Hi, new to this, please help!!

I just bought a 2006 GX470 - Will doing this work on that model? It was to my understanding that you couldn't watch DVD's on the front monitor no matter what (even if the car was in park and not moving) I thought this option became available in the 2007 models. PLEASE LET ME KNOW if this will work with 2006 GX470 (and possibly a way to test beforehand?)

Thanks for the help!

Not sure about the '06 but with my '08 you put it in park, pull up the e-brake set the radio to DVD and pop a disk and play it in the multi changer and it is there.

it should!

i have a lockpick in my 06 GX470 but the way described in this thread is a much cheaper alternative

So to be clear, the lockpick allows the DVD player to function even when moving and it also does away with the warning screen and allows full access to all nav functions while moving as well, do I have that right?

you got it..that's exactly what it does.

Thanks. is this the thing thats an easy install right under the driver seat? I seem to recall someone pointing me inthe direction of the lockpick site but there was one for $125 and another for 4220. I couldnt tell what the difference was in the pricier version. This sounds like exactly what I need to get, especially if it means I can avoid pulling my whole dash apart.

so will this work on a 2008 with the mark levinson? can we skip the whole using a switch?

sidwin · 02-11-12, 06:22 PM

fyi on a mark levinson 2008 the plug that you have to mess with is the one closest to the driver side NOT the middle. i just installed a beat sonic module and that's what i had to disconnect. to be honest... it is so worth the $150. dang thing just works and installation is clean. it also allows me to make calls in motion now too.
