I didn't even buy the product (still waiting to hear how it works on the non-ML version) and I think that's fantastic. Customer service the way it used to be!!

indeed, PS has always provided me superb customer services i have never seen elsewhere. what's surprising is they also provided me with the lowest price i can find out there. i am glad to keep on getting stuff from them

I agree

Noted in original post, I have a 2006 GS300 with Gen4 Nav and ML and dealer installed satellite radio. Car came with 5.1 dvd which had the hidden override menu via touchscreen. Lost that as expected when i upgraded to 7.1 dvd which is why i wanted the kit.

Just got my kit installed today. works as expected other than the navi override only stays in force for less than 60 seconds, not 5 minutes. In less than a minute the touch screen buttons gray out again even tho the red navi light is still on. if i click the switch off, wait a few seconds and click it back on i reacquire override capability.

Anybody else have my configuration (06 with Gen4 Nav, 7.1 dvd)? Having the same issue? Wonder if it's a quirk with 06/gen4 or if i have a faulty harness.

PS. Mark from PS has been very responsive and is on it and I'm confident will address it. Still any ideas appreciated.

Very nice, looks like your from Jacks. Maybe you can help me when I get my GS

Interesting. I'm beginning to believe the ML in the GS either Gen 4 or Gen 5 nav are wired differently which is causing the different operations to not work as is in the other models.

if the plugs are the same, i would imagine the wires to be similar, kind of weird for them to re-arrange the wires with the same plug

either way, i wonder if 7.1 has any effect on that. there is a ls460l owner with 7.1 saying he has some issues

I wish we could pull out every unit and make comparisons to the rear plugs.

lol, true. at least i have a 08 to try on 7.1 when the time comes. 2006, that's a bit tough

^^ 2008 IS350 v7.1 - Just checking in to say all is working normal...

ok. unless my kit is defective, i guess me and my sissy 06GS with 7.1 are the problem then

30 to 45 seconds of override time is what i'm getting.

the reason why i am not sure is because of the plug. one of the two plugs is not the exact same one i have seen on the 2is and 4ls

ecount, have you contacted prestigious?

ecount00

I have. they are trying to do a test but difficult to duplicate my combo. would like to figure out if my device is defective or just the way it always works with my configuration. Mark has been very responsive and offered a refund if nothing else. will see

Just for grins, I pulled the battery cable, then reset the nav to the 5.1 data dvd. Same results. approx 30 to 45 seconds of override time. i did notice that if i kept the speed below 30 mph, i would get maybe a minute 15 or a little more. at about 40 mph it was the 30 to 45 seconds. went back to 7.1 dvd and was able to duplicate the results. didn't use a stop watch but using the dash clock as a rough timer didn't notice any diff between 5.1 and 7.1.

definitely the override interval is dependent on speed. that is probably obvious to others but sharing just the same. that may apply to all but is more noticeable in my case where the override window is so compressed. I don't think I would have noticed the speed variation if the override stayed in force for 2 minutes or more as a norm. would have been done and clicked it off before then. In all cases the red navi light is still on even tho the touchscreen buttons have grayed back out. in all cases it's about 35-45 seconds at about 45 mph.

haven't done any timing test at 50 mph or above. maybe at that speed i will have had to set the navi target 2 days before i leave to stay inside the window

man, that has to be the weirdest scenario.... i start to think it's a defective unit now...
