Default RC Navi Hack
Thank you in advance for your help.

I was trying to see if there is a manual key press sequence to allow the use of the navi when driving? I know in the past it was available on the GS.

If not is there anyone in the Los Angeles area that has the module to assist.

That's for cars that have a bypass installed. Lexus locks navi use while driving for "safety reasons", so you'll have to invest in Prestigious Society or Beat Sonic system and have a professional (radio shop) install it.

Does anyone in the Los Angeles area have a Prestigious Society or Beat Sonic system that would do it for my car for a fee?
Thank you in advance.

It's a module you buy to install, not just a plug. It'll require you or the shop to take apart your dash to install and mount it. Hope someone can chime in on good places to do it.

I had the same question as you. After some research on the beatsonic unit I jumped in on the group buy. Now I need to find a good shop in CT to install it for me.

I too got on the group buy. Hope they make it to 50 as the price will then be 50% off MSRP.

Excellent find. If we don't do it ourselves this will at least help any competent stereo installer.

I tell you what, this is some impressive stuff. That's some good customer service right there, it doesn't get much better than that.

Beat-Sonic has a video installation for the 2014 GS of the same module. I'm going to see if they can make a video installation for the RC 350.

I just paid for mine. Can't wait to get it and have more use of my expensive @$$ navigation system vice never using it.
