Prestigious Society! for my 2010, NO buttons!! Push --++ on the steering wheel volume and it's active.

Not sure about 07-09, but they make the unit for these models.

I'm also using the Beat-Sonic NAV/DVD Bypass. They both do the same thing. Something very convenient for the Beat-Sonic is that you can keep the DVD on the bypass mode at all times. The only switch you will need is for the address input. The price point and the convenience of the DVD bypass engaged at all times is what sold me on the beatsonic...

the same is for prestigious society unit, DVD is always on bypass now (only the very old kit had button for DVD)

i can only say grounding parking brake wire alone won't do the trick on DVD at least on certain model years, been covered in other model forums

Yeah the PS is always on DVD bypass. The button for address, etc is nice and small and easy to mount anywhere. The BS unit is larger and more cumbersome IMHO.

FWIW beatsonic has a new button setup which is a good improvement. for 07-09 i think it's probably a toss between the two. 2010+ prestigious has no more buttons at all making it a full stealth install (and easier too)

I just got my PS unit from them a coupe of months ago and it still has one button for entering phone numbers, addresses, etc. Basically anything other than DVD/TV watching. You have to push it once and then after a few minutes it turns off automatically.

Got the Beat-Sonic NAV/DVD Bypass unit. Install myself. Took me about 2 hours. I think it 's worth it. 2008
