Mark, I bought the VAIS SL2i-UP from Queensland $377 delivered, will not play video from ipod. Could have got it from Prestigious Society for US$265 delivered. Paid the extra to get Aussie warranty and back up service. Just a note, the VAIS install instructions are not as good as the Nav Module instructions, no detail on how to remove the head unit from the dash

Hi Mark, yes it’s a plug and play the same as the VAIS, no cutting of wires. It comes as two modules, one plugs into the DVD player in the rear of the car and the other into the rear of the dash screen. There is a single core thin wire connecting the two which can be installed without removing any panels. The unit is controlled by a small controller with two press buttons that mounts with double sided tape. I ran that wire out next to the steering column, left side and stuck it below the black section of dash. One button is for the nav and the other is for the phone/dvd. The whole set up is very well made. I had a small problem when starting up for the first time, the nav screen would not boot up, I had to reinstall my original V14 disk and then all was okay. Hope this helps, it’s money well spent. Cheers

Hi, just an update on the satnav/phone bypass. I ordered the bypass from Mark at Prestige Society and have now installed it to our RX with a great result. We now have full access to the navigation menu and phone menu whilst the vehicle is moving. Very easy installation with excellent instructions included. Took about 3 hours to install which was longer than anticipated but I was doing everything carefully. Probably the hardest part was running the cable from the DVD in the rear to the screen unit in the dash, difficult to push the cable under the door sills in a couple of spots. I also installed a VAIS ipod adaptor at the same time which I ordered from the Australian distributor in Queensland. This works very well and has the added feature of pinging the “I Agree” button on the navigation after about 5 seconds, saves touching the screen every time the car starts with the nav screen on. To anybody interested I would recommend both products. Cheers

Hi, I am trying to turn off the automatic door locking when the speed reaches 20km/h. I have tried to cancel this function by following the directions in the manual (page 23 for 08/09 RX350) and nothing changes. Instruction is, Turn ignition ON, shift lever from P to N, within 10 seconds of turning ignition to ON press and hold the drivers side power door lock switch in the lock position for 5 seconds and then release. Doors should lock and unlock to indicate function is set. To cancel the function, do above operation again. Does anybody know if this should work or is it a dealer setting?

The lock out on the sat nav also prevents passengers from entering destinations whilst on the move. What I would like is to hear from anybody who has installed this module from Prestigious Society before I commit to the purchase.

I don't want to play DVDs whilst I'm driving. I would like to access the phone book feature on the dash screen and also be able to input a destination to the sat nav whilst the car is moving. As standard these 2 functions are removed when the car is moving. From what the dealer has told me this is a Lexus setting and cannot be changed.

Hi, New to this, only got our RX350 (08/09 model) about 2 months ago and I am a bit frustrated with the cut out of the Nav & Phone system whilst moving. I have found a company in the US that has a plug & play module that overrides this feature and allows full access when moving. Link to their web site is http://www.prestigioussociety.com/ Does anybody know anything about this module because I am keen to buy it but would like some feed back first. It will cost about $400 AUS delivered. Cheers
