Default Scion xD Navigation Override

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.

check this thread out!

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'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.

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
