there is a hacked version of iGO8 (800x840 HD version) floating on the net, just download it then extract to a piece of micro-sd card, no modification is required, works like charm.

It's just an updated wiring harness that attaches to the car. If you installed the system in your car, then it's just repeating something you already did.

Default ML Audio

Anyone installed this with the ML Audio? Replace current OEM Nav? I have the OEM Nav with ML and absolutely love the ML sound and surround (albeit simulated for sat and radio). I tried asking Victor a while ago with no response so Mat, if you can find out what effects this will have, that would be awesome. Also, has anyone investigated if you can use this unit as a car pc? It's based off Window's CE I believe so probably not much to it adding a mini PC option?

Todd,

It's just a matter of someone with a ML package to take the leap and try the system. I haven't seen any IS's in our shop with the ML package that want the FlyAudio upgrade, so I haven't had the chance to install one yet. If there are any ML owners out there who are willing to be the 1st and help out the CL community, shoot me a PM and I will get you an unbeatable price on the system.

Thanks!

All of our clients have been extremely satisfied with the product. On other enthusiast forums, I have only heard good things as well.

Like everything else, this system is not **perfect**, but it is leaps and bounds above any other option out there, especially for Lexus!

Automax,
Do you recommend doing the airbag light harness fix on a 2006 even though it's not affected? Just in case the issue shows up later or for reselling the unit.

Has anyone tried modding a clock display on this unit like the OEM has?

I personally don't think it's necessary. These cars ECU's are incredibly sensitive to change and if there was going to be an issue you would have seen it by now. We have multiple clients with 2006 models and none of them have reported anything after months of use.

If you are thinking of re-selling the unit, then it might be worth it to contact whoever you bought it from or FlyAudio and see if they will sell/give you a backup harness.

I heard that there's a problem with the new harness, something about the passenger air bag?

Hi Matt,
I will be installing the unit in the next couple of weeks with you - so- just wanted to summarize the latest upgardes/changes to the unit that I'll be getting -
- Air bag problem has been solved?
- Is it possible to load 3D maps and/or maps from other vendors onto the system without problems?
- When you hit reverse and the back camera comes on...does the music go mute? (read that is one of the posts)
- Does the Iphone bluetooth work seamlessly with this system?

Thanks!
