Put me on the list ( mainly depends on price and how many people want it also)

1) smokyis350 (analog/digital)?
OK, you need digital interface

if you have mark levinson you will need a DVD player with digital coaxial output, and a simple mod for audio. Cars without mark levinson 100% plug and play no navi hack required. Only 2006 GS will require navi hack 2007-up all lexus models are video-in-motion enabled so you can use video and nav at the same time. DISC button is only used to go to AV input of NavTool interface

You can continue to use OEM DVD changer just same as before not in motion, butat the same time our interface will give you picture on your nav screen in motion from video source that you will connect to NavTool interface.

Interface will work for both ML and non ML cars, if you have ML you will only need to do a small modification for sound and you will require either dvd player with digital coaxial output, or audio conveter that converts analog audio to digital they can be purchased for as little as 50-75 usd

Thank you

how difficult will it be to install this? so where would you recommend installing the dvd player at? Glovebox, under the seat, trunk? Do you have actual pictures of this?

the glove boxes are perfect in our cars for this. Its really preference on where to mount it. IMO the glove box is the best so you have access to it. Plus its closet to run the wires and also run them behind and hide them for a nice custom install

This is going to sell like hot cakes on here

If you dont have ML it's 100% plug and play including power and ground connections, all you need is a video source of your choice,picture of actual unit are found on navtool.com under lexus

Thank You

I'm still not clear between digital and analog versions....is it mainly the digital version has audio input and analog does not?

In other words, if we bought your analog version, we will need to hook the audio output of the external DVD player to the car's AUX audio connector?

I don't know if this is against the rule but wouldn't more people see this ad if you post on the regular forum and get this going?
