The Prestige bypass is one device that will accomplish this.

There is also the Beat-Sonic BB6223 NAV/DVD Bypass Module

http://www.beatsonicusa.com/nav-dvd-bypass/bb6223.html

Either one will work and do the same thing. Fairly easy to install, although mine took me about 20-25 min because I was being extra careful to not break anything (especially with removing the trim/clips prior to gaining access to the nav unit).

Hope this helps,

My favorite discovered feature on my 2014 GS 350 is the full throttle mode.
People who have driven this vehicle and complains that it is slow or lagging during wide open throttle because they did not access the full throttle mode.

Full throttle mode is basically a small tactile detent in our gas pedal. To access it you would need to step on the gas pedal all the way to the floor. And right when you think it has reached its full travel you have to apply more pressure and go past that detent and voila! Full throttle mode baby!

Where is the "small tactile detent" in the gas pedal? What does it look like?
I can't find one in mine.

Do you have to have the ML to play video or are all models capable? I remember only the ML 3GS could play video before..

Apparently we have remote start on the 2015. That's a cool one.

Wow, this is an upgrade from the 3GS. I'm definitely looking to get the bypass now.

Well for me I had to set up enform first (e.g.setting up phone app and such)

After this, press the lock button twice and press and hold it a third time anywhere from 5-10 seconds and boom, she's awake.

Unfortunately it shuts off you do anything to the car ie unlock a door, the trunk, or use the remote. again.

My 2014 GS remote start will not turn off if I open the trunk by pressing the open button up under the license plate. But the car will shut off if i touch any doors or remote.

Ahhh no enform app in Lexus in Canada so remote start is out. Also I tried a dvd video tonight and only got sound. I will try a studio dvd tomorrow and see if the video portion plays also.

Does the parking brake need to be on? I never checked before getting the bypass.
