Do I have to press a button on the ultimate lockpick everytime I want to use the navigation while in motion?

I emailed costaltech asking if I had to press a button and they emailed me back saying great news you can use lockpick 1 or the ultimate lockpick 1 on your vehicle. And gave me the links to buy but didnt answer my question!?

If I do have to press a button is there any module out there that will allow me to use the navigation while in motion without having to press a button?

 

I heard back from costaltech and they said "each time you activate navigation in motion you will need to follow the activation steps". Theres no FAQ on their site that says what the activations steps are.

Is there any module out there that will allow me to use the navigation while in motion without having to press a button on the module?

 

ask rominl, i think he just did an override on his GX, not sure something the same w/ urs or not.

 

with some older generation nav (gen4) and if you didn't update your map since 07, there is a finger dancing method to override nav. you do it when you start the car (every time) and then the override is there the whole way until you shut off the car. you don't need to press button every time you use it.

but other than that, there is no way you can do override without having to press a button. just think of how it works, it works by telling the car you are "stopped", so that means the cursor is frozen at that location. you will need to press button to enable / disable so the sat can track you

 

I read a thread on there that talking about that:

1) Push the "Menu" button below the NAV screen.
2) Select "Volume".
3) Tap the Upper Left corner of the screen, Lower Left corner, Upper Left Corner, and then Lower left corner (you can do all this while you are moving.)
4) A service menu will appear. Press and hold the "Override" soft button until it beeps and is highlighted.
5) Then hit the "back" button at the top of the service menu. You can now use the Navigation when moving...but once you shut the car off, you'll have to do this whole thing again.


I guess since I the older 4th gen, and old nav disc ( I checked and think it was 4.?) I'll just do the above. Thanks for your help!

 

yes that's correct. if you have (i think) 04-06 gx470, that should be gen4. and as long as your map dvd version is 6.1 or below, i think you should be able to do the above trick to override the system. of course, do it before you leave the garage when the car is stopped

 

Well I tried that and it didnt work, Im not sure why?

 

In the step 2, should be the "DVD". It works with DVD map version 10.1 too.

 

I see "Map DVD" in the upper right corner of the Menu screen. I touched that and it shows me what version Nav disc I have. Still no luck!??

 

Oh..... mine is 04. It has different look than yours. Maybe other GXers with your version have idea.
