Sat Nav ? ? ?

[yacoob]

on the is you can only input destinations while the car is at a stop

i know its a safety precaution

but is there a way of disconnecting this feature so that it may work while the car is moving

alegedly, you can earth the speed sense wire via a switch.

Is it an early sat nav with the removeable controller?

Cant you use it if you take it off the cradle?

From what I remember - my 99T IS200 still wouldn't let me change destination even if you removed the little remote.

I believe Lexus have extended this frustrating feature so that the Bluetooth phone only lets you use one of 18 preset numbers while moving, in the new generation cars too.

There has to be a firmware option / hack for this, but I never managed to find one.

You can remote this safety.

I only asked Lexus to do it with the service.

They get the speedo information off.

There is only one problem, When you don't receive GPS informations(in a tunel for example) the nav system don't react because it doesn't know how fast you drive.
