I don't know whether the factory DVD navigation system can play DVD movies or not. But the reason it's called DVD is because the medium used to store the navigation data is on a DVD disc.

Thats exactly why. The medium that is used to store the nav. data is in DVD format and uses a DVD processor, but it will not play DVD's. Sounds dumb, but trust me I have the alpine DVD navigation, and that doesnt play DVD's. The 2002 factory NAV will not even be able to be used as the monitor for any other video sources, as of yet. Some companies make conversion kits. I know they have one out for the Acura NAV so you can use it for other video sources, but nothing is out for the IS, and it would be something you would have to get aftermarket nothing Lexus is gonna offer.
i sure do hope someone makes an adapter for tha lexusNAV too! Lexus should keep that option available for people who want to use tha monitor for videos/DVD movies. i mean, who uses tha navigation system that much NEwayz! seems like a waste of monitor to me...
I think they do play dvd's because i was watching belly in my friend's lx470. The dvd player will only work if you have the parking brake up, but he had that removed, so we can watch dvd's all the time.
Does anyone know anymore about the LCD on the Nav unit, can it take other input's rather than the Nav?? I really don't know much anout the Nav unit in general, and of course most links in this subject are fairly old..

Hey guys and gals,

I'm looking to buy another master key with the transmitter included. Ebay seems to only sell keys without the electronics/transmitter. I'm also looking to buy the real deal (OEM), not any aftermarket keys. Does anyone know where I can buy them? I'm looking at this option first before going to my...

I'm having an issue with my gearbox and wondering if someone could help.
After about 40 mins of normal driving gear changes become difficult sometimes so difficult i can't even get into first or reverse...
Okay so I just had a mechanic install an HKS Dragger II exhaust that was brand new (I initially was going to do it myself but was persuaded otherwise) on my 2001 IS300 and am hearing what sounds like a tin can rattling behind my car between the speeds of 5 and 15 mph only while I am coasting...
