Default NAV Control while driving

Does anyone know how to make the Navigation input available while driving? On other units I've had to ground the Parking Brake but have no idea how to do this on a Lexus with the Auto Parking Brake.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

You could say the same thing if you consider a Toyota Yaris vs a LS460L.
Both are transportation, but one does the job better than the other.

Can you DIY the Nav bypass? Sure. Youll have to do a lot of cutting, hacking and splicing.

The PS module is plug and play, and the buttons have a nice factory look and feel.

If you can afford a LS460, you can spare 300 bones.

The LS is a little more complex than just grounding a wire. The navi works with the GPS as well, so when it knows you're moving, it shuts the options off. Not just the fact that you're out of park.
