  1. I don't think they are in Valencia, rather they are in La Habra per their website. I also had their override for my 07 LS460L. Their website is www.prestigioussociety.com
  2. Shelly, the common audio system lockout is referring to the DVD playback capability when you have the ML system. With the ML system you are able to watch DVD movie when the car is in the Park position and emergency brake engaged. Once you disengaged the e-brake the system locks the video portion of the DVD. Hence, you have a black screen while the audio of the DVD movie continue to play. Another limitation is the ability to browse music folder list (if you have a MP3 disc playing) or the folder list on your HDD. hope this helps.
  3. I don't have the 600 but when I was selling my LS460L, I actually had a guy who traded in his 460L for the 600hL wanted to buy my car as he was in the process of selling his 600hL back to the dealership. His main compliant of the 600hL is the ride is a bit stiffer compare to the 460L due to the extra batteries in the trunk. I had a chance to drive a 600hL once after that and notice the stiffer ride as well. Both cars and as matter of fact the new 460AWD all have the same air suspension.
  4. I am not sure if there is a solution. Gulf Region navigation is DVD base and USA is HDD base. Hence, the way they are loading the upgrade is different. Unless you can somehow upload the DVD info to the USB drive that is needed to upgrade the USA region navigation.
  5. I heard the 3.0 software update for iPhone will enable the pairing for more than just receiving or making a call and enhancing the bluetooth compatibility. On youtube, someone use the iPhone bluetooth feature to play the songs in iPhone. Pretty cool stuff and I now wish I don't have the unlock version since I can't do the update on an unlock iPhone.
  6. Just keep in mind that you will not be able to use your navigation system when you export the car to Europe. I have been trying to research how to update navigation system from one region to another. Apparently if you are okay with replacing the entire navigation system with the Europe spec one, there is no other option. Fight On! Fellow Trojan as well~
  7. Sounds like you have the 7.0 ver. of navigation. As SW03ES stated, the latest navigation (or even the 7.1 if still available at a bargain price) update will bypass the "I Agree" for you. I have spoken to a few LS owners and suggested them to speak to their dealership on cover the upgrade under "Goodwill". If you have a good relationship with the service consultant/manager. This can be easily achieved w/o spending any money. However, there are some dealerships that will not offer this even if you file a formal complaint with Lexus Corp. So give it a shot and you may be able to get it done w/o spending a dime. As to the lock-outs, I believe others have spent enough time discussing this along with the aftermarket solution.
  8. from the picture it looks like a LS600hL. or are they making the LED headlight available for the regular LS? Would be a nice upgradeable option.
  9. as far as i know, gor is right about ripping songs from audio CD to HDD. If you are looking for an option to transfer songs from iPod, I don't think it can't be done. You almost better off to install a VAIS Tech iPod integration kit. If you op for the top of the line, it will also enable the iPod video to play via the navigation screen. BTW, isn't the HDD a 40GB not 8 GB? or did I have too much to drink tonight?
  10. I also had one installed on my 07' LS460L. It works great and particularly on the DVD since I have two little ones. The instructions that comes with the kit is very detail oriented.
  11. I have a 01GS3 and is considering ship it back to Taiwan. I know the dealerships in Taiwan are not friendly enough to service the car not to mention about updating the navigation. any one knows if the software can be changed w/o going to the dealership?
  12. Watch a movie while the car is in motion is $%^&* On the other hand, I have an override installed in my LS since my 3 years old son can watch his Elmo. In any event, I got the module from www.prestigioussociety.com. The override module is an plug and play and enable all the lock outs including DVD playback. Hope this helps.
