What caught my eyes beside the extra video input is "The units will come with instructions on how to bypass the factory lockout of some functions (such as address input) while the vehicle is in motion."

umm, interesting. i don't know what they mean by "instructions on how to bypass", but looking at the harnesses, i am not sure how this system can override the navigation.

I installed the Prestigious Society NAV Override -- works great.
Same cost, only two plugin connectors -- no "clip" connectors.

I'd be warry of purchasing ANYTHING from Brooklyn, NY -- Lots of "grey market" stuff and VERY difficult to get refunds.

Stick with the tried-and-true.

Contact Mark at: info@prestigioussociety.com or call: (562) 644-3268

I'm in the market for an override and will stay away from Cardemand. Here's why:

1) Their email is xxx@hotmail.com. Businesses should have a domain...they're cheap.
2) The add says "...don't leave a message, just call us back again...".
3) The number is a cell phone. Called yesterday and the mailbox was full.
4) Finally got someone on the phone and found out that this unit is to provide for new inputs...it doesn't make use of the existing DVD changer. Also, when asked about "instructions on how to bypass the factory lockout..." he kept saying that he doesn't recommend that.

I would shy away from this product.

I was curious to find if it was a good product but it's not worth the risk even if you live near by :-)
