Hi QLer friends,

I am planning to buy new Land Cruiser basic model. My budget is 170

Ofcourse your opinion is must.

This base model doesnt have any luxury or necessary items, i have a question to guys who have knowlegdge on Land Cruiser accessories.

Can i fix the following in the car.

Multimedia Navigation System with Touchscreen Monitor, BlueTooth compatible with iPhone 5. Hi end Music system (woofers, source). Rear Parking camera, DVD system for back seats.

Is it possible. Or should i change my choice from Land Cruiser to some car that has all these options built in.

I am prefering land cruiser for many obvious reasons.

Kindly suggest

yes do not go at all to the shops near crazy signal..overpriced, low quality and mostly clueless technicians..do not let them near your wiring and electrical/electronic systems..buy your equipment and then let one of the more skilled places do it for you

sound system with bluetooth and navigation touchsreen panel DVD in totall will cost you with labor charges around 10000 . Go to Pioneer showroom on Salwa Road beside Qtel.

Dont ruin your car by going to the accessory shop near crazy signal they arenot that professional in car electronic.

I would suggest a navigation system would be just about it in my opinion,The Land Cruiser G model looks best without the modifications.

Hi, I think buying the basic model of any car is wast of money, you will be board by the lack of features in the car & you will regret it since 170 QR could buy you a very nice fully loaded car.

The more features in a car the more you enjoy it.

Pimping your car (specially a new car) makes it look silly, and it will miss the interior coherence.

More important missing up with electrical wiring void the warranty, so don't do it.

You've just given me an idea.

go for it..nothing wrong with your plan..if you don't find something here, order online..or if you are that sort of guy, drive her to dubai and buy her all the gifts dubai has for a land cruiser..its your car, your baby..decking out your car with your own effort makes it truly your own:-)

Rally 2000/Shibani car detailing store on Khyber Street near Crazy Signals.

With 25K budget, you can easily upgrade your 'G' to GX-R.

Do bargain.

Richard Thanks for replying

Base model is 170 and top model is 300, i guess i can spend 25 (after buying for 170) and acheive these gadgets, provided these gadgets are avaialble in the market, hence this forum.

consider the price of all the gadgets that you want to install in your LC then compare it with the price of the LC that has already those gadgets.

Anything can be added to a vehicle at a price, you just need to check availability of the items you require and cost of instalation then make your own decision as to buy or not.

find out an 1 or 2 year old LC. There is high chance to get a full option LC/ Lex. Best of luck.
