Does ANYONE in the area know how to override the 2008 Scion SNS to be able to watch DVD's and use the Navigation while driving?

Thanks

heyyy an xD owner. you should come down to MC's some time.

As helpful as cory's answer was. You might have better luck in the Ice and interior section with this one buddy. not many xD owners around here.

ya i love my xd, but the navigation system REALLY ____es me off....how many people usually show up at MC's?
Do you know anyone who has the 5.1 navigation disc i could borrow?

However, to watch dvd's you have to ground the parking break wire.

And after you cut the wire, it takes about 10 miles of driving for the gps to start working again.

i really don't want to void the warranty and i have heard of somehow making a "hybrid" disc, but i can not figure out how to do exactlly what it needs to do

SuperLdude

I've heard that too...burning part of the 5.1 and the 6.1 disc together...but i also thought i heard somewhere that it didnt work with the sns's. I could be wrong.

prestonljensen

hmmm...well i am about to try it **crossing my fingers**

SuperLdude

good luck! I just dont know how its gonna work with the motion lock out, and the parking break still has to be "pulled" in order to watch dvd's...that has nothing to do with the nav dvd

prestonljensen

hmmm....so you think if i cut the wire i could install a switch to "reconnect"?

SuperLdude

i know of a couple people on here that have!

prestonljensen

hmmm...anyone around here? i would be willing to pay someone to do this for me if they could show me it has worked before...

SuperLdude

i've just read of people doing it around the site...didnt really pay attention to where they were from

prestonljensen

sorry just realized your in california

prestonljensen

so i got the navigation override to work, but you were right i need to cut the wire for the DVD playback while driving

SuperLdude

how did you do the nav dvd? just wondering...

prestonljensen

i have the 7.1 disc...moved all the files to my external drive...then i downloaded the 5.1 Loading file and then took out the 7.1 loading file and replaced it with 5.1 file..made a hybrid disc...on a dual layer disc...VOILA!

coryjames

just ground out the parking break section might try the xb2 forums there are some how tos on there

prestonljensen
