This is pretty exciting stuff. But, I'm still a bit confused . . .
1) Is this available for 2006 IS non-Nav models? I see a lot of later models mentioned and the website implies later models. I know this has been asked above in this thread, but I see no answer.
2) Do any of you early adopters who are rushing to order already have the factory Nav? If so, why fork out more $$$ after purchasing a pretty expensive option to begin with? Does it really add that much over and above the stock Nav?
I was going to just get a Parrot bluetooth unit for iPhone audio streaming and handsfree phone (and continue to use my Garmin for occasional guidance). But, this is a VERY interesting option to me.
Hello njmurvin, answers to your questions,
1. I asked Flyaudio if the 08-09 units work for 06-07 year cars and he said YES!!...but wasnt sure if the 09 model unit will work for earlier year cars i.e 06, 07,08. You can call him at 425-672-4828 for more questions.
2. Me and jonathan have standard non-navi cars and thus want to order this to have these cool functions lol.. But I guess if you have navi the extra features you have: play DVD's, HD screen, Bluetooth, USB ports and support and AUXs for iPod, extra monitors now . I know there are hacks to play dvd's but I think it works only for ML equipped IS's.
QUICK UPDATE TO CL: UNITS ARE NOW IN STOCKK SO EXCCCCCITEDD. Me and Jonathan are ordering as I type this and we will do reviews and video for you guys...
UPDATE: i just talked to the guys on ebay who is offering it for cheaper. They will ship it to US. Im not sure why they listed as not.
edit: So you can either pay more and have an english speaking person if you need help. Or you can go cheaper but if you have any questions, it might be slightly challenging.
The only problem is that if something messes up you will have to go through them and have to ship it back to the manufacturer in china and deal with them through autogpsdvd. I asked flyaudio about them and this is what he told me.
"The products that autogpsdvd sells with not be covered by flyaudio's policies or warranty becuase they are not an anthorized dealer."
Yeah going with autodvdgps might be good if you want to sacrifice the warranty I guess

Yeah i agree that if something does messes up you will have to go through them, ship it back etc etc. But they do offer 1 yr warranty.
Though dont you find it funny how since they are not an authorized dealer by flyaudio and flyaudio makes these units, then how are they getting these units?
Like yourself i think i will still order through flyaudio (communication is much better) than the other people.

I think its like bascially they buy some units in bulk or buy them in secondary market and then sell them for little cheaper, it's basically like how iphones have flooded the black market. Yeah atleast you have a peace of mind with flyaudio and god forbid something happens to the unit you can always ship it to them in USA.
I just registered on this site in order to add something to this thread. I've been an owner of an '07 ES350 for 5 days now. Bosslady can't see good enough out the back so I investigated rear cameras. Tried to get a Gentex, but they're having problems with my model Lexus. Long story short, it looks like I'm going the route of flyaudio. I just heard from "Marlin" at electrawarehouse.com - 866 709 6575. Even though their website does not show the systems, they do have them. He said it was 1499.00 for my car so you may want to see if they have them for the IS models. I don't see why not. I'll also be getting the camera. Hope I've helped someone.
I ordered the unit for my 2007 ES350 this afternoon. 1499 plus 20 something shipping from www.electrawarehouse.com. Here's the install instructions: http://flyaudio.us/images/fbfiles//f...n_Guide_v2.pdf I'm adding a camera to it as well. Everything should get here early next week. (This weekend would be better!)

Did you give them a call? I couldn't find my unit on their site and called. The guy to talk to is Marlin and his number is: 866 709 6575. Their hours are 9-5 on the west coast. Marlin told me he handles the website. I told him I was letting CL know about him. He wasn't aware of the site, but thanked me. So if you talk to him - mention CL. He's quite knowledgeable and he knows what the competition is charging for these units.

Well I've owned this car all of 5 days and the bosslady claims she can't see out of the back good enough. I'd been looking for a solution after learning a Gentex mirror monitor wasn't going to work when I came across this forum. I registered so I could, hopefully, make a contribution to this thread.

FlyAudio Multimedia & GPS Navigation System is the only system equipped with two CPUs (Central Processing Units) in the market. Each CPU is mounted on a separate PCB, and it works independently, producing a quicker and smoother effect when switching between navigation and entertainment systems. Compared to those one-CPU units, FlyAudio's Dual CPUs design significantly reduces the chances of system delay or crash.
