Thanks to Muzzman1 and Lexus_x_2 for the info to bypass the Nav system. I just have it done this morning and it's working great. Now i can Dial the phone number, change MP3 folder and access to a lot of functions on the Navigation when the car is moving. I didn't have ML so no DVD player in my car, shoulda had it. But if you have the ML this hack will enable the DVD screen to play when your car is moving.
Here's the DYI step by step:
Duration: 30 minutes
1.)Remove the sliver pieces to the right and left of the wood trim on either side ot the shifter....they are simply held in with clips, they come out up/back diagonally
2.) Re move the shift knob by turning it counterclockwise.
3.)Remove the shifter plate assembly by opening the ashtray door and pull up with your fingers (i slid the armrest back) it is also held in with simple clips.
4.)Remove ashtray assy (two phillips screws)
5.)If you look in the top of the air vents you will see four 1/4" holes in the two vents. If you gently insert a flat head scewdriver at about a 45 degree angle up into the holes and gently pry down you will see that a plastic clip will come down with the driver and clip into a down position....do this to all four...then with a "plastic" pry tool, pry the vents out ...the dash is very forgiving....it will not dent...(at least mine did not) and pull the vents out again they are held in with astandard clips....This was the hard part
6.)Remove the Nav unit . There are 4 10mm bols holding in the complete NAV assy....remove them and you are set
7.)Cut the PINK wire located on connector
J50 and the WHITE (with silver paint) wire on connector
P1.
After cutting the Pink and White wires, you put a cap on the wires comming from the Navigation unit. You then connect the Pink (wireloom side) and White (wireloom side) wires together.
*** Note if you have ML and want it to play DVD when moving. You will need to GROUND the parking break wire also. It's the
RED wire on the J50 connector.
Have a Happy New Year everyone
MOD NOTE: This hack will NOT enable destination entry while moving. If you wish to have destination entry while moving, you will also need to do a hybrid 5.1 Override DVD, or use a switch as shown in this thread: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-s...witch-diy.html
