If you can unlock the navigation and bluetooth while in motion with this simple 10sec hack then what's the point in hacking wires other than to just do the one that allow you to watch DVDs?

I'm looking at purchasing an 07/08 AWD GS350 with ML package.. will I be able to do the finger dance hack on that and then do the wire hack to watch movies on that model?

BTW I also got a little confused with what they were talking about on the last page with the time limit.. if I do the wire hack for DVDs will it turn it off every couple of minutes? How do you work around this?

you cut the white with silver dots wire (middle harness) and purple wire (driver side harness) then you use a switch to connect the purple wire coming from the deep side of the dash (not radio) to the white with silver spots (going away from the radio (to the nav). then this switch is on all the time except to input addresses, what that does is it allows the purple VSS signal to go to the nav See diagrams and pics (thanks to quezacotl for dgm)












Here is the switch I used, came from a 3.5inch external HDD enclosure I had





DVD override: If you have done the wire modification for nav, you have already taken the speed signal away from the cd / dvd changer. All you need to do additionally to allow DVD video in motion is to trick the dvd changer to think that the parking brake is applied. All you need to do is to ground the yellow parking brake wire. You cut the yellow wire in pics and attach a grounding connector (and wire extension) to the side that goes to the radio display and ground it to chassis. This way, car thinks it is not moving and the parking brake is applied (no dash lights come on) and lets your family watch DVD while car is in motion.

Hope this helps put things in one place and makes it easier for reference…..ask your questions here so that all can benefit….
