Hi guys,

I have a presara and there is this safety feature which is annoying. When the car is moving, I can't press most buttons that are available for navigation or audio or phone such as, putting in new address, browsing files of MP3, or dial a new number. Does anyone know how to disable this stupid feature? I asked my local dealer but they don't have any means to disable this and suggested to post a question in forum. Who knows some hackers out there managed to bust this feature altogether? :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

That is not stupid, it is designed to keep the driver to concentrate on the road - some features are on the steering wheel.

Having a poke in the dark, im guessing that the stereo is connected to your ECU. All you would need to do if this was the case, is trick the car into thinking your not moving....

search on youtube, search "Toyota Navigation Overide"

That video was actually pretty good, but too bad the navigation that I have is of different make or model. I tried it as what's shown in the clip but it did not work. Any other suggestions guys?

I find this annoying too a few time i have been in a hurry and asked the passenger to key in a destination and it's a total pain evry time you come to a full stop you get a few more letters in and you really do have to stop and do it.

it is a NECESSARY safety feature though as you know you would abuse it and have a bingle and sue them don't you.

At least you can still use the speed dial and last no. dialed on the phone.

disabling it probably not really a good idea

Hi - me again,

After searching the Net, I've found many "hits" but a lot of them like/similar this:

Many of the Toyota nav systems have an override code to allow for entering

new addresses etc while the car is moving. You can search on the net to

find needed sequence. The override instructions for my Highlander are as

follows. I have been told that this works on some Lexus models

"To Override : Push the menu button, push the volume icon in the middle the

screen, push the volume icon in the top left corner of the screen, push the

bottom left corner (with no icon), push the volume icon in the top left

corner of the screen (again), push the botton left corner (with no icon)

(again). At this point a new menu appears. Some cool stuff here like the GPS

satellite data. I would not mess with stuff though, because you might screw

up your car. One of the buttons says "override" push and hold this button

for 5 seconds, then release. The button will stay blue. Then push the back

button."

My sugestion is only let your passenger to do this when you are driving.

Good luck,

BH

LOL... That was exactly as what the video was doing... I tried doing the same thing... Maybe I did it wrongly. Anyway I will try again later today and tell you guys how it is.

The thing is... this safety feature sux. I have another car, Mercedez C200K and it will allow me to do anything when the car is moving, And no sueing from me and anybody else that I know of. LOL

Forget about incar navigation systems. Just get a Garmin Nuvi 660 and you'll be able to mount it either on the windscreen or on the dash at almost eye level. Plus you'll still be able to use the touchscreen for bluetooth, MP3 and FM transmitter, etc. while driving.

Hi

Yea i totally agree. Especially when your mates want to put in destinations and you cant intill you get to lights or pull over. does anyone know the actually model number of the AVN nav system?? cause might be easier to find a hack for it.

thanks
