I hope you know that Navi system probably isn't going to work state-side. I've read about folks from Oz buying "grey market" cars from Japan and they say that the Navi doesn't work, it only picks up signals for Japan or something.

lol, you're welcome. If you want in dash navigation, Eclipse makes a double din navi unit kinda like the toyota one. I'm sure there are some other quality brands that make similar units.

As for the other goodies, I imagine they ought to work.

Actually if you want the bB Navi, why don't you get the '04 Camry Navigation unit. The head unit has the Nav ECU built into it and it's virtually plug and play. Granted, you will need the Toyota JBL amp for the wire harnesses to hook up but if you want to go with the JDM look, I think this is probably the closest that you're going to get.

Granted all the aftermarket units have more features then the OEM toyota one but I'm getting the OEM one for 3 reasons. One, it doesn't have the gaps on the side where you need to find some ABS plastic to cover it up. Two, it doesn't say "steal me". And, Three, I'm getting a pretty good deal on it. I'm getting one in a couple days to install in my wife's xB. If you had a chance to play with the OEM toyota Nav's, they are pretty nice compared to the rest of the manufacturer's Nav units. The only one I would say best's it, is the Honda/Alpine Navigation unit.

I've been to that store. South-yokohama. It's a store a guy runs out of his garage. I might go there on Friday. PM me and I'll pick you something up.

BILLET WIPERS!

I've been waiting for those damn things to show up. Just yesterday I was cross checking wiper arm shapes and sizes for an interchangable peice. He's got them listed for about $257.00

There are a number of things on there that would be nice. One could get in a lot of trouble though flipping through bB accessory catalogs.

Parts for bB are expensive because not too many places make them any more. bB is dead in Japan.
