There's a 5" motorised lexus nav housing on eBay at the moment.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/LEXUS-IS200-GPS-NA...95&afsrc=1

However I'd be very cautious about buying this, it looks a lot like the one they removed for me 6 months ago. And it was scratched to pieces on the back, and they bent the metal under panel too, which you can see if you look through the left heater vent in the picture...

I was so shocked by the quality of it that I sent it back and got a full refund.

I find you can't really comment on the price of an auction that is only half way though. It could go for 4 or 5 times that amount in the next 3 days!

I've got half an eye out for one of these, though I'd prefer the bigger one.

I wander how that happened? Wink Wink

When I bought it originally, I had seen it on one of their spare parts cars online. Phoned them up and they said I could have it for £100! So I snapped it up, however even though I ended up paying over £200 for the 7" one I have now I would not have chosen to waste £100 on that one if I'd known.

And I don't think it even comes with the cover for the screws! So it will be sat there with a great big rectangular hole in it. Sad

I've just found the email I sent them when I originally bought it, and now I remember why I was so pi55ed off...

I sent them this exact picture and said "Is this what I will be getting?"

[Image: cid_image001_png01CB50BE.png]

To which they replied "Yes, £100+VAT"

Which is why when this turned up...

I was rather annoyed. :Shooting:

I may have slightly misunderstood the original post after reading it quickly.

I had a little punt, but I'm not winning, and won't be bidding again.

Looking at the history, it seems theres two guys battling it out for it, hopefully they are members of OJC or...the other one with an O and C in the name. And they see my post.
