Default 2008 RX 400h NAV hack or kit

I have a new RX 400h with NAV but without the ML audio system (is that even available in the 400h?).

What is the best way to do the NAV hack to allow bluetooth, and address entry while moving? Does the Lockpick or Lockpick 3 work on this model? How about the PrestigiousSociety kit from Japan?

Does the old fashioned cut the wires and install a toggle switch work still in the 08?

Help me out please, the information out there only appears to be on the GS and IS models.

Yes, Mark Levinson is available on all RX 400H's. Use the "search" function on this forum and enter "Lockpick" and read the threads and posts devoted to owners' experiences with this issue and various products.

I have used search and read the lockpick threads. You go to the actual Lockpick site and it says it works for only the '06 400h. I understand a new NAV hardware and software has been introduced since.

Have a look here from the RX330 and RX350 Forum:

I have an 08 RX 400h with Nav & ML, yes it is available, however with the ML
the basic lockpick is all that works, w/o ML I think the Lockpick 3 works, call lockpick and ask them. When I called them they were friendly and helpfull. I bought the lockpick basic for my car and it woks just like they advertize.
