Default Anyone from San Diego do ther NAV hack yet?

Just checking to see if there is anyone in San Diego whose done the NAV hack on there GS yet. I'd do it my self but don't feel comfortable tearing apart my car and would rather have someone else that's done it before do it for me. I've tore apart my IS and Civic but iffy about doing to on the GS.

just look at the DIY thread, if you have done this on other cars you shouldnt have any issues on the GS. Its easier to take apart the dash on the GS then it is on the ISx50.

If you don't have a kit, you should buy Rominl's kit. He had one for sale. Instructions are really easy. Very little damage. Much better than cutting wires.

I actually had an IS300 but yeah the pnp kit is an option but tearing apart the dash and all that is what worries me most. At least this early into owning my car.
