i agree if the BT and movie can always be enabled that would be a great feature. however, i would never ever cut wires on a car like this, coz' one bad move and your warranty is all voided on the audio / electronics, and those stuff are almost too insane to "replace" myself.

plug and play is the only option i would go. if it's not of this unit, i would just leave my ls460l and gs350 stock.

another cosmetic advantage is the buttons i guess. they look far better than the other setup i have seen, with led and everything (this one is subjective of course)

oh and thanks for the pics, flipside i did the install for flipside and also think that's almost a perfect spot for the buttons. the ashtray is not affected at all, no modification to any of the panels, everything snap back in nicely.

I installed this unit yesterday and tested my it with both audio DVD's and video DVD's. The audio portion of the video DVD did cut out when the Navi button was pressed but did not cut out when playing audio DVD's.

Update:

I have tested the NAV override with the DVD function and here are my findings.

We already know that 1) Playing a regular DVD Video, audio will mute when doing NAVI override.

2) If playing a regular audio CD, the soundtrack will mute once you hit the NAVI override.

However if you are playing an MP3/WMA disc of music, it will continue to play while using the NAVI override switch while moving.

huh? now we have normal audio cd muted out? i thought we tested normal audio cd that day already, ryan?

flipside909

Yeah thats what I thought too, but I guess I didn't realize it was the MP3 disc that I was playing that whole time we were testing along with the DVD that I have of the IS-F Laguna Seca trip we made a few months back.

Just switch to FM or turn off your radio while Nav overiding..

I have an opposite un-related issue.. While my little one is watching her movie, when we Nav overide she gets mad that she can still hear it but can't see it, well.. because we are using the Nav features..

So I just flip to FM or turn the Radio off until we are done with the Nav overide.. Then I put her Movie back on, so she doesn't miss the video portion.

Sometimes too many things going on while driving is difficult enough, when concentration for the road is a factor.

Not a huge glitch in my opinion..

I just tested my Nav override a 2nd time today.

Results:
1) When playing a MP3 CD with Nav override ON, audio is fine.

2) When playing a audio CD with Nav override On, audio cuts off.

3) And what we already know, DVD video with Nav override On, audio cuts off.

and together with post from KK, seems like dvd audio is fine when the override is in action. so i guess mute when you are playing video dvd or audio cd

Thanks Mark - I'll keep mine. No worries here. Way to step up, though, to stand behind the product. Sign of a great CL certified vendor..... ;-)

flipside909

Agreed. Thanks for stepping up to the plate.
