had navi. Navigation didn't become popular till 2001 where it was a factory upgrade if I recall.
