I just got a 2006 GS 300 AWD w/nav and back up camera, and heres what I WANT to do:
-add a stand alone dvd player to view movies thru factory nav screen unless there is a hack to use the nav dvd for video.
-unlock the unit so video can play while in motion as well as nav, BT,(without cutting wires)
-use my ipod thru the factory unit with a vais technology adaptor (unless it a less expensive equal quality piece)
Im in the chicago area if anyone nearby has experience with this
BTW, What is a hybrid dvd? Ive been seeing that pop up alot.
Please Advise
Check out the link EyeKutr posted 5 posts above yours. It dicusses the R-Spec unit which will play DVDs (assuming you have the ML audio) and take care of the bluetooth and nav limitations while driving. As to the Ipod, you can get the VAIS or Carson Toyota (a sponsor) posted a little bit ago about a Lexus and Apple approved iPod adaptor that will incorporate into your existing system and be placed in your glove box. This is the one I want. Both the R-spec unit and the iPod will have to be installed by a professional unless you are very handy (which I am not).

Man its been a little while i know its the same process as the 450h gs, the white and black wire is in a different spot then the 06,07 its on the driver side harness now so i did the same process with cutting the purple wire i believe there where three wires that you cut and one doesnt get hooked back up, i do not have a toggle switch. Like i said i can watch movies and use my bluetooth while driving but still have to pull over to do the nav. I had a guy that had bootleg disc and we tried to use it on mine and still didnt work, so i didnt know if any one has successfully converted there nav to work while driving on a 08 gs350. I could probably look up the exact steps I did previously if you want them.
I just finished doing my navi/BT/dvd hack, everything seems to be working but i don't have a switch yet. If I only have the OEM sport switch I could figure out the circuitry in the switch and make it look just like OEM. for now the 2 wires that go to the switched are connected, but that will be fixed once I find the proper switch.
Has ANYONE figured out the override for 08's? I've tried the fixes for 06-07 and they aren't working.
If you are referring to the screen touch sequence, the answer is no.

My installer tried the Option 3, but it did not completely work. It allowed nav entry in motion (jumpy) but no phone/dvd.
My primary goal is to allow MP3 / IPOD browsing in motion

i just picked up an 07 gs350 with navi no ML. Will any of these mods allow me to watch a dvd video?
No ML = No DVD playback
