Hi. Is it possible for the Satnav to be used by the passenger whilst on the move. Buttons needed are greyed out whilst not in Park. It would save me time if this was possible.

Thanks in anticipation.

As it's a safety feature i don't think it's possible. Probably part of programming. I have never heard of a way to bypass it BUT doesn't mean someone else hasn't.

Not sure about the GS models but on my IS250 I had to update the satnav disc to a newer version. I believe after 2009 it is possible to input destinations whilst on the move. The newer disc have the firmware installed which allows you to use this function.

There will be in input wire into the stereo connections somewhere that detects the "park" condition. You could probably interecept that and fake the grounding or 12v that gets applied to it. All at your own risk of course.... lol
