I am in contact with them now to find out about their unit for us 200-series owners, but it looks promising.
I will let everyone know what I find out from them.
I'm talking to them about possibly setting up a group buy option for us when the unit is available, but it should be soon.
This is great news, if all goes well!
A company called Prestigious Society has a module that will override the navigation functions while you are driving.
This is a Toyota and Lexus specific unit.
The Prestigious Society "plug and play" override module is a passive and non-obtrusive OEM vehicle enhancement designed to bypass all the system lockouts associated with the factory navigation and entertainment systems.
Key features:
In short, features and controls that are normally available when your vehicle is in the "Park" position become available while the vehicle is in motion when the override is activated.
- Enter and edit destinations
- Enter and edit Points of Interests (POIs)
- Browse the phone and address book
- Dial phone numbers on the numeric keypad
- Browse music folders and playlists from MP3 discs and/or HDD audio sources.
The DVD/Video override feature built into this override module is designed to enable full video playback for your passengers. If your vehicle is equipped with Rear Seat Entertainment System (RSES) option, the DVD/Video override will unlock the video on the navigation screen while the vehicle is in motion. If your vehicle is not equipped with factory RSES, the override module is compatible with many popular 3rd party video inputs which will enable video playback via the navigation screen.
