Nav while moving?

[johnups]

just found this out on the way home from a super bowl party. the wife wanted to play with the nav while I was driving and no such luck. i'd be interested to hear about an override.

Who really gives a dick about if you don't like the navigation override in this thread? If you're against it please start another thread. The OP asked a question about setting destination on the fly, can we stay on the topic?

The NAVI lockout happens at 5mph and above.
One simple way around this lockout is to pre-enter the destinations as waypoints or something like that (haven't tried that myself).
The lockout only prevents more complex operations such as entering addresses...

Another hack is to install a lockout defeat switch.
Some kit may be available for CX9 already (haven't checked for a while).
It basically fools the NAVI into believing that the vehicle is running at <5mph when switched on. Once entry is done, switch it off again.

There are vendors who sell such kits
- www.coastaletech.com
- www.prestigioussociety.com
for Toyota/Lexus.
The latter was looking for a test vehicle for implementing a kit for CX9.
If you are in LA area, you could be the one. You are welcome to contact them.

Just FYI. (not endorsing either of them)
P.S. CX9 uses NAVI from Denso, who also supplies Toyota/Lexus their NAVI systems.

I have personally contacted Prestigious Society as well, like ceric said they are looking for a local test vehicle in LA area, you can contact chung@prestigioussociety.com if interested. I know for Toyota/Lexus there is this option to cut speed wire I would do the same for my CX-9 if someone already have done so...
