2007 LS460L with ML.

I've ordered the VAIS IVIC system to integrate my android phone, do I also have to buy the VAIS ULM-81 so I can watch DVD's and use the navigation whilst driving?

I want to do everything in one go, one install to save time and money. Is the ULM 81 the best way to go?, I did an override switch on a ES300 and it was a simple $20 switch, will this not work on the LS460L? Are they harder to crack or something. I've read up a bit but I'm still a little confused.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Does your LS have self park?

Yes it does.

After further research, it seems the secret menu with the override option is not available for 2007 models and newer. I spoke to VAIS, they said the part I need is the ULM-051, not the 81. This can be installed with the VAIS IVIC system at the same time.

So I went ahead and ordered the ULM-051, on sale for $175.00.

Good day Sir,
Quick question if I may..
I've read a lot about systems, specifically VAIS, that allows one to integrate their Android device into the car as well as watch a DVD while the car is in motion. The options that you've decided to go with, that set-up will allow you to do both, correct? How much for everything and what is the price you're being quoted for installation?
Thanks!

$400 for the IVIC , $175 for the override ULM-051, both include ground shipping. I'll need the MHL adapter, about $28, a bluetooth mouse and a USB cord, say $20?

According to VAIS yes they can be installed together. Don't see how you would use them together, but you can switch from one to the other now. I figured it was best to do everything in one go.

I have DVD's from the UK so streaming everything through Netflix through the phone wasn't the solution.

Installation will be approx $100.

Searching this forum as I am interested in purchasing the Vaistech ULM-71 to integrate my Android smartphone, mostly for voice navigation of Google maps (but other smartphone functionality would be nice too). Not sure I need the bypass to play DVD's while car is in motion. I don't think I'd ever use that.

I have yet to purchase a vehicle. Looking at either a 2012 or 2013 LS 460. Which is easier to control the bypass - touchscreen or remote interface? This might be key to my decision.

Do I need the Ivic in addition to the ULM? Do I need a Bluetooth mouse? Not sure I understand what the two separate systems do or why you need both?

Thanks for your help!

Do I understand this right

Looks like the company sells a iVIc-6i. Will this let me use the navigation on my Iphone ?

Thanks
