FlyAudio was the first then there were a bunch available on alibaba but now nothing? They were on sale for around $600 and they were all over the place. Now I can't find them anywhere near that price?

Were they all duds?

Probably just not profitable to manufacture them anymore. The one for your car only fits '06-'08 IS cars, a very small market.

Why not just go aftermarket with Beat Sonic adapter?

Well the problem with aftermarket units now, is they are in a weird spot that not a lot of people like. At the bottom of the console and the shift **** kind of blocks it.

The only way these days to get a screen on the top or looking oem as possible is to have one custom made

Theyre in the vendor classifieds. Theyre looking for test vehicles in the CA area. Maybe give them a shout if youre from there.

Dam I have a 6MT. Are there any alternative for a manual car?

Do you know why it wont work on MT? When I shift I dont see it affecting the lower portion of the HVAC/Radio.
