Thanks for the thread- something on my list as an upgrade.
Just to clarify, the beat sonics cannot integrate steering wheel controls?
My car displays text messages when stopped otherwise it only reads it out..I presume this would be an overridden feature as well?

Edit: I ordered the Vais Tech ULM-81 since I really like the integrated steering wheel control. I will have to leave a review when I test it out.

That's true on the separate button. Though I cannot confirm on the text option but it makes sense that it would let the system text when the bypass is engaged.

I was able to install my VAIS today and I'm very happy with it.
Yes, it does pause your navi. The trick is to cancel the bypass just before your hit the "Go" in the navi screen, it will resume smoothly. Otherwise, it will take a very long time to resume from a location that "is not real" and route it to your desired destination.
Everything is so easy because it's integrated in your steering wheel.
Something that I was not expecting (or I was not aware) is that it will bypass the restriction in the BING search engine. It is excellent in case you don't have the location in your map database.

Was the Vais $174.99? Or is their a group price available? Just wondering if it is worth it to get the VAIS for the integrated steering wheel controls, or to go with the beat-sonic for $100.

That is the price, $175. There is no group buy available for VAIS bypass at this moment however, Beatsonic does not have the group buy either which was $100, it has the regular price but send a PM to Beatsonic to see the discounted price. You will see that VAIS will be still cheaper plus the integrated controls

It is not difficult if you know which screws need to be removed (there are not too many). Took me 30 mins and I'm not a professional installer.

Rx 450h eu model
i am currently investigating all possibilities to retrofit vim and tire pressure monitoring ,ACC and home link on my 2010 RX450H...
Since Lexus support will not even know how to give me the info i need (parts no etc)
Can any one assist with part numbers ?
in particular i am looking for the part number of the adaptive cruisecontrol radar and the steering wheel extra buttons for it ( i am not sure if itrequires a ecu to control the acc ) .i have located the service workshop cd andwaiting for delivery as well.
when it comes to vim i was told by most of the above mentioned companiesthat the EU version of the 6th generation navi for Eu models has not beentested yet...
i don’t see what the difference will be in functionality though ,since thesoftware only change ,but the hardware are the same as the US models?
Any technical thoughts will be appreciated
thx
