Hacking and upgrading a 2008 GS
Greetings all,
Could you post links to forum discussions on hacking a 3rd generation GS with the 4th Gen of the navigation software? I know that there are some changes that require an interface, software, and a subscription. I also know that there are some tricks that you can do without the interface and the software.
I just dropped my GS off for a recall and I asked them about making some changes. They charge $138 to hook up the car and change any number of preferences (they gave me a list). If the cost of the interface, software, and one month's subscription is less, I would seriously consider that route.
The main thing I want the dealer to do is deactivate the auto-tilt/telescope wheel. I know from reading the forum that the system is very durable, but I am a spry 59 year old and I would be happy not putting wear and tear on the power systems.
Other changes I want to do:

Other changes I want to do:
- update the 4th Gen nav DVD (image of the current DVD below)
- mud guards/flaps;
- install an iPod adapter (for 4th/5th generation iPod classic);
- repair or replace interior rear view mirror
