I just got my '07 last week. I was the guy that paid an exorbitant amount of 42k with 7400 miles. Well I'm here to tell you that the sales guy wasn't lying. This thing is pristine. It looks, drives, and smells almost new. Still has the wrapper on the floor mats. Very very happy with it.

My question is that I want to get the iVic-i AND Prestigioussociety for disabling the lock-out features and also getting iPhone 5 with iOS 7 capabilities. Is this redundant or do I need both for full maximization of what I looking for?

PS I'm page 25 of 1200 of the manuals. Lot's to learn about the capabilities and I love it.

Thanks

This might answer some of your questions.

the ps override allows you to access all navigation menus when driving. if you have ml then the unit allows you to play dvd video when car is moving

the ivic-i is iphone integration and allow apps / audio / video to play from your phone through the factory system. if you want video to play from iphone when car is moving, you need to punch in a code if you don't have ps override. if you have ps override, you can use that system and you won't need to punch in code

but if you don't have ps override, even if you have ivic-i, you still won't be able to access nav menus or watch dvd (from factory system) when driving

Hey sarantis, in the scheme of things paying a little more for something you are really happy with is no big deal. If you lost the car because you tried to get it cheaper you would end up kicking yourself.

We are looking forward to your active participation here. Keep us updated.

See, I was right!

As to your question, I have no idea.

I plan on doing this exact same mod on my 08. Except with an Android (Samsung Note 3).

the only difference is you need the ivic and you are good to go

forgot to mention, personally i would get both the ps override the ivic/ivic-i. it just makes the setup far more volatile. in fact that's pretty much what i am doing to my car very soon

Netflix and Hulu work fine while driving with the ivic

Well, actually you also need the MHL Smart adapter by Samsung. Samsung has them for about 30-40 bucks.

If you follow the DIY on removing the nav and radio for the 460 on youtube, you can do it yourself...I paid Best Buy $65 to install mine and they were done in 30 mins

Be careful, as I mentioned in my write up on the IVIC, there are a ton of fakes out there. Amazon was selling fakes that look dead on real but when you feel the weight of a real MHL adapter vs the fake, its like night and day. The real one is much heavier due to the shielding the fakes leave out. I went to best buy and bought one and paid about $35 iirc

yes mhl is very important and you need to make sure you get one that works for your phone. quite a few customers of mine went with the cheap route and they got burned. that's money you don't want to risk.

for ivic, you need mhl, hdmi, and usb charging cable (optional)

for ivic-i, you need lightning digital av, lightning cable, and hdmi

all those not included in the package from vaistech

Excellent points

Does the IVIC-D connect the audio digitally or does it use the low quality Aux (3.5 mm) analog input?
