Default Please help, nav hack?, can't find while searching......

I saw on this forum a couple months ago a part that "Toms" makes that was a harness for hacking the Nav in an IS250. I want to enable the nav control, telephone control, and caller ID, to name a few while moving and I believe this did all that. Does anybody know where that link was?
Also if you have a better alternative to what this piece offers then let me know.

It is in the TOMS website but nobody here in the USA has tried in his car, so nobody knows if it will work in our cars or only JDM cars.

I guess it doesn't do everything I want anyways, damnit.

Do they make a harness that does what I want? Enable Nav, phonebook, caller ID while moving.

You'd think we would be able to identify the connectors and just buy a male and female pair and the pins to go with them. I'm trying to look through my catalogs, but there are literally thousands of connectors that look like the ones Toyota uses and without exact measurements of pin spacing and connector shape and size it'll be impossible to buy a generic one. Guess the only thing to do is buy it directly from Toyota. How bad can that be? Does anyone have a source to buy the parts? They can't be much more than a few dollars.
