Default Out of the shadows and into a GS!!

So I've been lurking on here for about a month and a half and today I finally picked up my 06 GS 300. It only had 6K miles on it, Nav, ML, and AWD so I am a happy man.

I'm in Chicago and will probably be looking for advice on getting some things done to it, starting with the NAV/DVD hack I saw on here, so if there's anyone in the area that's willing I would sure appreciate the help.

Now that I have one I feel like I can finally join in all the topics

Nope, no typo. 2006 with only 6,380 miles on it. It was a lease owner who never took it out of the garage apparently. It's black on beige...I was hoping for black on black, but can't be greedy.

I haven't taken any pics yet, but here's the dealer photo from the website. Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Wow..congrats!!

Oh yeah, its best if you buy the DVD/NAVI bypass kit instead of cutting wires to do the Navi hack...just my opinion...

Really Vietdeluxx? I have been thinking of doing the DVD/Navi hack but didn't have the nerve to cut wires and take apart my car so this is great news. Thanks!

the navi override kit from prestigious society is definitely the "easy" way to do things. strictly plug n play. i would only do the dvd/navi hack as last resort alternative if there was no override kit available.
