I have the beatsonic kit for both nav and dvd override. given the cost of replacing the headunit, I felt spending 200 bucks to buy the kit was well worth the investment. it works great, thought the buttons are not small or attractive. I drilled holes in my ash tray slot (after removing the actual ashtray) and mounted there. overall, I would recommend it. the kit for the 06 gs also works for the 08 ls, which is nice.

Wait a minute, you mean I can play DVD on my ML system right now? Where the Nav CD goes?

dont cut the wires, spend the little extra money so its easier to return to stock if you ever want to sell it. i had the PS kit and i loved it. no time outs or anything.

if you have ML then yes

verly6565

Do you have a pic of the switch
Since it is plug and play im going to attempt it
How fast did you receive it in the mail

DVD go in the changer, not the Nav disc slot. Should be playable in Park with parking brake set.

heres a very good write up that Henry did comparing beat sonic to the ps kit

looks like the BeatSonic kit is a disaster with them ugly buttons and i would have to cut some wires
so it looks like ill go with prestigous society kit for a clean install

I went with the PS kit as well. No issues or problems with the install. IMHO, well worth the extra money to have better cosmetic integration.

agreed, thats what i always try to tell people. just spend a little extra money for a better product

nope, its pretty straight forward and all plug and play

i have not idea how long it took to ship. i ordered mine like 4 years ago.

install took about 30 mins and it was my first time taking my radio/unit out. very simple install though.
