Default Nav hack in BC?

Anyone know if any dealers in BC will do the Nav Hack / DVD in motion mod?

Any stereo shops or anything?

Yes looking for it on the IS350 ML system.

stkiss you did it yourself? Can you comment on difficulty and any side effects? I keep reading about the vents being difficult. I would do it myself but I am just worried about breaking something.

Where r u located?

I don't mind paying for it and I would rather have someone do it that has done it before so they know exactly what they are doing.

yup i did it myself, but only the first part (cannot enter destination while in motion). Removing the vents is the most difficult part, the rest are pretty straight forward.

Possible side effects: leaving marks on the plastic around the vents (cause you needa pry it out), rattling sound in the console area (although i'm not sure if it's due to the Navi Hack)

but over all i think it's worth it, at least I can watch movies during traffics now~

and i live in Vancouver

I live in Kelowna

I think there is like 3 ISs total in town... never see them in Kelowna. Really sucks too because the closest dealership is Vancouver so servicing has to be done at Toyota.

So do you have it hooked up to a switch or anything? I am mainly after the DVD in motion feature only.

ooo.. that's too bad then..
i have just done part 1, no switches required. Just a few re-wiring mod that's it. Just needa double check and make sure you're cutting/connecting the correct wires.

Maybe come spring if there is an ISx meet in Vancouver I can come up and pay someone to do the mod. From what I read it's like a 1 hour job.

Just get a reputable car stereo shop to do this for you. I recommend Audiolines Mobile Sound, they are located in Burnaby near Metrotown.
