Please refer them to advertising@clublexus.com if they want to become an authorized vendor or setup a relationship with an existing vendor if you want to setup a GB for their product.

^^ We're just talking about a product that can possibly, and finally, solve our problem, what's wrong with that (besides the mention of a group buy, just a thought, not an actual action)... We're not blessed with a huge aftermarket support at this current time.
I'm not trying to stir anything, but seriously, what's wrong with finding, and talking about a product that solves our non-Mark Levinson problem? Isn't that the whole purpose of a forum is to help each other out? With these strict rules, how will we ever see new products for our very new 2IS?

AVElectronics are still doing their R&D.

I strongly agree with Zephyr. We were just naming random companies in hope that might have the potentials in solving our non-ml problem. Many of us were just to excited, and can't wait to see the results; therefore, we mentioned about group buy. Hope this will not be against the forum rules.

From a phone conversation with nav TV... they said that this module will emulate a ML DVD Changer. he also stated that 3 wires must be cut and 1 must be grounded. It sure sounds like the Nav Hack to me... but we will see.
my part is on special order and won't arrive until another week or so.

If it is just the dvd capability that some people are interested in, couldn't we just purchase the actual ML headunit? which should most likely be under 800 $. Isn't this what was done on a GS a while back?

A) Finding and talking about a product, linking to info on that product or mfgrs website, discussing DIYs and info about it, etc is absolutely fine.
B) Talking about setting up a group buy with a non approved vendor, asking about pricing for the group buy, linking to GB on another website, organizing a GB on this forum is absolutely not allowed and if it continues the thread will be locked.
I quoted three members engaged in that type of discussion and issued a very clear warning with quoted examples of where the issue was. It is not fair to our forum (which is FREE for you to use) or our CL vendors (who pay $$$ each month to keep this forum up and running FREE for you and all the other members) to give unpaid advertising and group buy sales to vendors who do not help us. CL historically operates in the red every month and if you want to 'help each other out' , get them to sign up to be a CL vendor and provide better support to the Lexus community.
If anyone wants to talk further about our forum rules on group buys you can PM me. Let's not take this thread further off topic.

But where can be buy a ML DVD Changer for $800?
This setup will cost about $850.00.
It will consist of the module and a DVD Changer that will be mounted in the trunk.
The remote eye will be wired to the front.
All options of the DVD Changer will be controlled via remote, not touch screen.

I already looked into the price. They only sell it as as whole unit (i.e. DVD changer, head unit, etc). It costs $1980.

Hello ,
First I would like to say I have A RX350. I've been looking at this, the cable that car lost bought is only a input. This cable is like having a rear ent. system. The cable will work but it only goes to the radio. You will need a cable to send the signal to the nav screen. On my car (I have not done this yet) the plug are as follows R31 same as car lost cable will be input. Plug R30 of the radio to the plug M3 of the multi-display (nav screen). I will post some pics of the harness.
