Navigation Hack DIY Part Two - Destination Entry While Moving Switch

One caveat: If you are traveling at high speeds (such as 55+ MPH on the highway) the system will eventually (after 1 minute or so) realize you are moving as it is receiving GPS coordinates... So, if you are at highway speeds and flip the switch, you'll have about 1 minute of time to enter your destination... Then it will be locked out again... But, all you have to do is flip the switch off and back on again and it will unlock... At slow speeds I think this only happens after 2-3 minutes, maybe longer... I've never taken long enough to enter a destination to find out...
i was just thinking...correct me if im wrong...but if the nav locks it self again after a min or so going at high speeds...wouldnt this mod be farily useless for those that want to be able to watch dvds while driving??? unless they dont mind constatnly turning the switch "on" and "off"

Okay, so suppose that something bad happens, and my Nav is shot after a couple of years.
What does all this hacking mean to my warranty?
Me thinks that the warranty is null and void. I wouldn't dare take this chance if a replacement will cost me serious jack.

Because the 2006 disc is flawed, and has guided people into the ocean. There was a technical service bulletin out on it for a replacement.

BTW, there is a firmware (V1600) that still has the software override, and also fixes the satellite locking issue.
The reason for this switch is because, personally, I prefer to have the ability to override at the flip of a switch, not a sequence of button presses...

Do you recall which data version the v1600 corresponds too printed on the disc? Was it 05.1?

Navi Hack lighted switch
Hey guys, two things:
1) For those of you who might be a little confused when doing the NAVI hack like me, even with the 300 posts and the high-res pictures, I have the following helpful hints for you:
a) The vent tabs should be pushed DOWN and will stay down.
b) The pink wire (J50 bundle) coming from the car should be connected to the white/silver cable (bundle UNDER J50 going to J1)
c) E-tape, cap the cut ends (pink, J50 and white/silver, J1)
2) I have a lighted SPST switch connected to the pink and white/silver wires. What do I need to make the light go on (relay, a different switch)? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Pink wire(coming from the car)===== connect====>white/silver wire(to plug BELOW the J50, NOT to the J50 plug)
then cap off
Pink wire(from J50)
White/silver wire (from P1)
