Default Install DVD/Navigation Bypass LS460 2013+

So guys and gals, here is my video showing how to install the DVD/Navigation bypass on a LS460 2013+ (Beatsonic NDS6223EP). Enjoy!

Hi Nate, congrats on the really nice install. There is hardly any space behind the head unit to squeeze in the Bypass wiring harness, so everything must be very snug and unlikely to cause rattles.

It's great to know the Beatsonic Nav Bypass kit works well for you. I am also very happy with my Beatsonic mirroring kit which includes the Nav bypass kit. I was smiling when you were entering an address into the Nav system: the Lexus system is pretty clunky. I am much happier with being able to use Google maps with mirroring. Besides, the Lexus navigation maps on my car are badly out of date and for the NY area, so being able to use Google Maps is really nice.

So, you can tell us, the DVDs are for you, right, not your kids?? Be safe, bud!

Lol, yeah I'm gonna watch Braveheart on my way to work tomorrow j/k. I got this unit mostly for the DVD bypass but when I do need quick navigation I always have my phone hooked up to Bluetooth and since I bought the cig lighter magnetic mount my phone shows me google maps fairly well.

No wonder, you have a phablet . That screen is almost as large as the Nav screen!
