nop. when the car is moving (bluetooth connected) and the phone rings, no caller ID will show up. it's only when stop that the caller ID shows up.

at least on US spec

 

woohoo! i received my navi override kit today! problem is now trying to find the time to get this installed! gosh, i didn't realize so many panels have to be removed.

henry, where do you mount your navi/tv switch?

 

i put mine right by the ashtray on the passenger side, against the leather panel

 

need some clarification on this point - does the override kit automatically show the caller ID, or do you need to hit the navi switch each and every time you start your car (to enable this function)? thx

 

Hmmm, I alway see who is calling. I'll double check this today. It just doesnt make sense b/c even RDS info (radio titles) is displayed while moving IF available of course.

 

hitting the navi button will enable override, but that also freezes you cursor. you can't have it on all the time coz' the nav won't route you. it's just an on/off switch and you need to toggle it.

and yes, i need to hit the navi button and the caller id shows up

sure try it again when the car is moving (>10mph). caller ID never shows up for me, whether they are in the car phonebook or not. same case with my friend's 2is and 3gs. but if you see otherwise, that'd be interesting to see why

regarding the RDS, i mean, it's up to lexus to block anything they want. i think we can all agree lexus is blocking too many things

 

Romini do you have pictures on installation of you Navi overide kit thanks

 

yeah, that's what i thought too. i'll confirm that also later today. maybe canadian & us navi is different?

 

if you order the override kit from prestigious society, they will give you a step by step guide with colored pictures on how to install the kit

 

I have US car.

 

i will see if i can snap a picture, but after all the install the only thing exposed is the override buttons now right by the ashtray

try it out on the caller ID guys and let us know

 

you are correct, there is no caller ID showing when a call comes in while driving...screen just shows incoming call. i coulda swore i thought i saw it, but i guess not.

 

You've seen this right? https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=317601

if by installation you mean the final position of the switch, there are a couple of examples in this thread. I have mine the same place as rominl, passenger side near the ashtray against the leather side piece. convenient for me to get to but not so obviously visible to anybody else. Look at post # 58 for a pic.
