G'day all,

Just about to pickup my new AWD Grande tomorrow, and I was wondering if there is any success in find an over-ride or hack for the toyota Nav system fitted in the Grande's?

Also - is it true that the only compatible VAIS unit is the basic ipod box? (advanced ice seem to believe this is the case).

Thanks in advance...

No I am afraid. I am sure if it comes, it will come as a module to cancel the speed.

But I am sure it can't kill the speed all together. If you go under the tunnel and lose the GPS signal, your car speed will continue to guide the location.

I guess a module to convert speed = 0 to say 5 will do I guess.

There are many unit to connect iPod to, but yet to see a unit that display CD text ... I guess there must be one outthere that I have not found out.

Thanks for the update, i appreciate it.

What's the opinion out there on the best ipod/Iphone 3G "box" for the grande nav system? (is it the base VAIS unit?)

Also - anything enabling video on the front screen yet, A/Ice don't yet have a solution :-( ?

Thanks again.

HI ALL,

I have installed this unit from the USA, overides the NAV & Phone lockout, works a treat.

visit http://www.prestigioussociety.com/ , you can order online for USD$265 or about $300 AUD, was here in a week, great service, no problems.

You or your passenger can now set destinations and use the phone functions. IT works by tricking the unit into thinking you are stationery for approx 5 mins.

You can turn it on or off at the push of a button or it will turnoff theoveride after 5 mins. took about an hour to install, we did have to chage 1 connector, but any auto elec can do it.

You should note that we couldnt get the VIDEO bypass to work, the US version must be wired a little different,

Hope this helps

MARK

Thanks Mark, awesome update.

Any pics you may have of the install by any chance? and may i ask, what was the connector you needed to change?

well, by now everyone knows that if you hold the info button and flick the headlights on and off 3 times you get the service menu, but i was mucking around tonight and i touched the top left corner, then bottom right corner and a further diagnostics menu appears, but sadly no further into the workaround at this point... surely a few changes to some hex values will open this puppy up!

anyone out there able to open/decode the .KWI file(s) necessary?
