Default question on the NAV Override

i found this video on youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLFDvaeT7NA

i noticed a few of the comments that it will not work on the 2007 i am not sure of that. at the end of the video the guy explains that it the override will be turned off once the car is off then turned back on.... does that mean you have to do this override everytime u start driving... if so i prolly would just do the Nav Hack....

You can be sure that it won't work on the 2007. It also won't work on a 2006 if you update to a newer map DVD. (Though some people have made hybrid disks with the old software and the newer map data)

Yes, you lose the override every time you turn off the car.

Yes you do have to do it every time you start the car and the only thing it bypasses is the ability to enter addresses while driving. It is different than the nav hack. But really how often when youre driving do you need to enter addresses while driving?
