Well, even the seller is not willing to state this - I just got an email from them.

They BELIEVE there should not be an issue, but until they can get a car with 7.1 to test - they won't say for certain.

Well they can't state if they haven't tested one yet in my opinion

Given these facts below..

I know I don't have an LS (7.0) ... But I do have 7.1 disc in my 2008 IS.. and the 2007 GS members are only running 6.1 disc

So I can't find a reason why you would have an issue if you had your 7.0 upgraded to 7.1.. There is probably almost no difference between the two.

Can the LS 7.0 Hardware owners even uprgrade to the 7.1 version?

To my knowledge there is no disc in the LS nav system.

Yes, you can upgrade - but since it's possible, however unlikely, that Lexus could add or change the test criteria to determine if the the vehicle is in motion, I'm reluctant to brick my recent override until I hear more.

Have they determined if the kit will work in a non-ML car?

I got an email from Prestigious - they're expecting a local 460 to come in for the upgrade, and the owner already has 7.1 installed - they will report back sometime around the 1st if everything works as expected.

^^ That's great news..

I'm sure it will work just fine, since the overide just works with the GPS & speed sensor wiring...
It has nothing to do with the software versions...

While you're probably right, I think I'd rather wait for the reseller to make the statement that it is known to work rather than do the upgrade based on on your "confidence"

Ah, so that's what zzzdoc referred to. For some reason I thought sleep disorders specialty.

Yes, TLC for such an install op
