on gen4 nav, i have only worked with iphone and they all show the "accessory" message.

it doesn't really bug me much, it's just a logo anyway plus given that almost everyone has iphone now, if it was not brought up i kind of forgot the whole vaistech logo already

I took this in. It turned out the Vais unit was fried and had to be replaced.

They claim it was because I have too many aftermarket electronics installed, and one of those may have been interfering with the powersupply to the Vais unit (either the GPS locator, or the PS override). I don't think I believe that. The GPS locator is connected to an always-on power source so it can't be the same powersource as the Vais unit, and the PS override is completely separate.

Either way they covered it under warranty so I was pleased to be back in business with no additional expense.

sounds like bs to me too. i have done study on the ps override, it's a passive unit, i don't see how it can fry something else

but good though they replaced the unit!
