You would also have had jumpy nav response.

That's correct, just make sure that both sides are insulated. If either side of the cut wires contacts ground you will have problems. Car side will trick the car into thinking it is moving, and you will have trouble shutting the car off - NAV side and it will believe you are still moving - without a real signal - so you won't be able to program the nav in motion plus it will be jumpy.

- would completely disconnect the NAV from the motion sensor, but in this way enabling you to use the nav functions at 100% (eg. enter destinations)
OR
- leave the NAV connected to the motion sensor for normal usage (95% of time, when you don't need to enter destinations while in motion)
More: given that you're already opening up the car for the NAV hack, maybe you're even interested in the 'Back Camera hack' at this link:

And in the same post for a pdf of the NAV wiring diagram:

When you ground the red wire (I have Nav w/ML) do you ground the wire loom side or the plug side? My dvd works until I let go of the foot break. Before, it would stop working once I put the car in reverse. I know I am close but could use some help.

Plug side, you will also need to hack the speed signal as well. The multidisplay uses both signals in order to determine whether or not it can display DVD video.
With just the speed signal hack, you get MP3 folder navigation, Phone Dialing, and Phonebook. (I think there may be some additional things as well).
If you only ground the plug side of the red wire (parking brake hack only). you get nothing.

Would this work?

Someone suggested it would work on the GS models and since it works on Prius?
