Because the navigation unit in the trunk was four personal PCs big and was made of a bunch of atari's soldered together. I'm surprised they had maps for Japan. I'm surprised accelerometers actually guided people places.

All that electronic wizardy that sits on the twin black rails in the picture in this post JDM FULL Navigation System and Trim/Console...HELP! now fits into a piece of shitty plastic called a cell phone....

The reality is the legend is 15 years old.......I'm not sitting here on a twin floppy XT pc x86 running stacker surfing the internet and downloading at 16mb per sec

Times change guys........ its called progress! Forget the Jap navi dream and get some sleep...cos it just aint going to happen

From the research that I've done, I think that the Farenheit LCD mentioned here is a non-touch screen model. Can anyone confirm that?

I'm wanting to put a CarPC in my Legend, so I'll need to opt for a touch-screen model. Take a look at the Xenarc or Lilliput over at the mp3car.com store. There's lots of selections there and I think a 7" may actually fit, but I'm just speculating at this point.

Correct, it is not a touch screen. I have yet to stumble upon any touch screens that will fit the bezel though. Most touch screens are 7" and have a good bit of framing around the actual screen. My 6.5" farenheit fits perfectly vertically. It actually fits so perfectly, I don't have the screen secured in any way at all. Its wedged in there all by itself and it has yet to even budge.

I'm considering putting in a pionner N2(a flip up navi). My brother is willing to give it to me the only issue being it may need a new motor which is small potatoes as opposed to getting the unit $500 new. I'd keep the radio screen in except to input driving directions on the touch screen. Still not sure though. I'm thinkin about it. Much cheaper than a carputer.

Interesting for sure. Thanks for that bit of info. Looks like a 6.5" touchscreen will be the ticket for me, if I can turn one up. Thanks!

I see the models your talking about. I don't think they'll fit. They're beefier. Keep checking ebay and google the unit. Its around.
