Default Picked it up

Hi Everyone, thanks to some of your answers to my questions I had on the battery I took the plunge on a lease takeover on a 450h. It's so smooth and silky ...it just might be a little toooo smooth, know what i mean??
Hope to have some pics up shortly. Only thing i need to do is read the manuals...holy crap it's like a friggin text book + the NAV manual.
I know what i want for Xmas now. Iphone integration...any suggestions? Is there any cool mounts for the iphone that can be tucked away in the centre console? Like a spring loaded/motorized one?
Very happy to join the club. Just need to get the prior-owner-smell outta there.

congrats on your new car! ipod integration would be great, vaistech is a great option and a lot of us have that. while at it you should consider the override as well so you can take full advantage of your system. you can always contact prestigious for more info.

not sure about the iphone holder though, i usually just keep mine in the center console

enjoy the car, you are going to love it

Overide? What does that do? I'm not a techy kinda guy, in fact my mom told my wife to never let me handle tools or go near the fuse box. I am that technically and electronically retarded. What/who is Prestigious?

sorry for the short info. right now you can't access any of the navigation menus when driving (gray out), same with phone book, phone pads, audio tracks, etc... the override allows you to gain access to all these when you are driving. also, if your car has mark levinson audio (i suppose so), then with this unit dvd video is available when car is moving. ipod integration i am sure you know what it is already, to play songs/videos from iphone/ipod

pretigious is the company selling these, if you want you can email them at chung@prestigioussociety.com

Hey Rominl, thanks for the helpful tips. That Mark Chung guy is pretty pleasant to deal with, very candid which i liked very much. Said I didn't need his product, what a refreshing answer! Just put the order in.
