Anyone know if its possible to custom install a oem nav assuming I can find one with the matching dash/knobs? How difficult do u think thismight be

Based on some feedback, the factory system may not be the best choice, unless, you want the "factory" look.

There are some very good after market systems out there. But, the 4runner applications are slow to market. I'd get an interim nav system and see what happens in about 12 months. There should be some great products hitting the market.

I asked the dealer to install the eom Nav on mine when I bought it and they said can't do it. but they can do after market one.

i tried the pioneer aftermarket unit but decided to pull it out... I may end up going back to it since i really dont have any other choice. Im hoping Rosen Entertainment might make one soon for the new 4runners. Rosen Mobile Video Entertainment Systems They look pretty nice!

Here's a pic of my Pioneer before it was removed...

Why did you take it out?

I told the dealer to take it out because he had promised us that it would be "almost impossible to tell that out was after market. He showed us a camry with a rosen dvd installed and said it would be similar. If I knew out was going to look like this.. I could have done it myself via crutchfield.
