Hello My 430 peeps,

I just go my baby, a 05 UL crammed with everything, including PCS and parking assist. 18" Lexus alloys. WOW...... I had a 98 LS400 for the past 7 years and I do miss her, but my new baby is sooooooo sweet. I've only had it three days, but I had been trolling this board for a while, lots of great info!!!

Okay here will be my contribution I am an engineer and I will post the Hardware Nav hack with a switch for the 430. I will also install a Viastech SL2Vi. SO I will post everything when Iam done, unfortuately it may be three weeks before I can start/finish. FYI the mod is simple...hardest park is tear down. Okay thats it!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the LS430 side of the house. I personally cannot wait to see what you work out with the Nav hack and SL2Vi since that is what I have installed.

Looks silver to me... ha ha j/k, yes, it does look very clean and nice. Silver is a very good neutral color for hiding little chips and light colored to deflect the sun's rays.

ScubaDogg, so you're an alum of the University of Cincinnati? See the BearCats flag on the wall.

Enjoy the car... we all do...
