Who (some Lexus Guru ) will be the first one who can explain how this video was possible?
Will they be able to list what items were installed or modified?

I'll post my explanation and a complete how-to video after this thread generates some good responses.

HOW DO YOU DO THIS???

My guess: VAIS Tech MediaLinQ Plus (ML+)

He said no mark so can't be vain. I'm guessing he's good with video editing.

ML+ doesn't mean mark Levinson. It's MediaLinq +

I am pretty sure there are several options for doing this available in the market (for without Navi, with Navi, and with Navi +ML). I am pretty sure there are plenty of post discussing this. I currently have in my GS w/Navi the VAIS SL2Vu. I have the Video/Audio RCAs which I have wired to my center console. This will support all sorts of inputs including a gaming console. Given my car has Navi, the picture will automatically be turned off while in motion unless you do the override switch/bypass: My question to the original poster is if this affects the GS without Navi's motion sensor? Thanks.

Default How I Did the GTAIV Gameplay Video on my Lexus

I posted the official answer on YouTube but I'll post it here as well.

1. My parking brake is on Didn't perform the bypass yet, but it's coming so if you are interested in that, sub my YouTube channel HomeAddition for the upcoming how-to instructions. I try to make the best tutorial videos possible by going the extra mile and keeping my YouTube fans in mind.

BTW: I already have several Lexus How-to Guides

2. I used my iPhone.

3. I taped the Grand Theft Auto IV gameplay on my PC and I used my iPhone to capture the audio because the software didn't record the audio.

4. I used PowerDirector to create the video file with the spliced in audio.

5. I installed the Vais SoundLinQ2 (SL2Vi) Installation video comming soon

6. I simply put the car in park and played the video from my iPhone library, then I used my iPad to tape everything

I really like this car and look at it many time. The wheels are just really cool but the whole car is a showpiece.
