Thinking about upgrading my 06 GS300 V5.1 to newest version and I have some reservations which are stated in the following:

1. Whats the difference between v5.1 v. the newest version?
2. If i was to upgrade, can i still override the navi so that I can use while it in motion?
3. Can anyone chime in regards to pros v. cons?

Thanks.

 

1) mainly just map data, POI, etc...
2) you lose that feature

 

I just did this myself...

Can you play dvd's on a non-ML navigation?

 

no..........

 

not unless you have a vaistech unit that supports video. even then though you would need an ipod or something to play it with, it wont work from the unit because ML is the only one that has the dvd player built in

 

I wish there was a cheaper option of doing it

 

that is cheap compared to the price of having ML

 

Arent they like close to $400.00?

 

depends which you get. you would need to get one that supports video though so probably. Henry would be able to help you better than i could. i never had one since i had ML.

 

yeah the vaistech sl2vi or the prestigious society meis. vaistech is 350 and prestigious is 300
