This is the best way to add front and rear cameras to your LS, convert the Nav screen to a video screen and add two rear monitors and a DVD player.
See this link: http://www.avelectronic.com/NavigationVid-Switcher.htm
1) Have your installer install the switcher.
2) Plug in your two rear monitors (headrest).
3) Install your back up camera amd front grill camera.
4) Put a 12v Playstation II in the arm rest console and wire to the video switcher.
5) Install TV antenna under rear deck lid in trunk.
It works like this: the NAV screen works as usual as does the radio and all the controls. If you put the car in reverse it displays the rear camera picture on the NAV screen. Put the car in drive and it switches back to NAV screen.
If you use the wireless RF remote and hit "1" it puts the signal from the play station on the NAV monitor. If you press "2" it puts the play station signal on all three monitors. If you press "3" it plays the TV on all 3 monitors! The Play station can play DVD's or games...as everyone knows.
The amazing thing about this switcher....you can put a different signal on every monitor!! I can play the TV tuner on one rear monitor, the DVD signal on the other and the NAV map on the front monitor, or put the front and rear camera image on any monitor!
The switcher comes with a "FORDlink" cable and a cable that requires +/- 12volts and a wire to the reverse lights circuit! Its the easiest way to do all this in one shot and its fully programable.
It also has audio inputs (ipod, etc).
I got the rear camera in the liscence plate frame.
The unit is $600 with the built in TV tuner!
I'll post pictures soon.
