Default You are correct.

Correct. You don't need the TVK-46 for ours because we don't have dvd/video capability; just nav.

I just picked up a 2013 CT w/NAV and the 10 speaker premium stereo, and I do have DVD capability. It was noted in the manual, so I thought I would give it a try while parked in my garage, sure enough, it works.

I did not get the harness...yet. I just picked the car up from the dealer on Friday. I was going through the manual and notice it mentioned DVD, I popped one in the player...nice surprise! However, once you put the car in drive and it goes into motion, the screen reverts to NAV, but the DVD audio still plays. I'm seriously considering the harness mod though.

Interesting, as mentioned I have the 10-Speaker Lexus Premium Audio System There are no Mark Levinson markings on the single disc player or the speakers.

Here is a short clip, obviously the sound quality and picture is much better in person.

I can see in your video your head unit is different from mine. So 2013 got a new head unit from 2012.

Ditto, might use this on my 13. I really like the instructions as I want to relocate my 12vdc and USB connections.

2. It has nothing to do with when you get in the car. Whenever you ARE DRIVING and want to be able to: enter a destination, call someone utilizing the dialpad, or make setup changes (add XM stocks, add new bluetooth phone or portable player, etc), you just now push the button. The button tells the system you are stopped and re-enables all the locked out "only when you are moving" features.

3. My 2012 does not play DVD's or utilize the screen for any video whatsoever. Wish it did or someone could hack it so it does. Was thinking maybe you could bypass the rear camera with a switch and feed aux video and utilize FM transmitter for sound. (still working on this idea).

I just installed my bypass on my 2013 CT200h and it works perfect. My 2013 already has the DVD player to check if yours does start your car put in a DVD make sure your parking break is on and if it starts playing then you have it. Now go buy yourself a bypass unit and get it installed. It took me some time, about 2 hrs but I was extra careful and was in no hurry.

Lucky you! Here in Europe the complete warranty of the vehicle is voided in the moment you install the module.
