as anyone had any luck with doing a bypass on the stock Scion Nav unit? so that the DVD and GPS will function when the car is in motion? I found this on Ebay--

but I am not willing to pay $20 for something like this.. I have a manual trans in my xB2, and already disconnected the E-brake override, but the screen still goes blank when the car starts to move. any help would be much appreciated.

 

... selling instructions on ebay?

wow...

i know of no way to have the DVD and the NAVI both function simultaneously... besides.. you can only do one at a time to begin with anyway.

just do the switch method like everyone else has.

 

^ no. not simultaneously. obviously that is impossible since the NAv disc has to be in the HU for it to work. it's one or the other... what I can't figure out is how to make the DVD play while driving. and when the NAV disc is in to e able to input GPS while driving. *DVD is not for me to watch while driving.it's for my wife..*

 

the "switch method" i mentioned refers to placing a switch to kill and unkill the speed wire into the headunit.

the unit needs to NOT see a speed signal and the brake wire to be grounded for the nav functions the work (though the navi will not work properly without the speed signal) and the dvd to play.

so you kill the signal.. and then put it back on when you're actually using the navigation.

 

Andy,

Check with sport audio downtown I am sure they could rig you something up cheeply.
