    I had a switch installed by Beat-Sonic that allows my passenger to input address data into the screen while the car is in motion. Great enhancement!

    I am most interested.

    The thing that would hold me back (mostly) would be the ease by which the dash and/or panels are removed an then put back in place rattle free.

    You don't have any photos of the install by any chance, do you?

    How does lockout bypass know that the passenger is mashing the buttons?

    (For once) it was a serious question.
    I was genuinely interested if the BSUSA mod used the passenger seat sensor to allow the bypass, or it bypassed the lockout altogether.
    The reason I asked was that I'm not interested in the latter.
    The reason that these VSS lockouts are de rigueur in OEM GPS units is that lawyers MAKE them use them.

    Insurance companies have lawyers too, and they have lots of leageleze in their policies that say that if you lock out safety devices and get caught then you're skrood if you need coverage.......say after squishing somebody's rear bumper.....or their kid.

    No thanks.
    I see the value in letting a passenger diddle with the GPS, especially since there is already an industry standard sensor that other lawyers make the OEMs put under the co-pilot seat. I understand that there are drivers that are going to drive distracted, and there's no fixing that.... ;)

    I took the dash down in my 2008 several times myself and I am no technician. Looks harder than it is.

    Sorry,

    I read the initial listing of cars and model years.
    Following your advise, I drilled down a little further and found the updated compatibility chart.

    Thanks.

    In the picture of the opened up dash..

    It looks like you had to remove 4 screws to remove the head unit, to get to those you had to remove the vent and the right portion of the dash.

    Did you have to disconnect the 12 volt battery from the car ? Did it reset the backup beep ?
    Did you have to remove the start button ?

    On the floor is a little white box. It looks like it has 3 little bnc type connectors, Is that the video in ?
    Is the little white box to be glued in place in behind ? Are bnc cables included ?

    BeatSonic made a video of the install. They told me they would let me know when it is ready for viewing. I'll share when I can.
