Default 1999 GS300 - Nav Input Problems

Unable to input some options when programming Nav system. Screens freeze and touching screen to activate menu items is not productive. If I turn ignition key off and restart I can sometimes get farther into the menu. For example, if I want to enter a specific destination, I can sometimes get into the process of entering an address, but then the screen freezes. What's going on? Would disconnecting the negative side of the battery for a few minutes reset the system?

Are you trying to input info while you are driving or at a standstill?

Driving. Is that a problem? Never considered having to enter everything while stopped.

The nav in my 99 GS will only allow me to input destinations while the car is at a stop. Once the car starts moving the functions will "ghost out".

It is a safety feature in the nav system. No user input while driving. Search the forums for the thread with the override sequence.

override sequence-

go to menu, system options
touch the top left, bottom left, top left, bottom left, and bottom right.

blue screen pops up and you select the top right option - override something..

select back and you're good to go

does this override method also work on the hard drive based navigation system? or does it only work on the dvd based navigation?

this does not work on the 98-00 hard drive based navi, there is no over ride that anyone knows of to input directions while moving. You have to input them while you're at a stop.
