Is there a way to be able to input an address wile driving on 07 models??

Also are all the wire colors and the steps the same for 07 and up models??

Did you guys just use electical tape to connect the 2 wires? (pink and silve/white)
You can get this override module for destination entry while driving: http://www.prestigioussociety.com/. You can make your own override switch if you're good with that kinda thing. Or you can create a hybrid navigation DVD that has the old '06 firmware, with newer maps (current version is 9.1 Gen 5), thus allowing the software override.

If you're cutting wires, the hybrid DVD is less work than that, IMO. Whatever floats your boat.

Change out all of your interior lights to LEDs. It looks amazing at night. It should cost less than $100 bucks. GO to V-Leds.com and check out their fitment guide. Those guys are great and their product is awesome.

by interior lights do you mean the dome lights or you mean all the dash backlights. I never seen the point of changing my dome lights.... it will be off when i drive any ways. can someone post pictures to help me change my mind?? I hate the green lights on all the bottons and would love to change them to another color.

How hard and expencive is it to change all the botton lights??

Best way to make the car look good is dropping it. Springs or coilovers. Springs are the cheaper router. Next best mod is rims.
