Question Audio System Hack?

I know the navigation hack that allows users to edit destinations while driving, however, this does not affect the Audio system.

Does anyone know how to make it so that the IS allows full control over the audio settings while the car is in motion? While driving I’m unable to do file/folder lists and a few other things…

Any ideas?

that part just overrides the NAV lockdown once the car is in motion. YOu will notice that you cannot enter destinations as you are driving you have to pull over and come to a stop before the computer will allow it. This overrides that and lets you enter in destinations while you are driving.

It just worked in my RX330. Which is really amazing since I am already
used to having that handy in my Honda Odyssey nav.

Now we all need to solve an issue of having a good MP3 player in
our lexuses. I really want one even though I mostly listen to the
radio anyway.

Any ideas?

I modified my NAV unit to allow me to use the phone dialer while moving the car, and because of you question Idicovered that it allows full use of the audio portion of the unit as well while the car is moving I can browse files folders etc as if the car is sitting still.....
