Default New GS450h owner

Hi,

Just picked up my brand new 07 GS450h silver on black last night, it's been an awesome car. Does anyone know how to perform the NAVI bypass on the 07 GS450h? I saw there was a forum member did the bypass on 07 GS350, does the same method apply to GS450h? Thanks!

No shark fin, but I do see the shark fins on the GS350s on the dealership's lot. I dunno why, maybe it's just a Canadian model.

Hey!
Very nice ride!
I read another thread stating no sharkfins on the hybrid,not sure why,though.
would you prefer to have the "fin" on top??

It has nothing to do with BC, for the no sharkfin! NO GS 450h's have a shark fin. The answer I got was, it's what makes it different on the outside from a normal 07 GS. ONLY THE GS450h's DONT have the fin. I have the 450h and thats the answer I got. NO 450h's US models will have a fin. I'm HAPPY about that. Those fins look like crap and are UGLY! Nice car though man!! I Have my XM installed and you can even see the receiver antenna. Therefore stealth, and perfect signal. Much better than the ugly fin! my opinion.....

Great, thanks for the clarification, I personally don't like the shark fin look, since it "breaks" the flow of the curvy looking body.
