My installer did it - he actually followed the driver side instructions and then your instructions - now DVD works, BT works while moving and Nav works fine just have to stop rolling to type anything in.

What do you mean by "just have to stop rolling to type anything in"? Do you mean that you can watch the DVDs but otherwise, the nav is just limited as it was before the hack?

so you have the 6.1 NAV, where you can't just do the touchscreen hack like I do to input destinations.......?

Happy watching.... BE Safe

We did not switch at all. Can watch DVD's while moving, can operate BT phone via screen while moving, can not input destinations while moving.

Is the BT functionality unchanged after the hack or can you do more now while moving with BT than you could before the hack?
